The uterine body is composed of endometrium and muscle outer layer (Myometrium). If cancer cells appear in this location, it is uterine body cancer, and nearly 90% of them are endometrial cancer. The function of the endometrium is to support the implantation of the fetus during pregnancy. If the egg is not fertilized in time, the endometrium will peel off and grow periodically, that is, the monthly menstruation. Women who experience heavy menstrual bleeding and irregular menstruation after the age of 40, or who still have vaginal bleeding after menopause, should seek examination from a gynecologist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies have shown that if the estrogen and progesterone secreted by the ovaries are out of balance, such as excessive estrogen secretion, the risk of endometrial cancer will increase, and being overweight or obese will increase the concentration of estrogen in the body. Other high-risk factors include having more than one close relative in the family with breast, colorectal or ovarian cancer, and being over 60 years old. As for those who are receiving long-term single estrogen hormone therapy, or breast cancer patients taking tamoxifen (Tamoxifen), there is also a higher risk than other women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, more than half of endometrial cancer patients are diagnosed at the first stage, and the tumor has not spread outward, so the cure rate is very high. Doctors generally recommend surgery to remove the uterus, bilateral ovaries and fallopian tubes. If the patient still wants to conceive and the cancer is at an early stage, hormone drugs can be used to suppress the cancer. At the same time, it is necessary to seize the time to get pregnant as soon as possible. It must be noted that hormonal therapy is only an expedient measure, not the most accurate treatment method. Therefore, it is advisable for patients to have their uterus removed after completing their family planning to avoid cancer recurrence. For patients with signs of tumor spread, adjuvant treatment such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy is required after surgery to reduce the chance of recurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is currently known that women who have given birth or breastfeeding can reduce the risk of uterine body cancer. The reason may be related to the less time in their life that is affected by estrogen; women, especially after the age of 40, it is very important to have regular gynecological examinations. Helps detect changes in the body early. In addition, maintain a healthy life, do not smoke, exercise more, and try to maintain the "three lows and one high" principle in terms of diet, that is, low sugar, low salt, low oil and high fiber, which can also reduce the overall risk of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
