Uterine cancer is caused by cancer.


Building a healthier future together.
Whether uterine cancer should be removed depends on a variety of factors such as the patient's age, fertility needs, type and stage of cancer. Whether uterine cancer should be removed depends on a variety of factors such as the patient's age, fertility needs, type and stage of cancer. The following are some factors to consider: 1. Type and stage of cancer: If uterine cancer is early (stage I or II) and confined to the corpus uteri, usually by hysterectomy (including total hysterectomy or subtotal hysterectomy). This procedure can completely remove the uterus and cervix to remove cancer cells. For some patients with high-risk cancer or at risk of spreading, further treatment may be needed, such as radiation, chemotherapy or targeted therapy. 2. Age and fertility needs of patients: Uterine preservation may be preferred in younger patients or in those with fertility needs, especially if the cancer is early and has a good prognosis. In this case, uterine artery embolization, intrauterine radiation, or other fertility preserving treatments may be considered. However, it is important to note that uterine preservation may increase the risk of cancer recurrence and therefore requires close follow-up and monitoring. 3. Patient health: The overall health of the patient is also an important factor in determining treatment options. If the patient has other serious health problems, such as heart disease, lung disease, or other cancers, hysterectomy or other aggressive treatment may not be appropriate. In this case, the doctor may choose a more conservative treatment option, such as radiation, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy. 4. The goal of treatment: The goal of uterine cancer treatment is to cure cancer and preserve the patient's quality of life as much as possible. Doctors will develop individualized treatment plans based on the patient's specific conditions, weighing the benefits and risks of treatment. It is important to emphasize that uterine cancer treatment is a complex decision-making process that requires adequate communication and discussion between patients and doctors. The doctor will explain in detail the pros and cons of various treatment options and provide professional advice based on the patient's wishes and circumstances. In addition, patients may consider consulting other doctors or professional cancer treatment centers for more opinions and options. Psychological support and rehabilitation of patients during treatment are also important. Patients and family members can seek help from a psychologist or support group to cope with the physical and psychological stress of treatment. In short, the decision whether to remove a uterus for uterine cancer needs to be made on a case-by-case basis. Patients should work closely with their doctor to develop the treatment plan that best suits them.
