Endometrial cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is one of its important warning signs, particularly after menopause.
Early evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate treatment planning are essential for women diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Dr. Sarika Gupta, a gynecologic cancer specialist in Delhi, provides personalized evaluation and treatment planning for women with endometrial cancer.
Endometrial cancer develops when abnormal cells in the lining of the uterus begin to grow uncontrollably. Different types and grades of endometrial cancer can occur, and treatment depends on the specific characteristics and stage of the disease.
Common symptoms may include:
Abnormal bleeding does not always mean cancer, but persistent or unusual bleeding should be medically evaluated.
The first step in endometrial cancer care is establishing an accurate diagnosis. Depending on the symptoms and clinical findings, evaluation may include:
The biopsy and pathology findings help determine the type and grade of cancer, while imaging and other investigations help assess the extent of disease.
Treatment for endometrial cancer depends on the stage, grade, tumor type, molecular characteristics, and overall health of the patient.
Depending on the individual case, treatment may include:
A personalized treatment plan is developed based on the patient's diagnosis and cancer characteristics.
Surgery is a key treatment for many women with endometrial cancer, particularly when the cancer is localized.
The surgical procedure may involve removal of the uterus and cervix, along with the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Depending on the cancer stage and risk characteristics, assessment or removal of lymph nodes may also be recommended.
The exact extent of surgery is determined after evaluating the patient's pathology, imaging, and overall clinical condition.
For appropriately selected patients, minimally invasive surgery may be used to treat endometrial cancer. This can include laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery.
These techniques use small incisions and specialized instruments. Potential benefits for suitable patients may include:
However, robotic or laparoscopic surgery is not suitable for every patient. The choice of surgical technique depends on the stage and extent of cancer, tumor characteristics, previous surgery, and overall health.
Dr. Sarika Gupta carefully evaluates each patient before recommending the most appropriate surgical approach.
Some women may require additional treatment after surgery based on the cancer's stage, grade, pathology, and other risk factors.
Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal treatment, targeted therapy, or other systemic treatments may be considered when clinically appropriate.
A multidisciplinary approach may be recommended when treatment involves multiple cancer specialists.
Dr. Sarika Gupta focuses on gynecologic oncology and advanced gynecological cancer surgery, providing individualized treatment planning for women diagnosed with endometrial cancer.
During consultation, patients can discuss:
The treatment approach is selected according to the patient's individual diagnosis rather than using the same treatment for every patient.
