Patient's question:
My aunt has been menopausal for two years, but this month she experienced vaginal bleeding similar to menstruation. My aunt felt it was abnormal and went to the hospital for a thorough gynecological examination. The doctor confirmed it as early-stage endometrial cancer. After learning about this, we all became anxious for her, not knowing if she could be cured. How is endometrial cancer treated?Doctor's answer:
Endometrial cancer is mostly adenocarcinoma, which is not sensitive to radiotherapy. Therefore, treatment is primarily based on surgery, with comprehensive evaluation of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and other medications. Before surgery in the early stages, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can stabilize the patient's constitution and reduce their tolerance to surgery. After surgery, TCM can completely eliminate residual tumor lesions and promote the body's full recovery. When TCM is used in conjunction with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it can not only maximize the effectiveness of treatment but also reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.During the treatment of endometrial cancer, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
