Uterus Cancer Treatment in Mumbai
Expert Care for Uterus Cancer with the Right Treatment at Every Stage
Uterus cancer, also known as endometrial cancer, develops in the lining of the uterus and is one of the most common gynecological cancers. Many women experience abnormal uterine bleeding in the early stages, making timely evaluation important for early diagnosis. At VED Hospital, every patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment to determine the stage of the cancer and the most appropriate combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or other treatments.
Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed with uterus cancer, have unusual bleeding that needs evaluation, or are seeking a second opinion, our multidisciplinary cancer team is here to guide you through every stage of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Understanding Uterus Cancer
Uterus cancer most commonly begins in the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus. It develops when cells in this lining grow abnormally and form a tumour. In many women, abnormal vaginal bleeding is the earliest warning sign, allowing the disease to be detected before it spreads. Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer, its grade, and your overall health.
When diagnosed early, uterus cancer is often highly treatable with surgery and, when needed, additional therapies.
Who May Be at Higher Risk?
Having one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean you will develop uterus cancer. Likewise, many women diagnosed with uterus cancer have no obvious risk factors. Although uterus cancer can occur in any woman, certain factors may increase the likelihood of developing the disease.
Increasing Age
Obesity
Diabetes
Inherited Genetic Conditions
Never Having Been Pregnant
Certain Hormonal Medications
Family History
Hormonal Imbalance
Previous Radiation Therapy
Symptoms That Shouldn't Be Ignored

Understanding Your Uterus Cancer Treatment Options
The recommended treatment depends on the stage of the disease, tumour characteristics, and your overall health. In many cases, treatment involves more than one approach.
Uterus Cancer Surgery
Surgery is the primary treatment for most women with uterus cancer. It commonly involves removal of the uterus along with the cervix, and in many cases, the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and nearby lymph nodes may also be removed depending on the stage of the disease.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy may be recommended after surgery or, in selected cases, as part of the primary treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy may be advised for advanced-stage disease, high-grade tumours, or when there is a higher risk of cancer returning after surgery.
Hormone Therapy
Certain hormone-sensitive uterine cancers may respond to hormone therapy, particularly in selected early-stage or advanced cases.
Immunotherapy
Some women with advanced or recurrent uterus cancer may benefit from targeted medicines or immunotherapy based on specialised tumour testing.
Treatment for Uterus Cancer
When the cancer has spread beyond the uterus, treatment focuses on controlling the disease, relieving symptoms, slowing cancer progression, and improving quality of life through a combination of therapies.
Long-Term Follow-Up
Regular follow-up visits, pelvic examinations, imaging when required, and clinical assessments help monitor recovery, evaluate treatment response, and detect recurrence as early as possible.
Finding the Right Diagnosis Before Treatment
Before recommending treatment, our specialists carefully evaluate the tumour, its extent, and your overall health to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy.
Medical History
Understanding your symptoms, menstrual history, menopause status, family history, medical conditions, and overall health.
Endometrial Biopsy
Pelvic ultrasound evaluates the uterus, while an endometrial biopsy confirms the diagnosis.
Cancer Staging
Clinical findings, biopsy results, and imaging are combined to accurately determine the stage of the disease.
Clinical & Pelvic Examination
A detailed gynecological examination helps assess the condition and guides further investigations.
Advanced Imaging
MRI, CT scan, PET-CT, or other imaging studies help determine the size of the tumour and lymph node involvement.
Treatment Planning
Our gynecologic oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and anaesthesia teams review all findings before recommending the plan.
Frequently Asked Question
Is surgery necessary for every woman with uterus cancer?
For most women, surgery is the primary treatment. However, depending on the stage of the disease, age, overall health, and tumour characteristics, additional treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or immunotherapy may also be recommended.
Will my ovaries also be removed during surgery?
In many cases, the ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed along with the uterus, particularly after menopause or when there is a risk of cancer spread. Your specialist will explain the most appropriate surgical plan.
Can uterus cancer be treated without surgery?
Some women who are not suitable for surgery because of other medical conditions or advanced disease may receive radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or other treatments depending on their clinical condition.
Will I need chemotherapy after surgery?
Not every patient requires chemotherapy. The decision depends on the stage, tumour grade, lymph node involvement, and final biopsy results after surgery.
How often will I need follow-up after treatment?
Follow-up usually includes pelvic examinations, clinical assessments, and imaging when required to monitor recovery and detect recurrence at an early stage.
Can uterus cancer come back after treatment?
Although many women achieve good long-term outcomes, recurrence is possible. Regular follow-up plays an important role in identifying any recurrence early, allowing timely evaluation and further treatment if needed.
