Your dedicated care team at Phoebe Cancer Center is committed to guiding you through a treatment plan for endometrial cancer. Our treatment program uses a multi-disciplinary team approach to deliver the highest level of care throughout our patients’ journey, from prevention to treatment and survivorship.

Types of Endometrial Cancers We Treat:

The term “uterine cancer” encompasses cancers originating in the uterus, including:

  • Endometrial cancer, which forms in the endometrium or the inner lining of the uterus. It is the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs.
  • Uterine sarcoma, which arises in the myometrium or the muscular wall of the uterus. Such cases are exceptionally rare.

Treatment

Surgical intervention, typically a hysterectomy involving the removal of the uterus and cervix, is the primary treatment approach for endometrial cancer. Additional treatments can encompass chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy.

Our Team Approach
