Uterine cancer. Coloured profile magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the pelvis of a 38-year-old woman,showing a large tumour (centre) in her uterus (womb). Malignant tumours include endometrial carcinoma,the most common cancer of the uterus,which usually occurs in women between 50-70 years old. They can be treated by removing the uterus and nearby organs. If the cancer has spread,radiotherapy and chemotherapy may also be used. Taking a synthetic form of the female sex hormone progesterone may also prevent the growth of secondary tumours. The base of the spine (running from top left to centre right) is also seen | |
