Uterine cancer (or womb cancer) is a critical health condition that occurs when cells in the uterus grow uncontrollably. This condition primarily affects the female reproductive system, causing significant health challenges for women worldwide. It's most common in postmenopausal women. If you're looking for an alternative treatment option to surgery, consult Dr. Mukti Mukherjee for specialized, safe, and effective uterine cancer radiation therapy in Kolkata.
Types of Uterine Cancer
Endometrial Cancer
The most common type of uterine cancer, accounting for about 95% of cases. It originates in the uterine lining (endometrium) and requires early detection for successful treatment. Most common variety is adenocarcinoma.
Clear cell carcinoma, sarcomatoid varieties are less common but more aggressive.
Uterine Sarcoma
It's a rare and aggressive cancer that develops in the uterine muscle or supportive tissues. This type demands specialized medical attention and advanced treatment strategies since it's harder to treat than endometrial cancer.
