What You Need to Know about Endometrial Cancer

Introduction

Cancer of the uterus is the most common cancer of the female reproductive tract. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has written this booklet to help women with cancer of the uterus and their families and friends better understand this disease. We hope others will read it as well to learn more about cancer of the uterus.

Words that may be new to readers appear in italics. Definitions of these and other terms related to uterine cancer can be found in the Glossary. For some words, a "sounds-like" spelling is also given.

This booklet discusses symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It also has information about resources and sources of support to help women cope with cancer of the uterus.
