What is uterine cancer?

Uterine cancer is cancer of the uterus. The most common type of cancer relating to the uterus starts in the lining of the uterus (endometrium), leading to endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States. Most cases are caught in stage 1 with a good survival rate (90% at 5 years). Risk factors include age (majority occur after age 40), history of PCOS or irregular menstrual cycles, high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Any vaginal bleeding after menopause should be investigated to rule out uterine cancer.

Symptoms of uterine cancer

  • Abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late

  • Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause

  • Need to strain/exert to pass urine

Questions your doctor may ask to check for uterine cancer

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose uterine cancer

  • Do you have abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late

  • Have you had vaginal bleeding, brown or pink colored vaginal discharge outside of your periods? Or, after the menopause?

  • Do you have difficulty passing urine?

Treatment for uterine cancer

A specialist will confirm the diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan. Options may include surgery to remove the uterus, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these.
