The endometrium is the lining of the uterus. Endometrial cancer most often occurs after the reproductive years, between the ages of 60 and 70.
Endometrial cancer is sometimes called uterine cancer, but there are other cells in the uterus that can become cancerous — such as muscle or myometrial cells. These form much less common cancers called sarcomas and account for less than 5 percent of uterine cancers.
Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common cancer found in women — after breast cancer, lung cancer and colon cancer.
