Uterine Cancer

Uterine Cancer Treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata

Uterine cancer is a gynaecological cancer that occurs when the cells in the uterus grow uncontrollably to form a tumour. Uterine cancer is mainly of two types. Endometrial cancer accounts for 95% of all cases and begins in the endometrium (lining of the uterus). Whereas, uterine sarcomas are rare and aggressive, developing in the myometrium (uterus muscle tissue). 

At Manipal Hospitals, we have a Centre of Excellence in gynaecological care, delivering the most advanced uterine cancer treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata. We ensure high success rates and faster recovery.

What are the symptoms of uterine cancer?

The symptoms of uterine cancer resemble those of other conditions, making accurate diagnosis crucial. The common symptoms of uterine cancer include:

  • Heavy flow, prolonged or change in periods

  • Vaginal bleeding between periods 

  • Vaginal bleeding before or after menopause

  • White or clear vaginal discharge with an unpleasant smell

  • Lower abdominal or pelvic pain

  • Rapid weight loss

  • Changes in bowel habits

  • Difficulty in urination

What are the causes of uterine cancer?

The exact cause of uterine cancer is unknown. Some mutations occur in the DNA of uterus cells that make them grow and multiply uncontrollably to form a mass of cells called a tumour.

But certain risk factors increase your chance of developing this cancer. These include older age, lifestyle, family history, obesity, diabetes, late menopause, early menstruation, not getting pregnant, and other ovarian diseases. In addition, Radiation Therapy to your pelvis, Oestrogen Replacement Therapy and use of tamoxifen increase your risk.

How is uterine cancer diagnosed?

Our oncologist will confirm the diagnosis using the following steps:

  • Ask about your symptoms, family history, and risk factors 

  • Perform a pelvic examination

  • Ask to undergo blood tests to measure CA-125 protein

  • Conduct imaging tests, like CT scans, MRI scans, and transvaginal ultrasound

  • May need other tests like Endometrial Biopsy, Hysteroscopy, and Dilation and Curettage (D&C) to confirmthe  diagnosis

Our expert surgeons will evaluate your case carefully before recommending Endometrial Cancer Surgery in EM Bypass, Kolkata. 

How is uterine cancer treated?

The treatment plan will differ based on the type of cancer and your overall health. These include:

  • Surgery: This is usually the first line of treatment for endometrial cancer to remove the tumour and uterus. 

  • Chemotherapy: The treatment uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells.

  • Radiation Therapy: Radiation beams are targeted to destroy cancer cells.

  • Hormone Therapy: This blocks or kills cancer cells that are dependent on hormones for growth

  • Immunotherapy: Boosts the immune system to fight cancer cells

  • Targeted Therapy: Medications are given to target specific cancer cells that stop their growth

Mostly, a combination of these treatments is used. At Manipal Hospitals, we understand each case individually to determine a personalised cancer treatment plan through a multidisciplinary approach. We are a trusted hospital for uterine cancer treatment in EM Bypass, Kolkata.

FAQ's

Uterine cancer can be either endometrial cancer or uterine sarcoma. However, most cases of uterine cancer are of the endometrial cancer type. So, the terms "uterine cancer" and "endometrial cancer" are used interchangeably.
 

A Pap test is an effective cancer screening tool to detect cervical cancer. However it cannot be used to diagnose uterine cancer. In case you are at a higher risk for uterine cancer, check with our oncologist.
 

If endometrial cancer is not detected at an early stage, it can lead to certain complications. These include anaemia, cancer spreading to other parts of the body, not responding well to treatment, and eventually death. We at Manipal Hospitals, EM Bypass, offer early detection using advanced diagnostic tools. 
 

Endometrial cancer is usually curable if detected early. We offer the most advanced Endometrial Cancer Surgery in EM Bypass, Kolkata, with high success rates. However, uterine sarcoma is aggressive and needs a Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (BSO) to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes along with the uterus and cervix. 
 

The likelihood of developing uterine cancer increases with age, with most of the people getting it after the age of 50. However, both younger and older women can develop this cancer, depending on individual risk factors.
