Coffee, tea tied to lower uterine cancer risk

Women who drink a few cups of coffee and tea each day may have a lower risk of endometrial cancer, new study findings suggest.Endometrial cancer arises in the lining of the uterus. Some risk factors have been established -- including older age, obesity and factors that expose women to more estrogen, such as late menopause and estrogen therapy after menopause.Women who drank more than four cups of coffee and tea each day were only half as likely as non-drinkers to have endometrial cancer. Similarly, women who drank only tea -- more than two cups per day -- had a 44 percent lower risk of the disease.
