Endometrial cancerPrevention & detection | Diagnostics & staging | Treatments | Our team | For physicians | Endometrial cancer home | Gynecologic cancer home Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer, occurs when cells divide and grow abnormally in the uterus and cause tissue damage. It is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system with about 40,000 new cases diagnosed annually, according to the American Cancer Society. A woman's lifetime chance of developing endometrial cancer is about 1 in 40. Almost all endometrial cancers are one of two kinds of adenocarcinomas that originate in the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus. Uterine sarcomas are cancers that begin in the myometrium, the muscular layer of the uterine wall, but they are less common.
Aurora physicians were the first in Wisconsin to perform robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery. And as principal investigators with the national Gynecologic Oncology Group, they make the latest cancer treatments available to patients through clinical trials.
