June is Uterine Cancer Awareness Month

Uterine cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy in many regions of the world, and awareness campaigns during June seek to promote earlier diagnosis, improved outcomes and greater understanding of both endometrial cancer and the rarer uterine sarcomas.

To support continuing professional education in this important area, GLOWM is highlighting a growing collection of resources within the Continuous Textbook of Women's Medicine.

Recently published chapters include:

• Endometrial Cancer Pathology – review of the pathology, molecular classification and staging of endometrial cancer, highlighting genomic subtypes, biomarker testing and updated FIGO guidelines to improve diagnosis, prognostication and individualized treatment.

• Management of Uterine Sarcoma – comprehensive guide to uterine sarcoma management, emphasizing accurate diagnosis, subtype-specific treatment, avoidance of morcellation, and multidisciplinary care in specialist centers to optimize outcomes. Listen to some of the highlights of this chapter in the accompanying audio discussion.

These complement existing educational content, including: • Ultrasound Features of Endometrial Pathology • Ultrasound Differentiation of Malignant Myometrial Tumors, Including STUMP and Sarcoma

Coming soon:
• Endometrial Cancer: Surgical Aspects
• Endometrial Cancer: Systemic Treatment

Together, these chapters will provide healthcare professionals with comprehensive coverage of uterine malignancies, spanning imaging, pathology, surgery, systemic therapy and multidisciplinary management.

Explore the Gynecological Cancer and Ultrasound in Gynecology volumes of the Continuous Textbook of Women's Medicine to access these resources, and stay informed as new content is published.
