There are two main types of uterine cancers: endometrial and uterine sarcoma. Uterine cancer is not to be confused with cervical cancer, which occurs in the cervix.
The most common uterine cancer is endometrial cancer which forms in the uterus lining.
Uterine sarcoma is a rare type of uterine cancer that forms in muscles and tissues of the uterus. Uterine sarcoma can be diagnosed further into uterine leiomyosarcoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma. The difference between these two is that uterine leiomyosarcoma starts in the wall of the uterus while endometrial stromal sarcoma starts in the connective tissue.
