Emmy Award winner Dixie Carter has died at age 70 from complications arising from endometrial cancer, a common type of uterine cancer. The actress passed away in a Houston hospital on Saturday, April 10th. Estrogen levels may play a role in the development of endometrial cancer. Other risk factors include early onset of menstruation (before age 12) or onset of menopause later in life, never having been pregnant, irregular ovulation such as in PCOS, obesity, a high-fat diet, diabetes, and history of breast or ovarian cancer, particularly after taking the drug tamoxifen. Surgery is the most common treatment for endometrial cancer, in most cases a hysterectomy. For more aggressive forms of cancer or if the cancer has metastasized, radiation and chemotherapy may also be used.
