Patient's question:
Lower abdominal pain for a month, and recently some menstrual periods have been more frequent. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told I have endometrial cancer. I would like to understand what are the treatment methods for endometrial cancer?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of endometrial cancer is not very clear. Most authors believe that endometrial cancer has two types, possibly with two pathogenic mechanisms. The younger types occur under the long-term effect of estrogen without progesterone antagonism, leading to fibrotic changes in the endometrium and eventually resulting in carcinogenesis, but the tumors have a better proliferation rate. The general treatment methods for endometrial cancer include: surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, as well as the combination of different treatment methods. The formulation of treatment plans requires the classification and staging of the tumor for implementation.
