Endometrial/Uterine Cancers

RTT 341 Study Tool 

By Ivyonna McQuarter-Winfrey & Krista Zubek
Across
A drug used to treat breast cancer. Increases risk for uterine cancer
Used as a form of protection but also lowers the risk for endometrial cancer
Causes the endometrium to thicken
A biopsy that involves scraping tissue from inside the uterus
70% relative 5-year survival rate
A hollow organ, the size of a pear, 2 parts of the uterus (cervix & corpus), 3 layers
Lowers risk, increases progesterone
Increased growth of endometrium
Tumor marker that indicates endometrial and ovarian cancer
Higher mortality rate for uterine cancer in this race
<50% of normal looking glands. Called high grade or undifferentiated. Aggressive and poorer prognosis.
Tumors have 95% or more normal looking glands (well differentiated)
Uterus + cervix + parametrium & uterosacral ligaments and upper part of the vagina
A drug used during chemo, also known as Adriamycin
Caused by excess estrogen, not very aggressive, slow to spread, Grades 1 &2
The inner most layer (mucosa layer) of the uterus
Down
Increased production of this hormone increases risk for uterine cancer
A common surgery carried out if tumor has spread to the omentum
A race more commonly effected by uterine cancer
A biopsy that involves inserting an ultrasound probe into the vagina
Unusual bleeding, spotting or other discharge are signs of endometrial and this cancer
18% relative 5-year survival rate
Based on how similar the cancer cells look to normal glands
Other than external iliac, internal iliac, and common iliac, these nodes are also commonly involved
Not estrogen driven, Grade 3, grow and spread outside of the uterus, poorer outlook, doctors treat more aggressively
A medical term defined as never had children, resulting in a higher risk for uterine cancer
Causes the innermost layer of the endometrium to shed
The most common GYN malignancy of the female reproductive organs
50 to 94% of normal looking glands (intermediate differentiated)
