Patient's question:
I am 40 years old and have recently been experiencing abdominal and lower abdominal pain. Is it necessary to have radiotherapy and chemotherapy after early surgery for endometrial cancer?Doctor's answer:
After early surgery for endometrial cancer, it may not be necessary to undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy, but this decision should be based on the findings observed during the surgery and the intraoperative pathology results. This is because the preoperative pathology examination and the intraoperative pathology findings may not always be consistent, making it uncertain whether further radiotherapy or chemotherapy is required. For patients with endometrial cancer, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is essential to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
