Endometrial cancer originates in the uterus. The uterus is the concave, pear-
shaped pelvic organ in women where fetal growth happens.
Also known as Uterine cancer, endometrial cancer initiates in the sheets of cells
that form the lining (endometrium) of the uterus.
It
is usually an
adenocarcinoma .Other types of uterus cancer, including that of uterine
sarcoma, are not as common as endometrial adenocarcinoma.
Endometrial cancer is more often detected in an initial stage because it
recurrently produces anomalous vaginal bleeding, which prompts women to see
their doctors and get the uterus removed surgically thereby curing the cancer.

Changes in the Hormones Balance in Women: Ovaries produce two main
hormones — estrogen and progesterone. Imbalance in levels of these
hormones causes changes in the endometrium. A condition that increases
the levels of estrogen, but not that of the progesterone, can increase the risk
of endometrial cancer
More Years of Menstruation: Early menstruation or commencing menopause
at an later age can increase the risk of endometrial cancer
Never Been Pregnant: Women who have never conceived fall under the
higher risk category
Older Age: Older women who have undergone menopause are at a greater
risk to develop endometrial cance
