Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium.
Risk factors for endometrial cancer include obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes, as well as certain inherited genetic conditions.
Uterine cancer refers to the cancer that affect the Uterus and endometrial cancer only refers to the cancer that starts in the lining of uterus that is endometrium.

Another type of cancer that can affect the uterus called uterine sarcoma, which is a rare type of cancer that begins in the muscles or other supporting tissues of the uterus.
The main difference between endometrial cancer and uterine cancer is the location of the tumor within the uterus.
Endometrial cancer affects the lining of the uterus, while uterine sarcoma develops in the muscles or other tissues of the uterus.
Recent scientific research has found that chemical hair straighteners and other similar hair relaxer products may pose an increased risk of endometrial cancer, uterine cancer, breast cancer, and other health problems.

The National Institute Of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a division of the National Cancer Institute, conducted a health study for more than a decade called the “Sister Study“, which originally looked at risk factors for breast cancer.
Published in October 2022, “Hair straightening chemicals associated with higher uterine cancer risk” found that women who reported frequent use of hair straightening products, defined as more than four times in the previous year, were more than twice as likely to go on to develop uterine cancer compared to those who did not use the products.
Scientific studies linking hair straightener products to the risk of developing uterine cancer include:
Research has found that black women tend to suffer at higher rates from uterine cancer compared to white women.
According to the Resilient Sisterhood Project, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness on the reproductive health of black women, black women are significantly more likely than white women to have advanced stages of uterine cancer and to have more aggressive tumor types (clear cell, serous, high-grade endometrioid, and malignant mixed Mullerian tumors).
The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology conducted a study on the mortality rates of endometrial cancer, finding an increased risk for black women to suffer from aggressive forms of uterine cancer.
Their study identifies two reasons for this risk:
Black women use chemical hair straighteners and hair relaxers at much higher rates than white women and also at much earlier ages.
More research is necessary on the disproportionate uterine cancer rates in black women compared to white women.
If you or a loved one used hair straightening chemicals and were subsequently diagnosed with uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, breast cancer, or other health conditions, you may be eligible to file a claim.
