Utrine Cancer

Were you looking for information about Uterine Cancer? Utrine cancer is a common misspelling of uterine cancer.

Uterine cancer occurs when cancerous cells first form in the uterus. In most cases, these cancerous cells develop in the lining (or endometrium) of the uterus, although they can also rarely form in the muscles or tissues supporting the uterus. While the cause of uterine cancer is unknown, researchers have identified certain factors that increase the risk of developing the disease. Some of these risk factors include taking tamoxifen for breast cancer, using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and being obese.
