Stage IIIC2: The cancer has spread to the para-aortic lymph nodes with or without spread to the regional pelvic lymph nodes. Stage IVA: The cancer has spread to the mucosa of the rectum or bladder. Doctors also describe this type of cancer by its grade G. The grade describes how much cancer cells resemble healthy cells when viewed under a microscope. The doctor compares the cancerous tissue with healthy tissue. Healthy tissue usually contains many different types of cells grouped together.
If the cancer appears similar to healthy tissue and has different cell groupings, it is called "differentiated" or a "low-grade tumor. In general, the slower the spread, the better the prognosis.
Recurrent cancer is cancer that has come back after treatment. Uterine cancer may come back in the uterus, pelvis, lymph nodes of the abdomen, or another part of the body. If there is a recurrence, this tends to occur within 3 years of the original diagnosis, but later recurrences can sometimes occur as well. If there is a recurrence, more testing will help to determine the extent of the disease. You and your doctor should talk about treatment options. This is discussed more in the next section of the guide.

Posted in endometrial cancer , prognosis , staging ; Comments 1 ; Posted 10 months ago by Andreas Obermair Endometrial cancer arises from the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. Stage 1 is divided into two categories: 1A: The cancer is limited to the inner lining of the uterus endometrium or has spread less than halfway into the muscle layer myometrium.
Stage 3 is subdivided into the following: Stage 3A: Cancer is in the outer layer of your uterus or the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Stage 3B: It has spread to the tissues around the uterus or vagina. Stage 3C1: The cancer has spread outside of the uterus and to the lymph nodes of the pelvis. Stage 3C2: Cancer cells are inside the body of the uterus and the lymph nodes of the higher aorta.
Stage 4 IV : Cancer has spread to the urinary bladder, rectum, or organs located far from the uterus, such as the lungs or bones, or to lymph nodes in the groin. This is referred to as metastatic or advanced cancer and has two subcategories: Stage 4A: The cancer has spread to the inner lining of the bladder or rectum, and may or may not have spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Stage 4B: The cancer has spread to the upper abdomen—the fat that supports your lower abdomen the omentum —or to distant organs away from the uterus such as your lungs, liver, and bones. It may have spread to the groin lymph nodes. Types of Endometrial Cancer Type 1 endometrial cancers are typically slow growing and often detected before they spread to other parts of the body.
