Expert Cancer Treatment – Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial Cancer / Uterine Cancers are uncontrolled growths arising from the inner lining of the body of the uterus. It is more common in elderly and post menopausal women. Dr Ashish Goel Director Surgical Oncology at Jaypee Hospital Noida talks about diagnosis and management of Endometrial Cancer.

What is Endometrial Cancer:

Cancer that starts in the uterus is called endometrial cancer. The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped region in the pelvis where the baby grows.

Endometrial cancer starts in the endometrium, which is the layer of cells that lines the inside of the uterus. Cancer of the endometrium is sometimes called cancer of the uterus. Uterine sarcoma is another type of cancer that can form in the uterus, but it is much less common than endometrial cancer.

Endometrial cancer is often caught early because it often causes unusual bleeding in the uterus. If uterine cancer is caught early, removing the uterus through surgery can often cure it.

  • Vaginal bleeding after menopause

  • Pelvic pain
