Corpus Uteri Cancer

Precision Oncology for Corpus Uteri Cancer

Corpus uteri cancer, also known as uterine cancer, occurs when abnormal cells develop in the uterus. It includes endometrial cancer, which begins in the inner lining of the uterus, and uterine sarcoma, which develops in the muscle wall. Precision oncology and genomic profiling help guide personalized treatment decisions for improved patient care.

What is Corpus Uteri Cancer?

Corpus uteri cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in the uterus. It includes endometrial cancer, which develops in the lining of the uterus, and uterine sarcoma, which develops in the muscle wall of the uterus.

Early diagnosis combined with precision oncology helps identify molecular changes that guide personalized treatment strategies and improve outcomes.

Symptoms

  • Vaginal bleeding after menopause
  • Bleeding between menstrual periods

Risk Factors

  • Age 50 years or older
  • Diet high in animal fat
  • Lynch syndrome or other inherited disorders
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity
  • Ovarian diseases
Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

Early diagnosis and comprehensive molecular testing help determine the stage of disease and guide individualized treatment planning.

Diagnosis

1
Pelvic Examination

Initial clinical examination to detect abnormalities.

2
Blood Tests & Imaging

Transvaginal ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and hysteroscopy help evaluate the uterus.

3
Biopsy

A tissue sample confirms the diagnosis and supports treatment planning.

Treatment Options

Hysterectomy

Surgical removal of the uterus, the primary treatment for endometrial cancer.

BSO Surgery

Removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Lymph Node Dissection

Removal of nearby lymph nodes for staging and treatment.

Chemotherapy

Medicines destroy cancer cells throughout the body.

Radiotherapy

High-energy radiation destroys cancer cells.

Hormone Therapy

Medicines lower or block hormones that help cancer grow.

Immunotherapy

Helps the immune system destroy cancer cells.

Targeted Therapy

Precision medicines target specific abnormalities in cancer cells.

Prognosis

Survival Outcomes

Survival depends on the stage at diagnosis, tumour type, molecular profile, and response to treatment. Most endometrial cancers are detected early, when treatment is highly effective.

Overall Survival

75%

5-Year Survival Rate

Treatment Outlook

  • Excellent prognosis when detected early
  • Surgery alone cures many early-stage cases
  • Precision oncology helps guide treatment for advanced disease

Frequently Asked Questions

Stage I: Cancer is confined to the uterus.

Stage II: Cancer has spread to the cervix.

Stage III: Cancer has spread to the vagina, ovaries, or lymph nodes.

Stage IV: Cancer has spread to the bladder or distant organs.

When diagnosed early, surgical removal of the uterus can cure many cases of uterine cancer.

No. Pregnancy is no longer possible after the uterus has been removed (hysterectomy).
