Uterine cancers are mostly cancers of the endometrium, adenocarcinomas, usually hormone induced, mostly post-menopausal, no effective preventive or early detection strategy.

Uterine cancer: The cervix is the opening of the womb (uterus). Most uterine cancers are from the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). They are treated by different types of hysterectomy
