Approximately 2,100 women in the Czech Republic are diagnosed with uterine cancer annually, with around 400 fatalities each year. A significant number of these deaths may be preventable, according to gynecologist Michael Halaška of the Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University. Beyond genetics and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), obesity is a crucial factor in the development of this dangerous disease. The increasing rates of obesity within the country are therefore contributing to a rise in uterine cancer cases. Experts emphasize the importance of addressing obesity as a preventative measure against this form of cancer. Early detection and lifestyle changes are vital for improving patient outcomes and reducing mortality rates.
