Endometrial cancer starts when cells in the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus) start to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other parts of the body. The uterus is a hollow organ, normally about the size and shape of a medium-sized pear. The uterus is where a fetus grows and develops when a woman is pregnant. It has 2 main parts: The upper part of the uterus is called the body or the corpus. The cervix is the lower end of the uterus that joins it to the vagina. Endometrial cancer (also called endometrial carcinoma) starts in the cells of the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium). This is the most common type of cancer in the uterus. Endometrial carcinomas can be divided into different types based on how the cells look under the microscope. They include: Adenocarcinoma (most endometrial cancers are a type of adenocarcinoma called endometrioid cancer ), Uterine carcinosarcoma or CS, Squamous cell carcinoma, Small cell carcinoma, Transitional carcinoma Serous carcinoma.
