Progesterone and Cancer

Progesterone can boost one’s health with its anti-cancer properties. There is increasing evidence that this powerful hormone can help protect against one of the most deadly diseases in the world:
1. In the uterus, progesterone stops the growth of abnormal tissues. [71]
2. In obese and postmenopausal women, progesterone deficiency increases risk for endometrial cancer, suggesting that healthy levels of progesterone exerts anti-cancer properties. [72-76]
3. In women with uterine enlargement and cysts, progesterone supplementation is beneficial in treating abnormal tissue growths. [77-93]
4. In patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, progesterone treatment displays beneficial effects. [94-98]
5. Progesterone treatment combats cancer by inhibiting cell growth and invasion. [99-101]
6. Progesterone inhibits the growth of breast cancer cells by fighting inflammation. [102-103]
7. In rats, progesterone inhibits the growth of tumors through multiple pathways. [104]
