New research indicates that low serum vitamin D may be associated with an increased incidence of endometrial cancer

The November 16, 2007 issue of the journal of Preventive Medicine reported an association between high levels of vitamin D in the blood (serum levels) and a reduced risk of endometrial cancer. Two previous investigations have already linked a lower rate of kidney and ovarian cancer with high serum vitamin D.

Along with other preventive measures, vitamin D adequacy should be considered as part of a comprehensive program for the prevention of endometrial cancer.
