Uterine Cancer

Program Overview. At The Lacks Cancer Center at Saint Mary’s Health Care our cancer treatment programs are increasing hope everyday, thanks to a unique multidisciplinary model of care, which incorporates a staff of progressive physicians, and the most innovative technologies available. In addition to this model, we continually review and apply the latest anti-cancer drugs, the newest staging and imaging techniques—such as PET scan technology, and the most effective surgical procedures to ensure the best outcomes in the treatment of uterine cancer.

Uterine Cancer Overview. The uterus (womb) is made of muscle tissue surrounding a cavity, within which the fetus develops. This cavity is lined with tissue (endometrium) that is shed during the menstrual period. The most common gynecologic cancer is uterine cancer, with over 30,000 cases annually. 90% of these cases begin in the lining (endometrial carcinomas), the rest arise from the muscle and other supportive tissues (sarcomas).
