Interesting idea, but there are a lot of alternate answers. For example, Endometrial cancer is one of the two types of Uterine cancer, etc.

funny...I thought about that specific example when I made the quiz...but I figured NCI took that into account in not calling it "uterine cancer."

Good idea for a quiz - would you be able to add 'leukaemia' as an acceptable answer (UK spelling), also possibly 'bowel' as alternative for colon/rectal?

I'm an endometrial cancer survivor, and my health care givers often call it uterine cancer, but notated it in my medical records as endometrial carcinoma. The uterine cancer which affects the muscle is far less common than the endometrial type. So, I would say, accept 'uterine' as an alternate answer.

@Jen - sure...no problem :) @Anne - sure...I'll leave the endometrial cancer as the answer that shows up, but put in uterine as an alternate. Best of health!
