	Dr. Koop - Uterine Cancer- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		Endometrial carcinomas arise from the glands of the lining of the uterus, the pear-shaped organ in the pelvis.
		From where it arises in the lining of the uterus, untreated endometrial carcinoma eventually invades the wall of the uterus and may involve the cervix.
		The standard therapy is an abdominal hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus) with removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries, selective removal of pelvic and aortic lymph nodes and washings from the abdominal cavity to look for malignant cells.

	Endometrial Carcinoma of the Uterus
		Simultaneous endometrioid carcinomas of the uterus and FT are unusual and occur primarily in obese perimenopausal women.
		Occludin expression decreased progressively in parallel with the increase in carcinoma grade, and the decreased occludin expression correlated with myometrial invasion and lymph node metastasis.
		In addition, two cases of mixed serous and clear cell carcinoma showed an identical mutation of the p53 gene in the histologically distinct components and one case of mixed clear cell and endometrioid carcinoma had identical mutations in the PTEN and p53 genes, and microsatellite instability in both components.

	USCAP 2003 Annual Meeting
		Secretory carcinomas should be distinguished on histological examination from other endometrial cancers with clear cells (Table 2) such as clear cell adenocarcinoma, which is composed of tumor cells that are polygonal and clear (without subnuclear vacuoles), flattened, or of hobnail type, and that usually contain higher grade nuclei.
		The distinction from papillary serous carcinoma rests on the recognition that the small nonvillous papillae occur in the background of an otherwise typical or villoglandular endometrioid carcinoma that lacks the typical cellular buds or classic slit-like spaces of serous carcinoma.
		The distinction of microglandular carcinomas from microglandular hyperplasia rests on the merging of the microglandular pattern with that of a typical endometrioid carcinoma and a degree of nuclear atypia and mitotic activity in the microglandular areas that exceed those allowable in microglandular hyperplasia.

		The uterus is located inside the pelvis immediately dorsal (and usually somewhat rostral) to the urinary bladder and ventral to the rectum.
		The main function of the uterus is to accept a fertilized ovum which becomes implanted into the endometrium, and derives nourishment from blood vessels which develop exclusively for this purpose.
		Due to anatomical barriers such as the pelvis, the uterus is pushed partially into the abdomen due to its expansion during pregnancy.

		The entity of minimal serous carcinoma of the uterus is now established in the pathology literature.
		The serous carcinoma demonstrated strong nuclear staining, contrasted with the benign endometrial glands and surface mucosa (Figure 5).
		Although the overall prognosis is excellent when the carcinoma is limited to the uterus, as many as 45% of the cases may be associated with extra-uterine disease.

	Endometrial Carcinoma - Patient UK
		Carcinoma of the endometrium is mainly adenocarcinoma arising from the lining of the uterus and is an oestrogen dependent tumour.
		This is distinct from carcinoma of cervix that is squamous cell carcinoma.
		Classically, endometrial carcinoma presents as postmenopausal bleeding and although this is not the only cause it must be excluded.

	Swedish 2002 - Gynecological Malignancies
		The majority of patients diagnosed with uterine carcinoma are at an early stage and thus have a definite survival advantage compared to other malignancies such as ovarian cancer.
		Additionally, a deeply invasive carcinoma that is greater that half of the myometrium carries with it the significant risk of pelvic periaortic node involvement and these patients should be fully staged with a surgeon who knows how to perform this procedure, such as a gynecologic oncologist.
		The risk for a woman to develop ovarian carcinoma in her lifetime is approximately 1.4 percent or 1 in 70.

		Carcinoma in situ is particularly known to precede invasive cervical cancer in most cases.
		Cervical carcinoma has a long T1 and a long T2 that render it relatively hyperintense on proton density–weighted and T2-weighted images (see Images 18-21), on which the SI of the tumor is approximately similar to that of the endometrium.
		Parametrial and rectal invasion by cervical carcinoma (same patient as Image 11) are depicted with CT as loss of definition of the cervical contours accompanied with masslike soft tissue that replaces the parametrial fat on the right and that extends into the anterior and right-sided rectal walls.

		You are looking at the cervix as you would see it on a speculum examination; note normal smooth squamous mucosa on the lower end, surrounding vaginal cuff removed with uterus and the ulcerated irregular area of the invasive carcinoma in the upper half of cervix.
		This carcinoma was confined to the endometrial lining i.e., did not invade the myometrium; prognosis is therefore good for a cure.
		Leiomyomas are firm white tumors with whorled patterns on their cut surfaces, such as the leiomyoma arising in the fundus of this uterus.

	Learn About Uterine Cancer: Sarcoma of the Uterus
		Sarcoma of the uterus, a very rare kind of cancer in women, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells start growing in the muscles or other supporting tissues of the uterus.
		Sarcoma of the uterus is different from cancer of the endometrium, a disease in which cancer cells start growing in the lining of the uterus (refer to the PDQ summary on Endometrial Cancer Treatment for information).
		Once sarcoma of the uterus has been found, more tests will be done to find out if the cancer has spread from the uterus to other parts of the body (staging).

		Uterus or womb in women is found in the lower abdominal region in between the rectum and the urinary bladder.
		The uterus is situated in the pelvis dorsal and typically to some extent rostral to the urinary bladder and to the rectum.
		Due to anatomical impediments like pelvis, the uterus is pressed to some extent hooked on to the abdomen due to the expansion of the organ associated with the pregnancy.

	Prognostic significance of positive peritoneal cytology in endometrial carcinoma confined to the uterus
		A retrospective analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic significance of peritoneal cytology in patients with endometrial carcinoma limited to the uterus.
		A total of 280 patients with surgically staged endometrial carcinoma that was histologically confined to the uterus were examined clinicopathologically.
		We concluded that the presence of positive peritoneal cytology is not an independent prognostic factor in patients with endometrial carcinoma confined to the uterus, and adjuvant therapy does not appear to be beneficial in these patients.
