Endometrian / Uterine Cancer

Endometrian / Uterine Cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the lining of the uterus. The lining is called the endometrium. Endometrial cancer is also called cancer of the uterus, or uterine cancer.

Endometrial cancer usually occurs in women older than 50. The good news is that it is usually cured when it is found early. And most of the time, the cancer is found in its earliest stage, before it has spread outside the uterus.

Sarcoma of the uterus is different from uterine cancer. Uterine sarcomas comprise less than 1% of gynecologic cancer and 2% to 5% of all uterine cancers. Learn more about uterine sarcoma on National Cancer Institute's General Information About Uterine Sarcoma web page.
