Endometrial Cancer (Uterine Cancer)

Uterine (Endometrial) cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer (i.e., cancer that originates in female reproductive system). it develops in the body of the uterus, or womb, which is a hollow organ located in the lower abdomen. The wall of the uterus is comprised of an inner lining (called the endometrium) and an outer layer of muscle tissue (called the myometrium).

Endometrial cancer (Uterine Cancer) is most common after the reproductive years, between the ages of 60 and 70. Endometrial cancer is sometimes called uterine cancer, but there are other cells in the uterus that can become cancerous — such as muscle or myometrial cells…

Causes of Endometrial Cancer (Uterine cancer)

Endometrial Cancer (Uterine cancer) seems linked to several predisposing factors : -

Abnormal uterine bleeding. Diabetes. Familial tendency. History of uterine polyps or Endometrial hyperplasia. Hypertension. Low fertility index and anovulation. Nulliparity. Obesity. Uninterrupted estrogen stimulation.

Diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer (Uterine Cancer)

1.     The doctor performs a pelvic exam, checking the vagina, uterus, ovaries, bladder, and rectum for Endometrial Cancer (Uterine Cancer). The doctor feels these organs for any lumps or changes in their shape or size. an instrument called a speculum is used to widen the vagina so the doctor can see the upper portion of the vagina and the cervix.

2.     The Pap test is often performed during a pelvic exam Endometrial Cancer (Uterine Cancer). The doctor uses a wooden scraper (spatula) or small brush to collect a sample of cells from the cervix and upper vagina. The cells are then sent to a medical laboratory to be checked for abnormal changes. Because uterine cancer begins inside the uterus, it may not show up on a Pap test, which examines cells from the cervix.

3.     A biopsy is necessary to help the doctor make a diagnosis. A biopsy can usually be done in the doctor’s place. In a biopsy, the doctor removes a sample of tissue from the uterine lining. In some cases, a woman may require a dilation and curettage (D&C), which is usually same-day surgery done in a hospital with anesthesia. during a D&C, the opening of the cervix is widened and the doctor scrapes tissue from the lining of the uterus. A pathologist examines the tissue to check for cancer cells, hyperplasia, or other conditions. after a D&C, women may have cramps and vaginal bleeding during healing.

Common Endometrial Cancer (Uterine Cancer) Symptoms

Abnormal bleeding- heavy bleeding between periods, or heavy bleeding during irregular periods. Pain during sexual intercourse. Pelvic pain or pain in the legs or back. Difficulty urinating or pain during urination. Enlarged uterus found upon medical exam. Vaginal discharge that can be thick or watery; pink or brown; and foul smelling.unexpected weight loss.

Medical Treatment of Endometrial Cancer (Uterine Cancer)

Hysterectomy in India : – almost all women with Endometrial cancer (except those with advanced or stage IV) are treated with a hysterectomy. they may also receive additional treatment…

Radiation therapy in India : – sometimes radioactive pellets are placed inside the body near the tumor. This is called brachytherapy or internal radiation therapy. Fatigue, upset stomach, diarrhea and nausea are also common complaints of women having radiation therapy…

Chemotherapy in India : – uses anticancer drugs to kill the cancer cells. The drugs are given orally or intravenously. they enter the bloodstream and can travel to all parts of the body to kill cancer cells…

Hormonal therapy : -uses drugs like progesterone that will slow the growth of Endometrial cells. These drugs are usually available as pills. This therapy is usually reserved for women with advanced or recurrent disease…
