What Is Endometrial Cancer?

Endometrial cancer is cancer that begins in the lining of the uterus. It is most common among postmenopausal women but can occur in younger women as well. Symptoms often include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, and changes in urinary or bowel function. Women who experience these symptoms should seek medical attention as early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove the uterus (hysterectomy), and in some cases, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy may be necessary, depending on the cancer's stage. Dr. Rahul D. Modi’s experience in treating endometrial cancer allows him to provide patients with individualized treatment plans, taking into account the stage of the disease, the patient's health, and fertility considerations. For women with early-stage endometrial cancer, surgery alone is often curative, and he uses minimally invasive surgical techniques to help minimize recovery time and reduce the risk of complications. His holistic approach to treatment ensures that women receive the most effective care while supporting them emotionally through their journey.
