What are the postoperative examination items for endometrial cancer? These four examinations are required

Endometrial cancer is more likely to occur in middle-aged and elderly women. It is mainly related to the decline in estrogen levels and seriously threatens women's health. It is a common malignant tumor that may recur after surgical treatment, so regular re-examination is required, such as B-ultrasound examination, chest CT, cytology examination and ultrasound examination.

Endometrial cancer is a common malignant tumor that is prone to occur in postmenopausal women or perimenopausal women. The reason why endometrial cancer occurs in middle-aged and elderly people may be related to the decline in estrogen levels, which has become a major killer of women and has a high incidence rate. It is only second to cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. The chance of recurrence is relatively high. Surgical treatment can be chosen. So what are the general postoperative examination items for endometrial cancer?

1. B-ultrasound examination <br/>B-ultrasound examination should be chosen after endometrial cancer surgery to check whether there is any recurrence of the local pelvic tumor. Generally, after surgery, the tumor indicators will be within the normal range. If there is an increase, it means it is abnormal. During this period after the normal period, it is also necessary to see if there is any abnormal increase. This is the key to judging whether the tumor has recurred.
2. Chest <br/>If you have coughing symptoms after endometrial cancer surgery, you need to take a chest CT or chest X-ray. Lung metastasis may occur after endometrial cancer surgery. Once lung metastasis occurs, the body will have obvious discomfort symptoms, such as coughing, chest tightness, etc.
3. Cytology examination <br/>Vaginal cytology examination is required after endometrial cancer surgery. The main reason is that columnar epithelial cells do not fall off frequently, and the shed cells may enter the vagina through the cervical canal. Sometimes, despite the stenosis, there will be a sense of closure, which prevents the shed cells from reaching the vagina. Therefore, after surgery, if you can choose a cytology examination, you can detect abnormal symptoms at the first time and reduce the recurrence of the tumor.
4. Ultrasound examination <br/>Ultrasound examination can tell the current recovery of endometrial cancer, and understand the location, size and degree of infiltration of endometrial cancer in the uterine cavity. Sometimes, if you do not pay attention to care after surgery, it will affect the health of the cervix. Ultrasound examination is not prone to radiation damage, so it has become a routine examination method after endometrial cancer surgery. It can understand the clinical symptoms and is more valuable for reference.
