The most common type is endometrial cancer, which originates in the lining of the uterus. Another, rarer form is uterine sarcoma, which develops in the muscular wall of the uterus.<\/p>\n<p>Endometrial cancer is the most frequently diagnosed type of uterine cancer and typically affects women over the age of 45, especially after menopause. Early detection is crucial, as it greatly increases the chances of effective treatment and long-term survival.
