Endometrial Cancer Care in Portland-Vancouver

Endometrial cancer, also called uterine cancer, is a gynecologic cancer that forms in the tissue lining the uterus (the small, hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman’s pelvis in which a fetus develops). Most endometrial cancers are adenocarcinomas or cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids.

You can review other important information about diagnosing endometrial cancer, staging the disease, and endometrial cancer treatment options below, or you can request a consultation with an endometrial cancer specialist at one of our cancer centers in Portland, Tigard, and Vancouver, where they can answer questions specific to your individual situation.
