What Are the Treatments for Advanced Uterine Cancer?
Uterine cancer is usually cancer starting from the inner lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. Advanced uterine cancer means cancer that has spread beyond the uterus, typically stage three to four. According to the National Institutes of Health, five-year survival rates, an index of response to treatment, are much better when the cancer is still confined to the uterus. The options for treatment of advanced uterine cancer are diverse and are usually combined to improve effectiveness.
