Pathological types of uterine cancer

Uterine cancer also includes cervical cancer and several common types of endometrial cancer. Generally speaking, the main pathological types are adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for the majority, and there is also adenosquamous carcinoma, which accounts for a relatively smaller proportion. For uterine cancer, there may be some symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. The main treatment method is surgery for radical cure, and radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatments can be used after surgery. If surgery is not possible, palliative radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be directly performed, which also has the effect of prolonging survival.

Causes of Uterine Cancer

Uterine cancer is generally a common malignant tumor in female gynecology, mainly including some cancers of the uterine body, endometrium and cervix. The causes of uterine cancer in different parts may be different. Cervical cancer may be mainly related to human papillomavirus infection, also known as HPV virus infection. Other uterine body cancers or endometrial cancers may also be related to endocrine factors, as well as genetics, gene mutations, environment, etc. The specific cause may be the result of a comprehensive effect. Generally speaking, after uterine cancer is discovered, those who can be treated surgically should strive to have surgery as early as possible to achieve the best results.

Symptoms of Uterine Cancer

Uterine cancer generally refers to uterine body cancer and cervical cancer, both of which are very common malignant tumors in female gynecology. The main symptoms of uterine cancer may include pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Cancer located in the cervix may cause irregular bleeding and discharge, as well as contact vaginal bleeding and other manifestations. Generally speaking, imaging examinations are used to detect space-occupying lesions in the uterus, and then further gynecological examinations are performed, including liquid-based cytology. If abnormal cells are found, further colposcopic biopsy and pathology are required for the final diagnosis. The treatment of uterine cancer is also mainly surgical radical cure, and after surgery, it is also necessary to cooperate with comprehensive treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
