About Uterine Cancers

There are many types of uterine cancer and this fund covers any cancer occurring in the uterus. There are two main groups of uterine cancer:

Endometrial cancer – cancer that begins in cells lining the uterus. When cancer forms in the lining or mucus-secreting glands of the uterus, it is referred to as endometrial cancer. The majority of cancers of the uterus are endometrial cancers. Endometrial cancers may include but are not limited to the following types and alternative names: endometrial carcinoma, endometrial adenocarcinomas, uterine carcinomas, uterine carcinosarcomas, uterine adenocarcinomas, epithelial malignant neoplasms or malignant mixed mesodermal tumors.

Uterine sarcoma – cancer that begins in muscle or other tissues in the uterus. Uterine sarcoma forms in the muscle, connective tissue or supportive tissues of the uterus.

Types of uterine sarcoma are:

Uterine leiomyosarcoma – cancer that affects smooth muscle tissue. These tumors are most common in the abdomen, but can occur anywhere in the body, including the uterus.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma – starts in the connective tissue that supports the endometrium (endometrial stroma). Additional uterine sarcomas may include but are not limited to the following types and alternative names: carcinosarcoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, undifferentiated sarcoma, adenosarcoma, adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth, perivascular endothelial cell tumor (PEComa), mesenchymal tumors, undifferentiated endometrial sarcomas, smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential; Müllerian adenosarcomas, carcinofibromas, adenofibromas, and adenomyomas, uterine carcinosarcoma, mixed mesodermal tumor, uterine papillary serous carcinoma, and clear cell carcinoma.

" The appropriate place to start is to express my appreciation for your participation in my cancer fighting efforts. Upon hearing the expected cost of the [prescribed cancer fighting therapy] my immediate thought was that cancer would be a contributing cause of my death since that level of expenditure would never fit into a retired teacher’s budget. Therefore please accept my sincere thanks… "

" This is the second year that your foundation has been so gracious and generous to grant me financial assistance for the co-pays associated with my multiple myeloma…Thank you so much for your gift, support and assistance. God Bless. "

James | Multiple Myeloma

" The impact has been lifegiving. Without your financial assistance, I would not have had the resources to afford the treatments that I need. We have talked with a number of people on your staff, and everyone has been helpful and professional, and most importantly, has seemed genuinely interested in my well-being. I am grateful beyond words. "

" … I live on a fixed income and need to spend a big portion of my income for medicine in order to maintain my health … I tried very hard to control my budget for medicine. Due to high cost of living now I have a hard time supporting myself … thanks to the great PAF I was approved to have a fund to help … then I felt the cord holding my neck tightly being released a lot. PAF is helping poor patients, including me. PAF is doing an excellent job with professionalism … PAF changed my life for the better, thank you. "
