The uterus is a hollow and pear-shaped organ in the pelvic area, located between the bladder and the rectum and covered by a tissue called the endometrium. The endometrium is made every month in the uterus, which is removed from the body during menstruation. Also, there are two tubes on both sides of the uterus, which are known as fallopian tubes. The task of these tubes is to release eggs and guide them into the uterus for fertilization. In the cervix, if there are abnormal cells that grow abnormally, uterine cancer occurs. This cancer can be treated if detected early. Ultrasound is one of the common methods for imaging the internal parts of the body. Among the applications of this treatment method, we can mention the diagnosis of uterine cancer. Cervical cancer is one of the most curable cancers. The necessary condition for the treatment of this cancer is to detect it on time and in the early stages. According to the report of the American Cancer Society, the higher the screening rate with pap smear tests, the lower the mortality from cervical cancer. Regular Pap smear tests are one of the most important and effective prevention methods to detect cells at risk of becoming cancerous. Getting the HPV vaccine and doing regular pap smear screenings can help you reduce the risk of cervical cancer.

Breast cancer, which is caused by rapid and abnormal growth of cells in the breast, is a complex disease in which many factors can be involved. Some factors such as age, family history, genetics and gender are not under the control of the individual. However, a person can control other factors such as smoking, physical activity, proper weight and diet to prevent breast cancer. Some researchers believe that diet can be responsible for 30-40% of all cancers. This study raises an interesting point in research to identify breast cancer risk by focusing on estrogen- or progesterone-enhancing chemicals. However, without in vivo studies, it is premature to attempt to make a definitive connection. A multifaceted approach is necessary to fully understand the role that chemicals play in the development of breast cancer. According to Dr. Truss, this should include all data from cell studies, animal studies, and human observations. The human body is [also] very complex, and studying one piece of the puzzle individually may be very different than what happens when all the pieces are put together, said Dr. Lauren Truss. Dr. Gramley added: "Even if the findings are interesting, we can't take it and apply it to humans." Evaluating the effects of these chemicals on humans is still challenging and most of them have not been studied enough. So we expect more care to be taken in interpreting observations of chemically induced changes in breast tissue, Rudel said. A new cell culture study joins the list of research investigating the link between environmental chemicals and breast cancer. Although this is a bold and premature claim, the paper overlaps with what experts currently believe. A new study suggests that certain synthetic chemicals can increase the risk of breast cancer by stimulating hormones.
