Endometrial & Uterine Cancer Surgery

Endometrial and uterine cancer surgery involves the removal of cancerous tissue from the lining or muscular wall of the uterus. Surgery is the primary treatment for most patients and also helps determine the stage of disease to guide further therapy.

Treatment

Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan based on their diagnosis and stage of disease.

Removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, the standard treatment for most cases.

Pelvic & Para-Aortic Lymphadenectomy

Removal of lymph nodes for accurate surgical staging.

A targeted technique to assess lymph node spread with fewer nodes removed.

Omentectomy

Performed in select high-grade or sarcoma cases.
