In fact, approximately 7,000 American women die from endometrial cancer each year.The National Cancer Institute says: "Uterine cancer usually occurs after menopause. Being obese and taking estrogen-alone hormone replacement therapy can increase your risk. Treatment varies depending on your overall health, how advanced the cancer is and whether hormones affect its growth. Treatment is usually a hysterectomy, which is surgery to remove the uterus. Other options include hormone therapy and radiation."The need to find effective ways to fight endometrial cancer prompted scientists in New Jersey to review and analyze previous research involving the disease. They looked at 12 studies that involved antioxidant vitamin intake and endometrial cancer and found that vitamins C and E and beta-carotene helped cut the risk of developing endometrial cancer.

In fact, the scientific community is so impressed with the importance of omega-3s that many scientists are now seeking a DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) for the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
