Treatments for uterine cancer
Your healthcare team will create a treatment plan just for you. The plan is based on your health and specific information about the cancer. What you want is also important when planning treatment. When deciding which treatments to offer for uterine cancer, your healthcare team will consider:
- the type of uterine cancer you have
- the stage of the cancer
- the molecular subtype of the cancer
- the grade of the cancer
- possible side effects
- your age
- your overall health
- any medical problems you have
- if you want to have children in the future
- your lifestyle and what you prefer or want
Surgery is the main treatment for uterine cancer, regardless of the type of cancerous tumour you have. Radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy are often used after surgery. In some cases, you may have hormone therapy by itself to preserve your ability to have children.
