Uterine cancer treatments

The best treatment for uterine cancer is to remove the limb itself, along with the floppy tubes and ovaries, which is a surgical procedure. This process can sometimes be combined with radiation therapy or hormone therapy to make sure that all cancer cells are killed on the spot. Of course, this also depends on the stage of the cancer.

 

Uterine cancer treatment for postmenopausal women

Removal of the uterus means that the person can no longer become pregnant. Younger women who have not yet reached menopause may be reluctant to have their uterus and ovaries removed because they may want to have children in the future.

In these cases, uterine cancer can sometimes be treated with hormone therapy under certain conditions.

 

Advanced uterine cancer treatment

Advanced uterine cancer usually requires a different treatment, which often involves a higher percentage of chemotherapy.

Keep in mind that advanced cancers may not be curable, but treatments can help improve living conditions and reduce symptoms by slowing the growth and spread of tumors and reducing the size of tumors.

 

Uterine cancer surgery

Surgery is often the mainstay of treatment for uterine cancer. But the choice of the best treatment depends on the individual condition of the patient.

 

Surgery in stage 1 uterine cancer

If you have stage 1 uterine cancer, you will probably need to have hysterectomy. In this surgery, in addition to the uterus, both the ovaries and fallopian tubes may be removed. The surgeon may also take a sample of lymph nodes in the pelvis, abdomen, and other nearby organs and send them to the lab to make sure the cancer cells have not spread to surrounding areas.

After surgery to remove the uterus, you can be released from the hospital after 1 to 3 days and return home. But a full recovery may take several weeks.

 

Stage 2 and 3 surgery for uterine cancer

If the cancer has reached stage 2 or 3, that is, the cancer cells have also spread to the cervix or pelvic lymph nodes, you will probably need to have a complete hysterectomy, or complete removal of the uterus.

It also involves removing the cervix, in the upper part of the vagina, and removing the pelvic lymph nodes. You may also need radiation or chemotherapy after surgery to minimize the risk of the cancer coming back.

 

Advanced stage surgery (metastasis) of uterine cancer

If you have advanced cancer of the uterus, surgery will try to remove the cancer cells and lumps as much as possible. This operation is also called mass reduction surgery.

At this stage, surgery can not cure uterine cancer, but it can relieve some of the symptoms and problems it causes. The specialist will decide if surgery is right for you at this stage of the cancer.

 

Radiation therapy for uterine cancer

If medical staff think that there is a risk of recurrence of pelvic cancer, they recommend the use of radiation therapy.

Radiation therapy can also be used to slow the growth of cancer in the body, even when surgery is not possible.

Radiation therapy also has several side effects. For example, the skin in the treated area may become red and sore after the procedure, and hair may fall out. Pelvic radiotherapy can also affect the intestines and cause diarrhea. In addition, with the continuation of the radiotherapy process, the patient is more likely to get tired.

Most of these side effects go away with radiation therapy, although about 5% of women experience long-term complications such as diarrhea and rectal bleeding.
