Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer starts in the inner lining of the uterus and can invade surrounding tissues if untreated.
Risk factors include age, hormonal imbalances, obesity, and family history. Early detection via imaging and biopsy allows for effective treatment, which may involve surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or hormonal therapy.
Causes and Risk Factors of Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer is influenced by hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle factors.
- Hormonal imbalance: Excess estrogen without progesterone can increase risk.
- Obesity and sedentary lifestyle may contribute.
- Family history: Inherited syndromes can raise susceptibility.
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation
Common signs include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, or unusual discharge. Early-stage cancer may show minimal symptoms, emphasizing the importance of regular checkups.
- Postmenopausal bleeding
- Pelvic discomfort or pain
- Unexplained weight loss in some cases
Treatment Options for Endometrial Cancer
Treatment varies based on cancer stage and patient health.
- Surgery: Hysterectomy with or without removal of lymph nodes.
- Radiotherapy: To destroy remaining cancer cells post-surgery.
- Chemotherapy or hormonal therapy: For advanced or recurrent disease.
