Can uterine cancer be cured?

Can endometrial cancer be cured? Many patients feel hopeless when it comes to diseases with the word "cancer" in their name. In fact, not all such diseases are incurable. Take endometrial cancer for example. It is one of the most common malignant tumors of the female reproductive organs, accounting for 20% to 30% of malignant tumors of the female reproductive tract. In recent years, the incidence of endometrial cancer has shown a clear upward trend. So can endometrial cancer be cured? You may know after reading the following introduction.

The occurrence of endometrial cancer is directly related to the continuous effect of estrogen. Long-term anovulation is the main risk factor for endometrial cancer. Estrogen can cause excessive proliferation of the endometrium, even atypical proliferation, and then endometrial cancer. The chance of atypical proliferation becoming cancer is about 10% to 25%. The risk of endometrial cancer in infertile, overweight and menopausal women later than 52 years old is 5 times that of fertile, normal weight and menopausal women before 49 years old.

Endometrial cancer can occur at any age, but it is basically a tumor of elderly women. According to the statistics of the American Cancer Registry, the peak age of the disease is 58 to 61 years old. Various types of uterine bleeding are the most prominent symptoms of this disease. About 50% to 70% of patients develop the disease after menopause. As for those who are not menopausal, they will show irregular bleeding or increased menstrual flow and prolonged menstruation. Therefore, irregular vaginal bleeding in middle-aged and elderly women may be a sign of endometrial cancer, which should arouse high vigilance, and young patients should not take it lightly.
