About Uterine Cancer

Uterine cancer treatment, managed by a Gynecologic Oncologist, involves a comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat cancers of the uterus, primarily endometrial cancer. The cornerstone procedure is often a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which is the surgical removal of the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Depending on the cancer's stage and type, this may be combined with a pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection to check for spread. For advanced cases, cytoreductive (debulking) surgery may be performed. These procedures are frequently followed by tailored treatments like radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy. A Gynecologic Oncologist's specialized training ensures precise staging, optimal surgical outcomes, and a coordinated, personalized treatment plan to maximize survival and quality of life.

Key Highlights

Performed by a specialist with advanced training in both gynecology and cancer surgery.Allows for precise surgical staging, which is critical for determining the most effective后续 treatment.Can be performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy/robotics) for eligible patients, leading to less pain and faster recovery.Aims for complete tumor removal (cytoreduction) to improve the effectiveness of other therapies.Provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treatment planning and follow-up care.

Who is this surgery for?

Diagnosis of endometrial cancer or uterine sarcoma confirmed by biopsy.
Abnormal uterine bleeding, especially postmenopausal bleeding, with suspicious findings.
Pre-cancerous conditions of the endometrium (atypical hyperplasia) that are high-risk or do not respond to hormonal therapy.
Staging of known uterine cancer to determine the extent of disease spread.
Treatment of recurrent uterine cancer.
Risk-reducing surgery for individuals with very high genetic risk (e.g., Lynch syndrome).

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation, including imaging (CT, MRI, or PET scan) and blood tests.
Detailed discussion with the Gynecologic Oncologist about the surgical plan, risks, and alternatives.
Bowel preparation may be required for some extensive surgeries.
Fasting for 8-12 hours before the procedure as per anesthesia guidelines.
Adjustment or temporary cessation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
Arranging for support and help at home during the initial recovery period.

Risks & possible complications

General surgical risks: Reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, infection, and blood clots.
Injury to nearby organs such as the bladder, ureters, or intestines.
Formation of scar tissue (adhesions) which can cause pain or bowel obstruction.
Early menopause (if ovaries are removed), leading to symptoms like hot flashes and bone density loss.
Lymphatic complications like lymphedema (swelling in the legs) after lymph node removal.
Rare risks include fistula formation (abnormal connection between organs) and nerve damage.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically lasts 1-5 days, depending on the surgical approach (open vs. minimally invasive).
Pain is managed with medications; walking is encouraged soon after surgery to aid recovery.
Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kg), strenuous activity, and sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks.
Follow a balanced diet and stay hydrated to prevent constipation.
Care for the incision site as instructed, watching for signs of infection.
Attend all follow-up appointments for wound checks, pathology review, and planning of any additional treatments like radiation or chemotherapy.

PATIENT REVIEW

Arjun Chopra, a 58-year-old architect and...

Arjun Chopra, a 58-year-old architect and father of two, had been experiencing persistent, watery vaginal discharge for months, which he initially dismissed as a minor infection. As a transgender man who had not undergone lower surgery, he felt deep discomfort discussing gynecological issues. When post-menopausal bleeding began, his primary care doctor, aware of his history, urged him to see a specialist. Dr. Evans, a gynecologic oncologist, recommended an immediate endometrial biopsy, which revealed Grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma. Arjun felt a profound sense of betrayal by his own body and fear about accessing care in a system not always welcoming to trans patients. Dr. Evans recommended a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, performed robotically. The surgery was successful, and final pathology showed the cancer was Stage IA, confined to the uterus, requiring no further treatment. Physically, Arjun recovered well within six weeks. Emotionally, the journey was complex. Before, he grappled with dysphoria, fear, and stigma. After, while mourning the loss of an organ that felt incongruent with his identity, he felt overwhelming relief and a renewed sense of safety. The empathetic, affirming care from his medical team was crucial to his healing.
