Uterine & endometrial cancer

Uterine & endometrial cancer, cared for close to home by one team.

Endometrial (uterine) cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer, and many cases are found early and are highly treatable. Our oncologists coordinate any chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy with your gynecologic and surgical team.

How we approach it

Often caught early

Because it usually causes abnormal bleeding, endometrial cancer is frequently found at an early, treatable stage

Biomarker-guided therapy

Tumor testing can open targeted and immune treatment options, especially for advanced disease

Coordinated with surgery

Surgery is often the main treatment; we coordinate any added therapy around it

What the workup looks like

1
Starting with the bleeding

Abnormal bleeding usually leads to an endometrial biopsy, which most often makes the diagnosis.

2
Surgery that stages it

A hysterectomy is typically both the main treatment and the way the cancer is staged.

3
Risk-based next steps

Tumor features and molecular testing determine whether radiation or chemotherapy is recommended afterward.

Common questions

What's the most common symptom?
Abnormal vaginal bleeding — especially any bleeding after menopause — is the most common sign and should always be evaluated.
Will I need chemotherapy?
Many early cancers are treated with surgery alone. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy are added for higher-risk or advanced disease.
Does tumor testing change treatment?
Yes — certain molecular features can make a cancer especially responsive to immunotherapy, so we test when it may open options.
Is endometrial cancer usually curable?
When found early — as it often is — the outlook is very good. More advanced disease has effective treatments too.
