How is endometrial cancer staged? Generally divided into four stages

The uterus is an important organ for women. If the uterus becomes cancerous, it is very serious for women. The seriousness of endometrial cancer is that it is very hidden. Once discovered, it is likely to be in the late stage. Therefore, it is difficult for patients with endometrial cancer to detect the existence of the disease in the early stage. Symptoms only appear in the late stage of endometrial cancer. Therefore, we need to understand that endometrial cancer is divided into four stages and two types.

Endometrial cancer is a cancer that occurs in the female uterus. Although it is very serious, many people suffer from it. We often hear that this disease may threaten the patient's life in the late stage, which is true. Therefore, women must pay attention to it and take effective treatment in time. So, how is endometrial cancer staged?
1. Endometrial cancer staging <br/>Endometrial cancer is a serious cancer disease, accounting for 20% to 30% of female gynecological malignant tumors. Once discovered, it deserves attention. Therefore, we need to understand the staging standards and rules of this disease. Endometrial cancer is generally divided into four stages. Stage I is mainly primary cancer; Stage II cancer lesions have invaded the cervical stroma; Stage III uterine cancer has invaded the outside, but is limited to the pelvic cavity; Stage IV cancer has metastasized to the bladder or rectum.
2. Classification of endometrial cancer <br/>Endometrial cancer is divided into two types, type I and type II. Most patients suffer from type I endometrial cancer, which accounts for about 80% of endometrial cancer and is generally caused by excessive estrogen. This type of endometrial cancer mainly occurs in younger women and those in the perimenopausal period, and the prognosis after treatment is relatively good. Type II endometrial cancer patients are relatively rare compared to type I patients, and mainly occur in postmenopausal elderly people, and the prognosis after treatment is relatively poor.
Endometrial cancer is a very common disease in modern times, and many women suffer from this malignant disease. Endometrial cancer is very harmful, and if it is not effectively treated in the late stage, it can easily lead to life-threatening situations. After understanding the above knowledge of how to stage and type, we must pay attention to it. If we find ourselves or someone around us suffering from endometrial cancer in our lives, we must take effective treatment plans as soon as possible, and never delay.
