What Are the Treatments for Cancer of the Uterus Lining?
Uterine cancer, also known as endometrial cancer, is a kind of cancer marked by the uncontrollable division and growth of the cells of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). Endometrial cancer can develop at any age; however, women attaining menopause are often considered to be at an elevated risk. According to the American Cancer Society, uterine cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting the female reproductive organs in America, with nearly 43,000 new cases being diagnosed annually. Excessive vaginal bleeding after menopause or during periods is an early symptom.
