Aim Findings from recent studies suggest that obesity may be associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer, but several earlier studies were less conclusive. Here we strive to estimate this relationship in a meta-analysis of published data. Methods We searched Pubmed and Embase for studies on body mass index and the risk of endometrial cancer, published from 1989 to 2011. Data were independently extracted and analyzed using random or fixed effects meta-analysis depending on the degree of heterogeneity. Results Seven cohort studies and 11 case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, the conditions of excess body weight ([EBW] defined as body mass index [BMI] ≥25 kg/m2), obesity (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and overweight (25< BMI <30 kg/m2) were associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer (relative risk [RR] for EBW=1.62, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39-1.89; for obesity RR=2.54, 95% CI, 2.11-3.06; for overweight RR=1.32, 95% CI, 1.16-1.50). Subgroup analyses showed that the positive associations were independent of study design, geographic locations, self-reported BMI, alcohol use, smoking habit, history of diabetes, hormone therapy, age at menarche, age at menopause, parity, and age at first full term pregnancy. However, there was no statistically significant association between EBW and endometrial cancer risk for measured BMI (for EBW RR=1.29, 95% CI, 0.66-2.53). Conclusions The findings from this meta-analysis strongly support that the conditions of EBW, overweight, and obesity are all associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer. Also, the strength of the association increases with increasing BMI.

ObjectivesPolymorphisms in base excision repair (BER) genes are associated with risk for several types of cancers but have not been studied with respect to endometrial cancer among Japanese women. Therefore, we conducted a case-control study to explore the association between polymorphisms in BER genes and the risk for endometrial cancer.Methods/MaterialsThis study included a total of 91 postmenopausal subjects with endometrial cancer and 261 controls without cancer who visited the Aichi Cancer Center between 2001 and 2005. We focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms within coding regions of 5 BER genes (OGG1,MUTYH,XRCC1,APEX1, andPARP1). To assess lifestyle in the etiology of endometrial cancer, we used a self-administered questionnaire. Associations were evaluated using multivariate unconditional logistic regression models. We also assessed whether there were intergenic associations or an interaction with obesity.ResultsWe observed a significant association between endometrial cancer risk andXRCC1rs1799782 (C > T, Arg194Trp) andXRCC1rs25487 (G > A, Arg399Gln). We uncovered a significant association between obesity (body mass index, ≥25) and rs25487. TheXRCC1polymorphisms were in complete linkage disequilibrium, and theXRCC1haplotype TG associated significantly with endometrial cancer risk. The interaction between the CA haplotype and body mass index was marginally significant, whereas interaction between haplotype inXRCC1and rs1136410 (PARP1) was not significant.ConclusionsWe found a significant association between endometrial cancer risk andXRCC1polymorphisms and haplotype TG in postmenopausal Japanese women.
