Endometrial Cancer is cancer that arises from the inner lining of the uterus, or the womb, called endometrium. There are also other cancers such as uterine sarcomas that arise from the uterus, but endometrial cancer is the most common, and its causes are unknown. Endometrial cancer tends to begin in the layer of cells that form the lining (endometrium) of the uterus, and it can also be called uterine cancer.
