Metastatic Endometrial Adenocarcinoma is a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the tissue of the endometrial
lining of the uterus and spread (metastasize) to distant parts of the body and other
organs including the cervix, vagina, ovaries, lymph nodes, urinary bladder, rectum,
bones, and lungs.
There are four stages of endometrial adenocarcinoma.
Stage I: The cancer is found only in the uterus or womb, and it has not spread to other parts
of the body.
Stage II: The tumor has spread from the uterus to the cervical stroma but not to other parts
of the body.
Stage III: The cancer has spread beyond the uterus, but it is still only in the pelvic area.
Stage IV: The cancer has metastasized to the rectum, bladder, and/or distant organs.
Endometrial cancer can recur (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may
come back in the uterus , the pelvis , in lymph nodes in the abdomen , or in other
parts of the body.
