Article Excerpts about Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial Cancer: NWHIC (Excerpt)

Cancer of the endometrium, a common kind of cancer in women, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the lining of the uterus (endometrium). The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows during a woman’s pregnancy. Cancer of the endometrium is different from cancer of the muscle of the uterus (called sarcoma of the uterus). (Source: excerpt from Endometrial Cancer: NWHIC)
