Etiology

[Friedman2013] has presented a compelling model for the prevention and treatment of breast and prostate cancer. An important feature of this model is observation that synthetic (non-bio-identical) estrogens and progestins actually raise the risk of breast and prostate cancer. On the other hand, it appears [Go to cancer.govcancer.gov], synthetic hormones in oral contraceptives actually reduce the incidence of certain endometrial cancers [Emons2000].

The differences between different types of cancers require further study.

Treatment

Naturopathic, Complimentary and Alternative Treatments

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

[LDN_Cancer] reports that the late Dr. Bernard Bihari treated approximately 450 patients with some form of cancer, with a 60% success rate, almost all of who had failed to respond to standard treatments. Although Dr. Weyrich is not aware of any reports of treating endometrial cancer using LDN, Dr. Weyrich speculates that endometrial cancer may also respond to LDN.

Dr. Weyrich has been trained in the use of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). However, Dr. Weyrich has not treated any cases of endometrial cancer with LDN.

Please see What is Low Dose Naltrexone? for more information.
