Endometrial Cancer Treatment at WVCI

undertand endometrial cancer -wvci oncologist and uterine cancer patient

The uterus has two main parts, the cervix (the lower end, which extends into the vagina) and the body. Although the cervix is technically a part of the uterus, most references to the uterus are about the body section of the uterus.

Endometrial (uterine) cancer is a type of gynecologic cancer that forms in the tissue lining (the endometrium) of the uterus, the small, hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman’s pelvis in which a fetus develops. Most endometrial cancers are adenocarcinomas – cancers that begin in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids.

What to Expect from Endometrial Cancer Surgery

Endometrial cancer surgery is one of the most common procedures performed by gynecologic oncologists at Willamette Valley Cancer Institute. While the technology is highly advanced, and many women can take advantage of minimally invasive surgery options, patients may still be anxious about what to expect.

From preparation to recovery, our gynecologic oncologists guide you through the entire uterine cancer treatment process, including surgery and other options, so you can create a treatment plan that's best for you.
