One method that is often used to classify the stages of endometrial cancer is the tumor, node and metastasis TNM system: T represents the size and location of the primary original tumor in the uterus.
N specifies whether the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes surrounding the uterus. M indicates whether the cancer has metastasized spread from the uterus to distant areas of the body. Once confirmed, this information is viewed collectively to establish the various endometrial cancer stages: Stage 1 stage 1 endometrial cancer Stage 1 endometrial cancer is confined to the uterus. Stage 1 endometrial cancer can be separated into two subcategories: Stage 1A — Cancer is found in endometrium—the innermost lining of the uterus—and may have spread slightly through the underlying layer of muscle, called the myometrium.
This is a precancerous lesion. This stage is not included in the FIGO staging system. Stage 1 uterine cancer: The cancer is only growing in the body of the uterus. It may also be growing into the glands of the cervix but is not growing into the supporting connective tissue of the cervix. The cancer has not spread to lymph nodes or distant sites. This stage has two subcategories:. Stage 2 uterine cancer: The cancer has spread from the body of the uterus and is growing into the supporting connective tissue of the cervix called the cervical stroma.
The cancer has not spread outside of the uterus. Stage 3 uterine cancer: The cancer has either spread outside of the uterus or into nearby tissues in the pelvic area. This stage has four subcategories:. Stage 4 uterine cancer has two subcategories:. How much do they differ? The grades suggest how likely the cancer is to spread and how quickly, and may help determine the best treatment plan for you.
Cancer may return after treatment. This is known as recurrent cancer. In some cases, it recurs in the same part of the body where it was originally discovered. Other times, it comes back elsewhere. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care. Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer.
The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary "Updated" is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Adult Treatment Editorial Board. A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory.
Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works.
If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard. Clinical trials can be found online at NCI's website. PDQ is a registered trademark.
