Uterine cancer is the most common type of the female reproductive system. It is largely classified into: Endometrioid adenocarcinoma, serous adenocarcinoma, carcinosarcoma and adenosquamous carcinoma. Endometrial cancer originates in the lining of the uterus and accounts for over 90% of cases. Most cancers begin in the cells lining the uterus (endometrium) and rarer forms develop within the muscle of the uterine wall (uterine sarcoma).
The primary treatment is surgery, which may be performed as open surgery, minimally invasive laparoscopy, or robotic surgery. The gynecologist determines whether chemotherapy or radiation is necessary and to what extent.
As one of the leading comprehensive centres for Cancer Care, we offer thorough annual checkup plans with expert gynecologists. It is advised for women over the age of 30 to get annual checkups and report any unexpected symptoms. Our multidisciplinary team uses sophisticated tests that can better identify the tumor characteristics and work cohesively to determine the best treatment approach.
