Question 6

how does uterine cancer affect your body?

Accepted Answer

Various way: Depending on the type of uterine cancer: it can go to another site (metastasis), which can affect the organs that it goes to. If you have a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), along with lymph nodes in selected cases, you usually have a good outcome, depending on the tumor type and stage (where it has spread). Obviously, you cannot have any more children after this.

Question 7

i have possible uterine cancer please help what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Depends on staging: If you've been diagnosed, the next question is to determine the stage.  That would involve tests.  The stage would determine the treatment.  If you have "possible " uc, i don't know what that means -- have you had biopsy? Other tests?  An abnormal pap smear?

Question 8

does tamoxifen cause uterine cancer?

Accepted Answer

It can.: The most definitive study that looked at uterine cancer rates associated with tamoxifen found that women had twice the risk of developing uterine cancer, at a rate of 1 per 500 women per year.  This rate is far lower than the rate of breast cancer prevention;  thus, the benefits far outweigh the risks.  A better alternative after menopause is aromatase inhibitors, which do not increase this risk.

Question 9

can you tell me what are uterine cancer symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal bleeding.: Symptoms of endometrial (uterine) cancer may include: vaginal bleeding after menopause, bleeding between periods, blood-tinged discharge from the vagina, pain during sex, and pelvic pain.  Unexplained weight loss is another possibly sign.  Most uterine cancers happen in postmenopausal women. Obesity is another risk factor.  If you are concerned see a doctor or other provider or visit a clinic.

Question 10

what is the survival rate for recurrent uterine cancer?

Accepted Answer

Variable: It is dependent on the stage of the cancer, the nodal involvement, and the extent of spread of the cancer.
