A woman with her family

When healthy cells in the uterus change and grow out of control and form a mass or tumor, it is called uterine cancer. The uterus is the pear-shaped organ in a woman’s pelvis. It is also called the womb, where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. The most common type of uterine cancer is also called endometrial cancer because it forms in the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium.
