Uterine cancer:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Uterine enlargement, and persistent and unusual premenopausal bleeding, or any postmenopausal bleeding, are the most common indications of uterine cancer. The discharge may at first be watery and blood-streaked, but it gradually becomes more bloody. Other signs or symptoms, such as pain and weight loss, don't appear until the cancer is well advanced.

Malignant spinal neoplasms:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Extramedullary tumors produce symptoms by pressing on nerve roots, the spinal cord, and spinal vessels; intramedullary tumors, by destroying the parenchyma and compressing adjacent areas. Because intramedullary tumors may extend over several spinal cord segments, their symptoms are more variable than those of extramedullary tumors.
The following clinical effects are likely with all malignant spinal cord neoplasms:
❑Pain — Most severe directly over the tumor, radiates around the trunk or down the limb on the affected side and is unrelieved by bed rest. It may worsen when lying down or with straining, coughing, or sneezing. Pain can be diffuse, occurring over all extremities. Generally, it progressively worsens and isn't relieved by medication.
❑ Motor symptoms — Asymmetric spastic muscle weakness, decreased muscle tone, exaggerated reflexes, and a positive Babinski's sign. If the tumor is at the level of the cauda equina, muscle flaccidity, muscle wasting, weakness, and progressive diminution in tendon reflexes are characteristic.
❑ Sensory deficits — Contralateral loss of pain, temperature, and touch sensation (Brown-Séquard's syndrome). These losses are less obvious to the patient than functional motor changes. Caudal lesions invariably produce paresthesias in the nerve distribution pathway of the involved roots.
❑Bowel and bladder symptoms — Urine retention is an inevitable late sign with cord compression. Early signs include incomplete emptying or difficulty with the urine stream, which is usually unnoticed or ignored. Cauda equina tumors cause bladder and bowel incontinence due to flaccid paralysis.

Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Uterine Cancer:
Uterine cancer usually occurs after menopause. But it may
also occur around the time that menopause begins. Abnormal
vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of uterine cancer.
Bleeding may start as a watery, blood-streaked flow that
gradually contains more blood. Women should not assume that
abnormal vaginal bleeding is part of menopause.
A woman should see her doctor if she has any of the
following symptoms:
These symptoms can be caused by cancer or other less
serious conditions. Most often they are not cancer, but only a
doctor can tell for sure. (Source: excerpt from What You Need To Know About Cancer of the Uterus: NCI)
