Endometrial cancer is referred to as the abnormal cell growth in the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. While typically diagnosed in postmenopausal women, this cancer variant can affect women of all ages.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain and other symptoms of endometrial cancer can help you and your healthcare provider diagnose endometrial cancer. Your healthcare provider may leverage medical history scrutiny, physical examinations, and imaging studies to offer a comprehensive diagnosis. Understanding risk factors, such as hormonal imbalances, obesity and other aspects can help you prevent and manage endometrial cancer efficiently.
Treatment modalities, including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy, for endometrial cancer are customized to the cancer’s stage and type.
Endometrial cancer is primarily categorized into two types:
the most common, is estrogen-dependent and associated with endometrioid histology, often detected at an early stage with a favorable prognosis.
less common, is estrogen-independent and linked to non-endometrioid histology, presenting at advanced stages with a poorer outcome.
The exact causes of endometrial cancer that occurs due to abnormal growth of cells in the endometrium is yet to be clear. However, certain health conditions, lifestyle choices and other environmental factors may pose as high-risk factors.
Endometrial cancer, when detected early, offers better chances for successful treatment.
Stage I: Limited to the Uterus
Stage II: Involvement of Connective Tissues
Stage III: Spread to Pelvic Area
Stage IV: Advanced Spread
Treatment approaches may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or a combination, tailored to the individual’s specific circumstances.
Treatment plans are highly individualized, considering the specific characteristics of the cancer and the patient’s overall health.
