Uterine Cancer

The uterus is often referred to as the womb. Uterine cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system. It usually occurs after menopause in women 50 to 60 years old. It can spread to the cervical canal, fallopian tubes, ovaries, areas surrounding the uterus and the lymph system. If cancer reaches the lymph system, it can travel to other parts of the body.

When uterine cancer is discovered in the early stages, almost 90% of women who have it live at least five years after diagnosis, and most are cured.

Symptoms

Abnormal bleeding from the uterus is the most common symptom. One out of every three women who experience bleeding after menopause has uterine cancer. Women are urged to see a doctor immediately if this occurs.

Causes and Risk Factors

These include:

  • Menopause that starts after age 52
  • Bleeding problems during menstruation
  • Never having had children
  • High levels of estrogen
  • Tamoxifen therapy
  • Being very overweight
  • High blood pressure
  • Having diabetes

Diagnosis

Options may include:

  • Taking a small sample of tissue to be examined under a microscope (biopsy)
  • Ultrasound
  • Computed tomography scan
  • Bladder exam
  • Barium enema
  • Bone and liver scans
  • X-rays

Treatment

In most cases, the uterus is removed surgically (called a hysterectomy). The doctor may order chemotherapy after surgery. More often, hormones are given to block the effects of estrogen.
