What to do if uterine cancer spreads

In daily life, many adult women suffer from endometrium. After this disease occurs, it seriously endangers the patient's health. Usually, everyone needs to understand the occurrence of the disease as early as possible, and pay attention to reasonable treatment and pay attention to the causes of the disease. So what are the causes of uterine cancer?

What are the common treatments for uterine cancer? Let’s take a look at the relevant introductions below.
(1) Surgical treatment: It is the preferred treatment method, especially for early cases. Stage I patients should undergo extended (extrafascial) total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Stage II patients should undergo extensive hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection.
(2) Surgery plus radiotherapy: For patients in stage I, if cancer cells are found in the ascites or the deep muscle layer has been infiltrated, and the lymph nodes are suspicious or have metastasized, radiotherapy is required after surgery. Patients in stages II and III may receive intracavitary irradiation or external irradiation before surgery, depending on the size of the lesion. Surgery should be performed within 1 to 2 weeks after the end of radiotherapy. Surgery should be performed 4 weeks after the end of external irradiation.
(3) Radiotherapy: Although adenocarcinoma is not sensitive to radiation, it can be considered for the elderly or those with severe complications who cannot tolerate surgery, and for those in stage III or IV who are not suitable for surgery. It still has a certain effect. Radiotherapy should include intracavitary irradiation and external irradiation.
(4) Progestin therapy: Progestin therapy can be considered for patients with advanced or recurrent cancer, those who cannot undergo surgical resection, or those who are young, have early stage cancer, and wish to preserve their fertility. The dosage should be high. Progestin therapy is more effective for well-differentiated, slow-growing endometrial cancer with high estrogen and progesterone receptor content. Side effects are mild, but can cause water and sodium retention, edema, drug-induced hepatitis, etc., which gradually improve after discontinuation of the drug.
