Yes, uterus cancer can be removed. Depending on the type and stage of the cancer, it can be done either with surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy.
Surgery is the most common treatment for removing uterus cancer. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, one of the following surgical options may be recommended:
* Radical hysterectomy – This surgery removes the entire uterus, including the cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and part of the vagina.
* Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy – This surgery removes both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
* Simple hysterectomy – This surgery removes the uterus but leaves the cervix in place.
In some cases, radiation therapy may also be used to remove uterus cancer. It involves using high-energy X-rays or other forms of radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can be used before, during, or after surgery, and it is often used to reduce the size of a tumor before surgery.
Chemotherapy may also be used to treat uterus cancer. This treatment uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It is often used in combination with surgery and radiation therapy.
In general, the success of treatment for uterus cancer depends on the type and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health. It is important to discuss treatment options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for you.
