Uterine CancerUterine cancer is a Women’s Health topic that we should all be aware of, as it is the fourth most common cancer among women. Any time cancer originates within the uterus, it can be called uterine cancer. The uterus is a pear-shaped organ found within a woman's pelvis (area below the stomach and between the hip bones). The uterus can also be called the womb. When a woman is pregnant, the uterus houses the baby until he/she is born.

Endometrial cancer is the most common type of uterine cancer. It occurs in the lining of the uterus, or the endometrium.

All women are at risk of getting uterine cancer. The exact causes of uterine cancer are unknown, but there are certain risk factors to take into consideration.
