Biopsy
A biopsy is a medical test commonly performed by a surgeon, an interventional radiologist, or an interventional cardiologist.

Carcinosarcoma
Carcinosarcomas are malignant tumors that consist of a mixture of carcinoma (or epithelial cancer) and sarcoma (or mesenchymal/connective tissue cancer).
See Uterine sarcoma and Carcinosarcoma
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is a cancer arising from the cervix or in the any layer of the wall of the cervix. Uterine sarcoma and Cervical cancer are Gynaecological cancer.
See Uterine sarcoma and Cervical cancer
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen.
See Uterine sarcoma and Chemotherapy
Connective tissue
Connective tissue is one of the four primary types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.
See Uterine sarcoma and Connective tissue
CT scan
A computed tomography scan (CT scan; formerly called computed axial tomography scan or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body.
See Uterine sarcoma and CT scan
Dilation and curettage
Dilation (or dilatation) and curettage (D&C) refers to the dilation (widening or opening) of the cervix and surgical removal of sections and or layers of the lining of the uterus and or contents of the uterus such as an unwanted fetus (early abortion before 13 weeks), remains of a non viable fetus, retained placenta after birth or abortion as well as any abnormal tissue which may be in the uterus causing abnormal cycles by scraping and scooping (curettage).
See Uterine sarcoma and Dilation and curettage
Endometrial stromal sarcoma
Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a malignant subtype of endometrial stromal tumor arising from the stroma (connective tissue) of the endometrium rather than the glands. Uterine sarcoma and endometrial stromal sarcoma are Gynaecological cancer.
See Uterine sarcoma and Endometrial stromal sarcoma
Endometrium
The endometrium is the inner epithelial layer, along with its mucous membrane, of the mammalian uterus.
See Uterine sarcoma and Endometrium
Hormone therapy
Hormone therapy or hormonal therapy is the use of hormones in medical treatment.
See Uterine sarcoma and Hormone therapy
Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and cervix.
See Uterine sarcoma and Hysterectomy
Hysteroscopy
Hysteroscopy is the inspection of the uterine cavity by endoscopy with access through the cervix.
See Uterine sarcoma and Hysteroscopy
Leiomyoma
A leiomyoma, also known as a fibroid, is a benign smooth muscle tumor that very rarely becomes cancer (0.1%).
See Uterine sarcoma and Leiomyoma
Leiomyosarcoma
A leiomyosarcoma, also known as LMS, is a rare malignant (cancerous) smooth muscle tumor.
See Uterine sarcoma and Leiomyosarcoma
Magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body.
See Uterine sarcoma and Magnetic resonance imaging
Menopause
Menopause, also known as the climacteric, is the time when menstrual periods permanently stop, marking the end of reproduction.
See Uterine sarcoma and Menopause
Mitosis
Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
See Uterine sarcoma and Mitosis
Mixed Müllerian tumor
A malignant mixed Müllerian tumor, also known as malignant mixed mesodermal tumor (MMMT) is a cancer found in the uterus, the ovaries, the fallopian tubes and other parts of the body that contains both carcinomatous (epithelial tissue) and sarcomatous (connective tissue) components.
See Uterine sarcoma and Mixed Müllerian tumor
Muscle
Muscle is a soft tissue, one of the four basic types of animal tissue.
See Uterine sarcoma and Muscle
National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) coordinates the United States National Cancer Program and is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is one of eleven agencies that are part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
See Uterine sarcoma and National Cancer Institute
Pap test
The Papanicolaou test (abbreviated as Pap test, also known as Pap smear (AE), cervical smear (BE), cervical screening (BE), or smear test (BE)) is a method of cervical screening used to detect potentially precancerous and cancerous processes in the cervix (opening of the uterus or womb) or, more rarely, anus (in both men and women).
See Uterine sarcoma and Pap test
Periaortic lymph nodes
The periaortic lymph nodes (also known as lumbar) are a group of lymph nodes that lie in front of the lumbar vertebrae near the aorta.
See Uterine sarcoma and Periaortic lymph nodes
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy or radiotherapy (RT, RTx, or XRT) is a treatment using ionizing radiation, generally provided as part of cancer therapy to either kill or control the growth of malignant cells.
See Uterine sarcoma and Radiation therapy
Sarcoma
A sarcoma is a malignant tumor, a type of cancer that arises from cells of mesenchymal (connective tissue) origin.
See Uterine sarcoma and Sarcoma
Smooth muscle
Smooth (soft) muscle is one of the three major types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the other being skeletal and cardiac muscle.
See Uterine sarcoma and Smooth muscle
Surgery
Surgery is a medical specialty that uses manual and instrumental techniques to diagnose or treat pathological conditions (e.g., trauma, disease, injury, malignancy), to alter bodily functions (i.e., malabsorption created by bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass), to reconstruct or improve aesthetics and appearance (cosmetic surgery), or to remove unwanted tissues (body fat, glands, scars or skin tags) or foreign bodies.
See Uterine sarcoma and Surgery
T2*-weighted imaging
T2*-weighted imaging is an MRI sequence to quantify observable or effective T2 (T2* or "T2-star").
See Uterine sarcoma and T2*-weighted imaging
Tamoxifen
Tamoxifen, sold under the brand name Nolvadex among others, is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used to prevent breast cancer in women and men.
See Uterine sarcoma and Tamoxifen
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz.
See Uterine sarcoma and Ultrasound
Uterine adenosarcoma
Uterine adenosarcoma is an uncommon form of cancer that arises from mesenchymal tissue of the uterus and has a benign glandular component. Uterine sarcoma and Uterine adenosarcoma are Gynaecological cancer.
See Uterine sarcoma and Uterine adenosarcoma
Uterine appendages
The uterine appendages (or adnexa of uterus) are the structures most closely related structurally and functionally to the uterus.
See Uterine sarcoma and Uterine appendages
Uterine fibroid
Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus, part of the female reproductive system.
See Uterine sarcoma and Uterine fibroid
Uterus
The uterus (from Latin uterus,: uteri) or womb is the organ in the reproductive system of most female mammals, including humans, that accommodates the embryonic and fetal development of one or more embryos until birth.
