Yes. Cancer can occur in any organ, not just the uterus. Removing the uterus (ie, having a hysterectomy performed) means that the likelihood of developing a uterine cancer (eg, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer) is exceedingly low, but it does not mean that other cancers (eg, lung, colon, breast) cannot develop elsewhere.
