Three common treatments for uterine cancer

Hormonal and chemotherapy

The biggest advantage of progestin therapy is its small adverse reactions, especially it does not have the serious adverse reaction of bone marrow suppression like general chemotherapy drugs. It is easy to use and does not require hospitalization. However, there may be occasional pain and redness at the injection site. A few patients have mild edema, high blood pressure, acne, and progesterone furuncle, but they can all tolerate it, so patients are happy to accept it.

Radiation therapy

The treatment of uterine cancer also needs to be based on pathological differentiation, the depth of tumor infiltration into the muscle layer, lymph node metastasis and whether the peritoneal exfoliated cells are positive. Based on the above comprehensive considerations, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are adopted to improve the cure rate. In addition, radiotherapy alone or combined with chemotherapy is mostly used for elderly patients, those with surgical contraindications, and a small number of patients with advanced lesions with multi-organ involvement or palliative treatment of bleeding caused by unresectable tumors.

Surgery

There are many surgical methods for treating uterine cancer. That is, most treatment methods for uterine cancer are to use surgery to achieve good results. For patients who can be cured by total hysterectomy plus bilateral adnexectomy, for more serious cases, total hysterectomy plus bilateral adnexectomy combined with radiotherapy is better than surgery alone.
