Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer starts in the lining of the uterus and commonly presents with abnormal vaginal bleeding.
Recognizing changes
Any bleeding after menopause needs assessment. Unusual or persistent bleeding before menopause should also be discussed, especially when the pattern has changed.
Diagnostic assessment
The clinician may recommend ultrasound and sampling of the uterine lining. Tissue examination is important to establish a diagnosis and guide further investigation.
Planning treatment
A gynecological oncology team considers the type and extent of cancer, health and individual priorities. Surgery and other treatment may be discussed through an appropriate referral pathway.
This information supports a discussion with your doctor. Suitability, availability and any specialist referral should be confirmed with the hospital. Individual care plans and outcomes vary.
