Uterine Cancer (Endometrium Cancer)
The most common gynecological cancer type in women with a high success rate with early diagnosis
Uterine cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the endometrium lining the lining of the uterus. It is caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of cells. The most common form is endometrioid adenocarcinoma. It usually manifests itself with postmenopausal bleeding and early detection is completely curable.
Symptoms of Uterine Cancer
Vaginal bleeding after menopause (most common symptom)
Menstrual irregularities (in women of reproductive age)
Bleeding or spotting after sexual intercourse
Watery, foul-smelling vaginal discharge
Pelvic (lower abdominal) pain or feeling of pressure
Unexplained weight loss
Burning during urination or frequent urination (advanced stage)
Every postmenopausal bleeding should be investigated for uterine cancer.
Risk Factors
- Postmenopausal age (especially over 50)
-Long-term exposure to the hormone estrogen (not giving birth, early menstruation / late menopause)
- Obesity and insulin resistance
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Family history of uterine, ovarian or colon cancer
- Long-term use of estrogen without supplemental progesterone
- Lynch syndrome (genetic predisposition)
Diagnosis Process
- Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS): Endometrium thickness is assessed
- Endometrial biopsy: A pathologic diagnosis is made by taking a tissue sample from inside the uterus
- Hysteroscopy: Examination of the uterus with a camera and sampling of the suspicious area
-CT/MR imaging: For tumor invasion and staging
- Tumor markers such as CA-125: May be supportive during follow-up
Staging
- Stage I: Cancer is confined to the uterus (most common and best prognosis)
- Stage II: Spread to the cervix
- Stage III: Spread to surrounding tissues or lymph nodes
- Stage IV: Metastasis to bladder, bowel or distant organs
