📋Overview
Endometrial cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. It is the most common gynecologic cancer in developed countries. The term 'endometrial cancer' is preferred over older or less specific terms such as uterine cancer, which can refer to other uterine malignancies. This cancer primarily affects postmenopausal women but can occur in younger adults. It typically presents with abnormal uterine bleeding and is often diagnosed at an early stage due to symptomatic presentation.
