A common subtype is Endometrial Cancer, which develops when abnormal malignant cells grow from the endometrium (the inner lining of the uterus), but can also originate from the muscle and connective tissue. There are many different types of endometrial cancer; the most common type is endometrioid adenocarcinoma, which has a high cure rate because it is usually detected

At times, a hysteroscopy, x-ray, CT scan, PET scan, or MRI may be done to help confirm the diagnosis of the cancer and determine the best treatment.<\/p>\n<p>A physical and pelvic exam is usually the first step in diagnosing uterine cancer. Based on the results of the exam, your physician may recommend a pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound to get a better look at the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus. The ultrasound is also helpful in detecting endometrial polyps, measuring the thickness of the endometrium, and assisting your doctor in determining which tissue is optimum for the biopsy.<\/p>\n<p>A hysteroscopy might also be performed for closer examination of the uterus. Your doctor will insert a scope into your uterus and visualize the endometrium and uterus lining. If cancer is suspected, tissue will be removed from the uterine lining for biopsy. If the biopsy is inconclusive, a dilation and curettage (D&amp;C) may be performed to scrape tissue from the uterine lining and send it to the lab for testing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div

personalized one, based on your age, overall health, as well as the type, location, grade, and stage of the tumor. Uterine cancers are staged from I to IV, with Stage I cancer being the most localized and Stage IV indicating metastasis to distant organs. The grade indicates whether the cells resemble healthy tissue (low-grade tumor) or unhealthy tissue (high-grade tumor).<\/p>\n<p>Surgery is the most common treatment for uterine cancer. The type of surgery performed takes into account the stage and grade of the tumor as well as your family planning needs.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, uterine cancer can be treated with minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Our goal is to remove the tumor, as well as any lymph nodes, organs, or tissues which may be affected by cancer. Most times, a hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus and cervix, may be required \u2013 along with the ovaries, tubes, and lymph glands.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Following surgery, your physician may recommend radiation or chemotherapy to eradicate any remaining cancer cells. The advantage for patients being managed by a gynecologic oncologist is that because of subspecialized training, they can not only surgically remove the tumor, but also coordinate and administer chemotherapy treatment. The Center for Gynecologic Oncology offers a chemotherapeutic suite supervised by a chemotherapy nurse with more than 18 years of experience.<\/p>\n<p>If you have advanced-stage uterine cancer, options may include radiation therapy to manage pain or hormone therapy to inhibit cancer cell growth. These treatments have been found to significantly improve your quality of life.<\/p>\n<\/div><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-xlarge button-custom fusion-button-default button-1
