Some women who experience menopause early—before age 40—have an increased risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer, according to research being presented Monday at ENDO 2024, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting.
Breast and ovarian cancers are two of the most significant health concerns affecting women globally. Breast cancer originates in the breast tissue, primarily in the ducts or lobules, and is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells. It is the most common cancer among women worldwide, with risk factors including genetics, lifestyle choices, and hormonal influences. Ovarian cancer, although less common, is particularly deadly due to its late diagnosis. It begins in the ovaries, which are responsible for producing eggs and hormones, and can spread quickly to other parts of the body.
Recent studies have highlighted that early menopause may increase the risk of developing both breast and ovarian cancers, underscoring the need for awareness and early detection strategies.
Researchers started with the hypothesis that women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and their family members might be predisposed to reproductive or hormone-related cancers. POI occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40.
