The symptoms of uterine cancer may include abnormal vaginal bleeding (such as bleeding between periods or after menopause), pelvic pain or pressure, and difficulty urinating or having bowel movements. However, in the early stages, uterine cancer may not cause any symptoms.
The exact cause of uterine cancer is not fully understood, but risk factors include age (the risk increases as women get older), obesity, certain reproductive factors (such as never having children or starting menstruation at an early age), and certain medical conditions (such as diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome).
Treatment for uterine cancer may include surgery to remove the uterus and other affected tissues, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these treatments. The choice of treatment depends on the stage and severity of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health and other factors.
The prognosis for uterine cancer depends on the stage and severity of the cancer, as well as the patient's age and overall health.
