Treatment of uterine cancer is usually surgical resection or removal of the uterus and surrounding tissue. Sometimes we also use radiation therapy which is high-dose x-ray either given externally by a machine or inserted into the vagina area by an implant.
Chemotherapy is usually not used for endometrial cancer except in later stages or for high-risk cancers. Today we have new surgical techniques such as laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery that could make a woman’s recovery quicker.
