What is Endometrial cancer?
Endometrial cancer also known as uterine cancer occurs in the uterus. It begins in the layer of cells that form the lining (endometrium) of the uterus. Endometrial cancer is often detected at an early stage because it frequently produces abnormal vaginal bleeding. If left untreated, endometrial cancer can spread to the bladder or rectum, or it can spread to the vagina, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and more distant organs.
