About the disease

Uterine cancers are defined as a cancer that starts in the uterus, the organ in a woman’s body where a baby grows during pregnancy. Uterine cancer happens when cells in the uterus grow out of control and form a tumor. Common warning signs can include unusual vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or changes in discharge, especially after menopause. Subtypes include endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma.
