Uterine Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Uterine cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the uterus, most commonly in its lining, known as the endometrium. It is one of the more common cancers affecting women, and is often detected early due to noticeable symptoms.

Symptoms

Abnormal vaginal bleeding, particularly after menopause, is the most common symptom. Other signs include pelvic pain, unusual vaginal discharge, and pain during urination or intercourse.

Causes

Risk factors include obesity, hormonal imbalances, prolonged exposure to estrogen without progesterone, family history, and certain genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome. Age and never having been pregnant may also increase risk.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis typically involves a pelvic examination, transvaginal ultrasound, and an endometrial biopsy to examine tissue from the uterine lining for abnormal cells.

Treatment

Treatment commonly includes surgery, often combined with radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or chemotherapy depending on the stage. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, offers thorough, personalised care for women diagnosed with uterine cancer.
