Patient's question:
I have vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. I went for a check-up and was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. I would like to ask, how is endometrial cancer treated?Doctor's answer:
As long as the patient's physical condition can tolerate it, surgical treatment should be understood at the earliest opportunity. Surgery can provide accurate diagnosis and staging of the disease. For patients with endometrial cancer, although most have undergone dilatation and curettage (D&C), the error rate in pathological type and mitotic rate between D&C specimens and specimens obtained after hysterectomy is as high as 20%. These indicators are directly related to further postoperative treatment and prognosis. Therefore, accurate clinical diagnosis and staging treatment are the basic guarantees for determining appropriate treatment. Otherwise, it is highly likely to lead to excessive or insufficient treatment.
