Guide About Endometrial/Uterine Cancer
What is Uterine Cancer? Endometrial cancer also called as 'Uterine Cancer' is cancer caused in the inner cavity of the uterus called 'endometrium.' The uterus is mainly divided into two parts i.e. the cervix which is connected to the vagina and the upper body or corpus. When we talk about endometrial cancer, we mainly talk about the upper body of the uterus. The endometrium is the spongy inner layer of the upper body of the uterus. When the cells of this layer begin to grow at an abnormal malignant rate, it causes endometrial cancer. But, one must remember that not all tumors are cancerous. Endometrial cancer is mainly caused due to obesity or high level of oestrogen hormone produced in the lining of the uterus. It is mainly diagnosed in a woman after she undergoes menopause. However, it can also occur at other stages of life too. Tags. uterus cancer treatment in India, uterine cancer treatment in India, uterus cancer treatment cos...
