Uterine or Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial cancer is the rapid and uncontrolled growth of cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It is also called uterine cancer. Endometrial cancer usually occurs in women older than 50. Most cases (77%) are diagnosed in the earliest stage, while cancer is still contained in the uterus and can be cured. When diagnosed at this stage, up to 93% of women are cancer-free 5 years after treatment.

The uterus can be the site of less common types of cancer, including uterine sarcoma and cervical cancer. This topic is about endometrial cancer.
