Clinical definition (Orphanet)
Carcinosarcoma of the corpus uteri is a rare, malignant, mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor of the uterine body composed of high-grade carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements. It may present with vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, abdominal pain and/or pelvic mass, with a polypoid tumor sometimes protruding through the cervical canal. Association with Tamoxifen therapy, long-term unopposed estrogen use and previous pelvic radiotherapy has been reported.

Research stages
Trial readiness signals
Where this condition sits on an open-data research pipeline — not how close a treatment is, and not medical advice. Empty stages often mean “not in these databases under this Mondo ID,” not “impossible.”

Biology
Genes and phenotypes
Gene–disease validity from GenCC, plus phenotypes and animal models joined from Monarch Initiative via Mondo ID — not a clinical diagnosis aid.
Do we know what causes it?
Not yet — the cause hasn't been pinned down in GenCC.
No strong gene–disease assertion joined for this Orphanet entity.

India — NPRD
Last verified 2026-07-26This ORPHAcode is not on our curated NPRD list (direct or Mondo-parent match). That does not decide clinical eligibility; families in India should ask a notified Centre of Excellence about current coverage.
Hand-curated for this project. ORPHAcode mappings are best-effort and may be incomplete or imprecise for umbrella categories. Parent (Mondo) matches mean the policy lists a broader category — confirm eligibility with a Centre of Excellence. Financial entitlements summarised from public policy statements and may change.

- No label/synonym collisions with other diseases in this corpus
- Publication count (5556) is extremely high with unknown/missing prevalence — treat as possible over-matching, not proven research intensity
