Patient's question:
In the past few weeks, I've noticed that my family member's mental state isn't very good, and their complexion is always pale. They seem to eat less than before, always saying they don't feel like eating, giving off a lifeless vibe. It makes us very worried. What are the common factors that can lead to endometrial cancer?Doctor's answer:
Hello, endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that occurs again in the endometrium, mostly adenocarcinoma, with a high incidence age of 58-61 years. The cause is not very clear, and it is mostly found near the uterine angles. Symptoms: The main manifestation is postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. Dilatation and curettage (D&C) is the most commonly used and reliable method for diagnosing endometrial cancer. Treatment includes surgery, radiotherapy, and progesterone therapy. Chemotherapy is implemented for advanced-stage patients. The survival time is generally around 3-5 years. If any symptoms are noticed, it is better to undergo a thorough examination to confirm the condition and prevent missing the opportunity for treatment.
