Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a constant bloating in my lower abdomen. Other than that, I haven't felt any other discomforts, but after the examination, I was surprised to find out that I had ovarian cancer. I'm still young, and my child is very young. I really don't want to end my life like this. I have a friend who has endometrial cancer and I don't know what methods to use for treatment. How is endometrial cancer treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Endometrial cancer must be detected, diagnosed, and treated early. To achieve early detection and diagnosis, a detailed understanding of its symptoms is necessary. As long as the patient's condition can tolerate it, surgical treatment should be considered immediately. The advantages of surgical treatment are as follows: 1. Surgery can provide accurate diagnosis and staging of the disease. Although most endometrial cancer patients undergo dilatation and curettage (D&C), the error rate between the D&C specimens and the specimens after hysterectomy can be as high as 20% in terms of pathological type and mitotic grade. These indicators are directly related to further postoperative treatment and prognosis.
