About The Study: In this cohort study of female California educators, associations between drinking water trihalomethanes and uterine cancer overall and with endometrioid tumors specifically were consistent with findings from the only prior study, conducted in the midwestern U.S. Further investigation of drinking water contaminants as modifiable risk factors for this common gynecologic cancer is warranted.
