Uterine Cancer
Uterine cancer includes cancers of the uterine lining and rarer tumors arising in other uterine tissues.
Seeking assessment
Unusual vaginal bleeding, particularly after menopause, should be investigated. Persistent pelvic symptoms also warrant discussion with a clinician.
Establishing the diagnosis
Examination, imaging and tissue testing help distinguish between different conditions. Endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma are not the same disease and may require different approaches.
Coordinated care
Treatment planning considers the exact diagnosis, extent of disease and general health. A specialist team should explain the options, expected recovery and follow-up requirements.
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.
