Preferred term

endometrial and uterine cancers  

Definition

  • The uterus consists of smooth muscle (the myometrium) overlaid by an endothelial gland-studded mucosal stroma that makes up the endometrial lining of the uterine cavity. The endometrial lining undergoes cyclic response to hormonal stimulation during monthly menstrual cycles and throughout pregnancy. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Endometrial and Uterine Cancers]
