Uterine fibroids are common, noncancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. Many women wonder how often fibroids become cancerous. In general, fibroids themselves are benign and do not typically turn into cancer. A rare type of cancer called uterine leiomyosarcoma can develop in the uterus, but it is not considered to result from an existing benign fibroid. Symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, abdominal discomfort, or changes in periods should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. USA Fibroid Centers provides evaluation and minimally invasive treatment options for women experiencing symptoms associated with uterine fibroids. https://www.usafibroidcenters.com/blog/do-fibroids-increase-cancer-risk/
