One sign of uterine cancer may be leg pain. Leg pain is not always a sign of uterine cancer, though. Leg discomfort can be caused by many reasons.
If uterine cancer grows and presses against the pelvic wall’s nerves, leg pain may result. This growth may occasionally result in edoema and limb pain. Leg pain or pressure might be a symptom of uterine cancer.

Treatment of Uterine Cancer
The age, overall health, tumour grade, and stage of the endometrial cancer patient all influence the course of treatment.
A doctor will talk with the patient about the available treatments and potential side effects before starting treatment.
Among the choices are:
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Hormone therapy.
