Treatments for Cancer of the Uterus

Early diagnosis of cancer of the uterus is common and in most cases is identified and treated before the cancer has spread. This means that for a large proportion of women, surgery may be all that is required to cure the cancer. The major side effect of the surgery is that women can no longer have children. The surgery induces menopause. If the cancer has spread beyond the uterus then radiotherapy, hormone therapy or chemotherapy may be used in addition to surgery.  (Source: Uterine cancer: treatments [myDr] )
