Cancer in Women: Understanding Endometrial, Ovarian & Cervical Cancer - Article by India’s Topmost Uro oncologist.
Healthcare International Is Transforming Treatment for Cancer in Women.
Today, let’s talk about three of the most important cancers
in women: Endometrial, Ovarian, and Cervical Cancer.
Endometrial Cancer – The Silent Warning from the Uterus
Endometrial cancer begins in the lining of the uterus and is
most common in women after menopause.
Symptoms to watch for:
- Abnormal
vaginal bleeding (especially after menopause)
- Pelvic
pain or cramping
- Unusual
vaginal discharge
Risk factors:
- Obesity
and diabetes
- Hormonal
imbalance (high estrogen, low progesterone)
- Family
history of uterine or colon cancer
Treatment at HCI:
- Minimally
invasive hysterectomy (including robotic surgery)
- Advanced
radiation therapy (IMRT, Proton, Cyberknife)
- Hormone
therapy and targeted therapy for advanced stages
Ovarian Cancer – The Whispering Disease
Ovarian cancer is often called the “silent killer”
because its symptoms are vague and easily mistaken for digestive issues.
Symptoms to watch for:
- Persistent
bloating or abdominal swelling
- Pelvic
or back pain
- Loss
of appetite or feeling full quickly
- Frequent
urination
Risk factors:
- Family
history of ovarian or breast cancer
- BRCA1/BRCA2
gene mutations
- Never
having been pregnant
Treatment at HCI:
- Cytoreductive
(debulking) surgery, often with HIPEC (heated chemotherapy)
- Chemotherapy
& targeted therapy (e.g., PARP inhibitors)
- Immunotherapy
in selected cases
- Genetic
testing to guide personalized care
Cervical Cancer – Preventable Yet Deadly
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, often linked to persistent
HPV infection. Unlike other gynecological cancers, cervical cancer is largely
preventable through screening and vaccination.
Symptoms to watch for:
- Irregular
bleeding (between periods or after sex)
- Pelvic
pain
- Foul-smelling
discharge
- Advanced
stages may cause difficulty urinating or swelling in legs
Risk factors:
- HPV
infection (most important)
- Early
sexual activity & multiple partners
- Smoking
& weakened immune system
Treatment at HCI:
- Surgery
(conization, trachelectomy, or hysterectomy depending on stage)
- Advanced
radiation therapy (IMRT, Proton, Brachytherapy)
- Chemotherapy
for advanced disease
- Preventive
measures: HPV vaccination and regular Pap smears
