Dr. Vandana Jain, Senior Consultant & Head of Department – Gynaecologic Oncology, RGCIRC, highlights the link between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and an increased risk of endometrial cancer due to hormonal imbalances, irregular ovulation and prolonged oestrogen exposure. She explains how regular physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity, support weight management and reduce metabolic risk factors associated with cancer. Dr. Jain recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly, alongside a balanced diet, regular health monitoring and timely medical consultation for menstrual irregularities, emphasising that exercise supports long-term PCOS management but does not eliminate cancer risk
