What are the treatments for uterine cancer?

The treatment of uterine cancer is relatively mature at present. When friends are found to have uterine cancer, they must relax and receive treatment as soon as possible, because mentality also affects the effectiveness of treatment. The most common treatment method is surgical treatment in Western medicine.

Western medicine treatments for uterine cancer:

1. Atypical hyperplasia: If the biopsy shows mild atypical hyperplasia, it should be temporarily treated as inflammation, and follow-up scrapings should be performed every six months and biopsy should be performed if necessary. If the lesions persist, observation can continue. Patients diagnosed with moderate atypical hyperplasia should be treated with laser, freezing, and electric ironing. For severe atypical hyperplasia, total hysterectomy is generally recommended. If you urgently want to have a baby, you can also have regular and close follow-up after cone resection.

2. Carcinoma in situ: It is generally recommended to perform a total hysterectomy and retain both ovaries; some also advocate removing 1 to 2 cm of the vagina at the same time. In recent years, laser treatment has been used both at home and abroad, but close follow-up is required after treatment.

3. Microscopic early invasive cancer: generally, extended total hysterectomy and 1 to 2 cm of vaginal tissue are recommended. Because the possibility of lymph node metastasis of early invasive cancer under microscopy is extremely small, there is no need to eliminate pelvic lymphatic tissue.

4. Invasive cancer: The treatment method should be based on the clinical stage, age and general condition, as well as equipment conditions. Common treatments include radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy. Generally speaking, radiotherapy can be applied to patients at all stages; the surgical efficacy of stages Ib to IIa is similar to that of radiotherapy; cervical adenocarcinoma is slightly less sensitive to radiotherapy, and a comprehensive treatment of surgical resection plus radiotherapy should be adopted.
