The most common treatment for the disease is a total hysterectomy. But a study in the Annals of Oncology finds that IUDs may stop and even reverse the cancer growth.
Italian researchers implanted IUDs in 34 women with a precursor for endometrial cancer. Two years out none of the women were cancer free but researchers say the IUD was effective in postponing a hysterectomy long enough for women to have children.
