Cervical cancer affects the lowest portion of the uterus and is associated with the risk factor of being born to mothers treated with DES during their pregnancy. DES is not a risk factor associated with vulvar or breast cancers. Endometrial cancer occurs in women who take estrogens without the addition of progesterone for 5 or more years during and after menopause.
