Uterine and Endometrial Cancer

According to the American Cancer Society, there will be approximately 61,000 newly diagnosed cases and 11,000 deaths from cancer of the uterus this year, making it the most common type of cancer of the female reproductive system in the United States. Most uterine cancers begin in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) after menopause. Those cells in the lining that grow out of control and invade the muscle of the uterus are typically responsible for uterine cancer.
