  • Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus in women. It is commonly referred to as uterine cancer, but other types of cancer do develop in the uterus, though much less often.

    Endometrial cancer is most often diagnosed in women who went through menopause but can be diagnosed in younger women too. It is most often found in the early stages, when the disease is most treatable.
