Uterine Cancer Symptoms, Treatment ,Stages & Survival Rate Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lining of the womb and is the subject of this section. Lymph nodes are clusters of lymph nodes located around the womb. These glands are roughly the size of a bean. The lymphatic system includes lymph nodes. This is a system of glands located throughout the body that are connected by fine ducts through which a colourless fluid called lymph flows and works as a disease defence. Women who are still on their periods and use the contraceptive pill are thought to have a decreased risk of womb cancer. Women who have gone through menopause and have been using oestrogen-only HRT (hormone replacement treatment) for a long period may be at a slightly increased risk of acquiring the condition. If you are taking HRT and have not had their womb removed should make sure they are in-taking a mix of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone and not only oestrogen.
