Uterine Cancer
What is uterine cancer?
Cancers that occur in each part of the uterus have their own names, such as cervical cancer or endometrial cancer, but are sometimes broadly defined as uterine cancer because the structure is part of the uterus. Cancer of the uterus spreads through the bloodstream or lymphatic system and is the most common cancer of the female reproductive tract. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), about 40,880 cases of cancer of the uterine corpus (body of the uterus) will be diagnosed in the US during 2005.
