What Is Womb Cancer?
Womb cancer, or cancer of the womb, is also known as uterine cancer or endometrial cancer. This type of cancer affects the womb, or uterus, and can begin in the lining, or endometrium, and sometimes in the myometrium, or muscles of the womb. Cancer that affects the myometrium is a different type of cancer called uterine sarcoma. Though womb cancer affects many women each year all around the world, it is considered a treatable form of cancer with a fairly high success rate if caught in the early stages.
