Uterine Cancer Treatment

Uterine Cancer Treatment

Uterine cancer, also known as endometrial cancer, is a type of cancer that begins in the uterus, the organ in a woman’s pelvis where a baby grows during pregnancy. It is the most common cancer of the female reproductive system. Uterine cancer primarily affects the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, hence the name endometrial cancer.

Types of Uterine Cancer:

1. Endometrial Carcinoma: This is the most common type, making up about 95% of cases. It begins in the cells of the endometrium.
2. Uterine Sarcoma: This is a rare form of uterine cancer that develops in the muscles or other tissues that support the uterus.

Symptoms:

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, especially postmenopausal bleeding.
• Pelvic pain or pressure.
• Pain during intercourse.
• Unexplained weight loss.

Risk Factors:

• Age: Most uterine cancers occur in women who are postmenopausal, typically between the ages of 50 and 60.
• Obesity: Excess body fat can increase estrogen levels, which raises the risk.
• Hormone Therapy: Estrogen therapy without progesterone can increase risk.
• Reproductive History: Never being pregnant, or having fewer pregnancies, increases risk.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Women with PCOS have a higher risk due to hormonal imbalances.
• Genetic Factors: Conditions like Lynch syndrome can increase the risk.

Diagnosis:

• Pelvic Exam: A physical examination to check for abnormalities.
• Ultrasound: To look for abnormalities in the uterus.
• Endometrial Biopsy: Taking a tissue sample from the lining of the uterus for examination.
• Dilation and Curettage (D&C): A surgical procedure to remove tissue for testing.

Treatment:

• Surgery: Often involves a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and may include removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
• Radiation Therapy: High-energy rays are used to target and kill cancer cells.
• Hormone Therapy: Used to lower hormone levels or block their effects.
• Chemotherapy: Drugs that kill cancer cells or stop them from growing.
• Targeted Therapy: Drugs that target specific aspects of cancer cells to stop their growth.

Prognosis:

Early detection of uterine cancer generally leads to a favorable prognosis, with a high survival rate. However, the prognosis can vary depending on the stage at diagnosis, the type of cancer, and the patient’s overall health.

Regular gynecological check-ups and prompt attention to abnormal symptoms can aid in early detection and treatment.
