what to do if i was diagnosed with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma. how serious is my condition?

Question

Can you tell me about endometrial serous adenocarcinoma?

Answer 1

Cancer is a serious : Most cancers are serious but it depends on the stage of cancer. Early cancers(stage 1 or 2) are highly curable. But there is treatment for all stages of endometrial cancer . Ask you doctor and find the answers from him/her.

Answer 2

No: No laparoscopic gastrectomies for cancer , the need for adequate lymph node sampling and excission is critical in the survival of the gastric adenocarcinoma patients as well as omentectomy.

Answer 3

I don't think so: That is major surgery, even laparoscopically (technically difficult, doesn't take less time to perform). It is not simply removing the stomach; it is attaching what's left (part of stomach, if a partial gastrectomy, or esophagus, if total gastrectomy) to the intestine; generally requires admission for at least several days.

Answer 4

Very Unusual: Gastrectomies for adenocarcinoma, even if done laparoscopically, mandate an inpatient stay of at least 1-2 days but typically closer to 4-5. It is unusual to discharge a patient home post gastrectomy until the anastomosis has proven to heal and not leak. That is done by gradually introducing liquids then food slowly. Assessment also involves examining the abdomen, lab results, and vital signs.

Answer 5

Impossible: There is absolutely no way that could be an outpatient surgery. I would be curious to know who gave you the bad information. Sometimes nurses or testing staff will see laparoscopic gastrectomy and think cholecystectomy as this is a common outpatient procedure. I am sure your doctor told you this is not an outpatient procedure. You will be in the hospital several days. Good luck.

Answer 6

Concerning..: Performing a laparoscopic gastrectomy for cancer is a highly complex operation, so your doctor should be an expert in this field with a lot of experience prior to attempting this procedure. However it is not an outpatient operation, and you should expect to stay in hospital 2-3 days at least.

Answer 7

Doubtful: A properly performed gastrectomy for cancer, open or laparoscopically, is a significant surgical undertaking. It requires removal of a large part of the stomach and extensive removal of surrounding lymph node tissue. Furthermore, the remaining stomach has to be surgically attached to another segment of GI tract, usually small bowel. Recovery and care require a few inpatient days.

Answer 8

Poor: Rare cases of early pancreatic cancer can have long term survival- mostly the average survival is 20 months. For advanced cases the average survival ranges from 6-10 months.

Answer 9

Depends on stage: Depends on several factors. One of them is stage, which basically describes if the cancer is local or how far its spread. Also the primary source of the cancer (pancreas vs lung for example) also leads to different prognosis.

Answer 10

Yes: Gleason 4 prostate cancer can be treated. Attention must be paid to the presence of spread within the body.

Answer 11

PDQ: Us government maintains some good health info at cancer.Gov. Here's the link to the pdq on esophageal cancer: http://www.Cancer.Gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/esophageal/patient/page1 there are a lot of websites out there that have a lot of questionable information--sometimes it's hard to know where to go to get good information.
