Uterine Cancer

Uterine cancer is an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in the organ where pregnancy develops; depending on its location it can affect the endometrium (the inner layer) or the cervix, and each type has different features.

Manifestations worth checking: bleeding outside of menstruation or after menopause, unusual discharge, persistent pelvic pain, or discomfort during intercourse. These signs do not confirm the disease, but they do justify a visit.

Specialized care: the gynecologist performs the initial evaluation, while the gynecologic oncologist and the oncologist handle the detailed study and follow-up. Reviewing any change in time with a health professional is the best way to clear up doubts and care for your well-being.
