The term "womb" generally refers to the uterus during pregnancy. So cancers of the womb would include all cancers that affect the uterus. There are several types, all of which have specific names (eg, leiomyosarcoma).

Another type of cancer that might be associated with the term "womb" is a choriocarcinoma. Choriocarcinoma is a cancer of the placenta. It is relatively common in so-called "molar" pregnancies, specifically complete hydatidiform moles.
