Compared to endometrial cancer, cervical cancer is less severe. Both cancers are serious malignant diseases of the uterus, and currently, there are no highly effective treatments for either cancer. If it is cervical cancer, the clinical prognosis is generally very good. However, if endometrial cancer has metastasized, the condition is relatively more serious, shortening the patient's lifespan and reducing their quality of life.
