Endometrial cancer, one of the most common cancers affecting women, originates in the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. Early diagnosis significantly improves outcomes, making it essential to understand the range of treatment options available. At Gynae Solution, led by Mr. Jafaru Abu, we are committed to providing comprehensive, personalised care to guide patients through their treatment journey.

Surgical Treatment

Surgery is often the first line of treatment for endometrial cancer. A hysterectomy, which involves removing the uterus, is the most common procedure. Depending on the stage and spread of the cancer, removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and nearby lymph nodes may also be necessary. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic surgery, are often used to reduce recovery time and complications.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. It may be recommended after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence or as a primary treatment for patients who are not candidates for surgery. There are two types of radiation therapy: external beam radiation and brachytherapy (internal radiation).

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy is particularly effective for hormone-sensitive endometrial cancers. It involves using medications to block or lower hormone levels, slowing cancer growth. This treatment is commonly used for advanced stages or recurrent cancers.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is typically recommended for advanced or aggressive forms of endometrial cancer. It uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells and can be combined with radiation or surgery for a more comprehensive approach.

Immunotherapy

Emerging as a promising option, immunotherapy helps the body’s immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. It is especially beneficial for cancers with specific genetic mutations.

At Gynae Solution, we believe in empowering patients with knowledge and tailored care. If you or a loved one is facing endometrial cancer, we are here to help you explore your options with confidence and compassion.
