A member asked:
In an older woman, where does endometrial cancer typically spread in the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymph nodes: Endometrial cancer typically spreads first by invading the muscle wall of the uterus, and then spreading through the lymph system to the nearby lymph nodes in the pelvis. Spread outside the uterus is relatively rare in most forms of endometrial cancer.
