Loyola Medicine physicians used a multidisciplinary team approach to treat Maria Liberty's endometrial cancer. Obstetrician gynecologist Sarah Wagner, MD, evaluated Ms. Liberty and performed a hysterectomy. Ronald Putkul, MD, chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology, staged the cancer. William Small, Jr., MD, chair of Radiation Oncology, administered targeted radiation with low toxicity. Ms. Liberty is in remission and her prognosis is excellent. "I've had such a positive experience with all three doctors," she said.

In this video, Dr Josheata Pandita along with Dr Uma Dangi will talk about the common queries related to uterine cancer and endometrial cancer, fibroids and oral contraceptives. Uterine cancer has two parts: endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma.
Endometrial cancer is cancer formed in the tissues of the endometrium inside a uterus. Uterine cancer is commonly seen in elderly females but past some time it is also seen in women aged between the 30s to 50s. Symptoms of uterine cancer are bleeding which is different from regular periods, irregular periods and intermenstrual cycle. On developing any such symptoms a woman must see a doctor, diagnosing uterine cancer at an early age and at the right time can be very effective in curing the disease. About 8-9 women out of 10 can completely be cured of uterine cancer if diagnosed at an early stage. Tests to diagnose uterine cancer are sonography and hysteroscopy.
A fibroid is a benign tumour. In other words, a muscle tumour is referred to as a fibroid. Every fibroid is not cancerous, and the chances to develop cancer in future are very low.
By consuming oral contraceptives the risk of breast cancer increases however, consumption of oral contraceptives is known to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. But the doctor tells us that this is not a treatment or a way to prevent endometrial cancer.
इस वीडियो में, डॉ जोशीता पंडिता, डॉ उमा डांगी के साथ गर्भाशय के कैंसर और एंडोमेट्रियल कैंसर से संबंधित सामान्य प्रश्नों पर बात करेंगे, फाइब्रॉएड और मौखिक गर्भ निरोधकों पर।
गर्भाशय के कैंसर के दो भाग होते हैं: एंडोमेट्रियल कैंसर और गर्भाशय सार्कोमा। एंडोमेट्रियल कैंसर एक कैंसर है जो गर्भाशय के अंदर एंडोमेट्रियम के ऊतकों में बनता है। गर्भाशय कैंसर आमतौर पर बुजुर्ग महिलाओं में देखा जाता है लेकिन पिछले कुछ समय से यह 30 से 50 वर्ष की आयु की महिलाओं में भी देखा जाता है। इस कैंसर का लक्षण है ब्लीडिंग जो कि नियमित पीरियड्स, अनियमित पीरियड्स और इंटरमेंस्ट्रुअल साइकल से अलग होता है। ऐसे किसी भी लक्षण के विकसित होने पर एक महिला को कम उम्र में कैंसर का निदान करने और सही समय पर बीमारी को ठीक करने में बहुत प्रभावी हो सकता है। 10 में से लगभग 8-9 महिलाएं कैंसर से पूरी तरह ठीक हो सकती हैं यदि प्रारंभिक अवस्था में इसका निदान किया जाए। गर्भाशय के कैंसर के निदान के लिए टेस्ट सोनोग्राफी और हिस्टेरोस्कोपी हैं।
फाइब्रॉएड एक सौम्य ट्यूमर है। दूसरे शब्दों में, एक मांसपेशी ट्यूमर को फाइब्रॉएड के रूप में जाना जाता है। हर फाइब्रॉएड कैंसर नहीं होता है, और भविष्य में कैंसर होने की संभावना बहुत कम होती है।
मौखिक गर्भ निरोधकों के सेवन से स्तन कैंसर का खतरा बढ़ जाता है, हालांकि मौखिक गर्भ निरोधकों के सेवन से एंडोमेट्रियल कैंसर का खतरा कम हो गया है। लेकिन यह एंडोमेट्रियल कैंसर को रोकने का कोई इलाज या तरीका नहीं है।

Doctors usually treat womb cancer with surgery. Some women have radiotherapy after surgery, especially if there is a high risk that the cancer will come back. In this trial, women had stage 1 womb cancer that was at a high risk of coming back (grade 3). Or they had stage 2 or stage 3 womb cancer.
Radiotherapy to the pelvis can help to stop cancer coming back in that area of the body. But it can’t stop cancer coming back elsewhere in the body.
Doctors think that chemotherapy during and after radiotherapy will help stop cancer coming back in another part of the body. But they don’t know this for certain. All chemotherapy drugs have side effects. So it’s important that patients don’t have treatments that don’t work. Having chemotherapy and radiotherapy together is called chemoradiotherapy.
The aims of this trial were to:
find out if it’s better to have chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy on its own after surgery for womb
learn more about the side effects of these treatments and how they affect quality of life
The PORTEC-3 trial is trying to find out if radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery could improve survial in women with womb cancer. Dr Melanie Powell talks about the trial.
