Is an enlarged uterus a sure sign of uterine cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: An enlarged uterus is not a "sure" sign of uterine cancer. The uterus can be enlarged for other reasons including fibroids. It is important to be evaluated by your doctor so that he/she can do a compete evaluation.

Enlarged uterus: Not at all. Your may have a uterine fibroid - a benign growth in the uterus. Of course, i assume you ruled our pregnancy. There are other causes of uterine enlargement, so it is best to follow up with your gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.
