The Boston researchers were not sure how cigarettes might prevent uterine cancer, but they speculated it could have something to do with lowering estrogen secretions.

Dr. Brian MacMahon of Harvard has found that women who smoke produce less estrogen during one phase of their menstrual cycle. The researchers said that understanding how smoking affects the risk of the disease "might be useful in the development, of strategies for preventing endometrial cancer." The study, directed by Dr. Samuel M. Lesko of the Boston University Drug Epidemiology is the fifth in recent years to suggest a statistical link between smoking and a lower risk of uterine cancer.

Phw: 4294604 SEE es BOSTON (AP) Older women who smoke heavily may actually lower their risk of cancer of the uterus, possibly because cigarettes reduce their estrogen secretions, a faew study suggests. But the researchers caution that the dangers of smoking far outweigh any potential benefits.

"The significance of this is the lead that it provides for potentially understanding the cause of endometrial cancer," said Dr. Harvey Fineberg, dean of the Harvard School of Public Health. "To consider smoking in order tc decrease your risk of uterine cancer is like looking for a gas leak with a lighted match. It would be foolish," he added in an interview. "There's, no basis for any relaxation of our fervor to help people stop smoking." The study found that the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus, or endometrium, is lower than usual among heavy smokers who have passed menopause.
