Uterine Serous Carcinoma (USC)

Definition

Uterine serous carcinoma (USC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of endometrial cancer that originates in the uterine lining's glandular cells. It is characterized by its rapid growth and high likelihood of spreading to other parts of the body, making it more challenging to treat than other endometrial cancers.
