L’endomètre est le tissu qui tapisse la paroi intérieure du corps de l’utérus, la partie de l’utérus où se déroule la grossesse. Un cancer de l’endomètre se développe à partir d’une cellule de l’endomètre initialement normale qui se transforme, puis se multiplie de façon anarchique jusqu’à former une masse appelée tumeur. 2, record 2, French, - cancer%20de%20l%27endom%C3%A8tre
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La majorité des cancers du corps de l’utérus se développent à partir de l’endomètre. Pour cette raison, les termes cancer du corps de l’utérus et cancer de l’endomètre sont souvent utilisés comme synonymes. Les cancers du corps de l’utérus sont le plus souvent des carcinomes, c’est-à-dire qu’ils prennent naissance à partir des cellules constituant l’épithélium de l’endomètre. Il existe d’autres formes, beaucoup plus rares, comme les sarcomes et les léiomyosarcomes qui apparaissent respectivement dans le tissu conjonctif de l’endomètre et dans le myomètre. 2, record 2, French, - cancer%20de%20l%27endom%C3%A8tre
