There are two types of uterine cancer: endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma. Symptoms can include bleeding after menopause, or between periods, and treatment often consists of a hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus.
Endometrial cancer develops in the inner lining of your uterus, or endometrium. Endometrial cancer is one of the most common of the gynecologic cancers.
Uterine sarcoma develops in the muscle wall of your uterus, or the myometrium, and is rare.
