Endometrial Cancer
 
Cancer of the lining of the uterus (or womb) is called endometrial cancer. You can increase the chances that endometrial cancer will be found early by having any unusual bleeding checked by your doctor right away. Endometrial cancer can almost always be treated successfully if it's caught early.

Risk Factors
Certain things may put you at greater risk for getting endometrial cancer, one being age. Women who have never been pregnant and women who use a medicine called tamoxifen may also be at greater risk.

Diagnosis & Tests
Endometrial cancer can be diagnosed by using endometrial biopsy or by dilatation and curettage (D&C) of the uterus. Both procedures can be effective.
