Uterine cancer is primarily classified into two main types:
1. Endometrial Cancer
• Origin: Lining of the uterus (endometrium).
• Subtypes:
• Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma: Most common, linked to excess estrogen.
• Serous Carcinoma: Aggressive and fast-spreading.
• Clear Cell Carcinoma: Rare, with a poor prognosis.
2. Uterine Sarcoma
• Origin: Muscle or connective tissues of the uterus.
• Subtypes:
• Leiomyosarcoma: In the uterine muscle.
• Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma: In the connective tissue.
• Carcinosarcoma: Contains both carcinoma and sarcoma components.
Risk Factors
• Hormonal imbalance (excess estrogen).
• Age (postmenopausal women).
• Obesity.
• Genetic predispositions (e.g., Lynch syndrome).
• Diabetes, tamoxifen use, previous pelvic radiation.
Symptoms
• Abnormal vaginal bleeding/discharge.
• Pelvic pain or pressure.
• Unexplained weight loss.
• Pain during intercourse or urination.
Diagnosis
• Pelvic examination.
• Transvaginal ultrasound.
• Biopsy for confirmation.
Treatment often involves surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy depending on the type and stage of cancer.
