What is Endometrial Cancer?
Endometrial cancer is cancer that starts in the tissues of the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus). The uterus is the small, hollow, muscular organ in a woman's pelvis where a baby grows). Most endometrial cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). Endometrial cancer is different from cancer that forms in the muscles of the uterus, which is called uterine sarcoma.
