What does it mean if someone has Stage 4 Uterine Cancer…?
These are the main features of each stage of the disease: * Stage I — The cancer is only in the body of the uterus. It is not in the cervix. * Stage II — The cancer has spread from the body of the uterus to the cervix. * Stage III — The cancer has spread outside the uterus, but not outside the pelvis (and not to the bladder or rectum). Lymph nodes in the pelvis may contain cancer cells. * Stage IV — The cancer has spread into the bladder or rectum. Or it has spread beyond the pelvis to other body parts. How is it treated? Endometrial cancer in its early stages can be cured. The main treatment is surgery to remove the uterus plus the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. If the cancer has spread, the doctor may also remove the pelvic lymph nodes. A woman whose cancer has spread may also have: * Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells. * Hormone therapy to block cancer growth. * Radiation therapy to kill cancer cells. I am very sorry to hear about your friend. I wish her the best. I hope y
