Adenocarcinoma of the Uterus

Adenocarcinoma of the uterus is a type of cancer that originates in the glandular cells of the inner lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. It is the most common form of cancer affecting this organ.

Common symptoms: the most common sign is abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after menopause or between periods; there may also be unusual discharge or pelvic discomfort.

When to see a doctor? Any bleeding outside of what is expected, especially after menopause, warrants a gynecological evaluation to study its cause.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologic oncologist is the professional focused on tumors of the female reproductive system, with the participation of the oncologist and, when required, the geneticist. Early detection and consulting a specialist when warning signs appear is the best way to protect your health.
