(carcinoma, endometrial, malignant) A malignant epithelial neoplasm arising from the lining of the uterine body cavity.

(endometrial cancer) Cancer that forms in the tissue lining the uterus (the small, hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman's pelvis in which a fetus develops). Most endometrial cancers are adenocarcinomas (cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids).

A carcinoma of the endometrium, the mucous lining of the uterus.

A malignant tumor arising from the epithelium that lines the cavity of the uterine body. The vast majority of endometrial carcinomas are adenocarcinomas; squamous cell and adenosquamous carcinomas represent a minority of the cases. Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most frequently seen variant of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Uterine bleeding is an initial clinical sign. The prognosis depends on the stage of the tumor, the depth of myometrial wall invasion, and the degree of differentiation.

Endometrial cancer is usually endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Typically, postmenopausal vaginal bleeding occurs. Diagnosis is by biopsy. Staging is surgical. Treatment requires hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and, in high-risk patients, usually pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy. For advanced cancer, radiation therapy,...

Corpus cancer is the most frequently occurring female genital cancer. Approximately 47,100 cases of corpus cancer were predicted to occur in the United States in 2012, making it the fourth most common cancer among women; of these women, approximately 8,000 will die from the disease.

Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the uterus. The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped pelvic organ where fetal development occurs.
