Suparna Das *
Cancer is a complex disease affecting various parts of the body and is the second most common global disease. Factors contributing to cancer development include lack of immunity, gene mutation, heredity, industrialization, pollution, lifestyle, and food habits. Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecological cancer in women, is the most common. India faces a double burden of malnutrition, with obesity rates of 6.2% among adult women and 3.5% among adult men. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle can help uterine cancer survivors. Keywords including "endometrial cancer," "diet," "nutrition," and "cancer diet" were utilized to search for open-access scholarly literature for the study presented herein. Apart from medication and care, proper diet planning is essential for endometrial cancer patients at any age. Poor lifestyles and diet are always responsible for any cancer. Moderate physical activity, bearing children, delayed menopause, and lutein-rich foods can protect against obesity, hyperinsulinemia, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes, which are often reported as comorbidities of cancer. Alcohol consumption may increase or reduce EC risk, but more evidence is needed for meta-analysis. Clinical trials support dietary and lifestyle changes, but more research is required. In conclusion, a proper antioxidant-rich diet is necessary to co-prescribe to any EC patient.
Keywords: Hyperinsulinemia, Endometrial cancer, Cervix, Prostate, Endometrial cancer
