This cancer grows in the lining of the uterus. Bleeding after menopause is the biggest warning sign. Dr. Bruce Semo at Irys Medical Center finds it fast with ultrasound and biopsy. Early Help Saves Lives.
It starts in the endometrium — the soft lining inside your uterus that thickens every month for pregnancy.
When cells in this lining grow out of control, it becomes cancer. It’s also called uterine cancer.
