Endometrial (Uterus) Cancer

 

Endometrial cancer also referred to as cancer of the Uterus is one of the most common forms of gynecological cancers to strike women. It occurs in the inner lining of the uterus (known as the Endometrium) - the most common form of cancer of the uterus).  Approximately 6000 women in the US die each year from this cancer - from the approximate 37000 who are diagnosed).

Diagnosis - early signs of this cancer are asymptomatic (no apparent signs) although unusual bleeding from the uterus may occur.  Other signs include painful urination, pelvic pain and pain during intercourse.  As the disease continues to develop there may be a loss of weight and changes in bowel routines.

Treatment - As with many cancers the form of treatment depends on the stage of cancer development.  Early detected cancers are usually treated with surgery.  As the cancer develops other forms of treatment may be required; such as radiation, hormone treatment or chemotherapy.
