Jillian L. Waid

Uterine cancer, also known as endometrial cancer, is a significant health concern affecting women worldwide. This abstract provides an overview of uterine cancer, highlighting its epidemiology, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options. Uterine cancer primarily originates in the lining of the uterus, the endometrium. It is the most common gynecological malignancy in developed countries, with an increasing incidence over the past decades, particularly among postmenopausal women.
