Womb cancer often causes symptoms quite early. If it's diagnosed early, treatment can be very effective. Your treatment will depend on a number of factors including the grade (how fast it's growing) and stage of cancer (the size and spread). Endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma are treated in similar ways. For most women, the first and most common treatment is surgery. Your doctor is likely to suggest a total hysterectomy-an operation to remove your womb and ovaries. Your surgeon may also remove or examine the lymph nodes around your womb-checking lymph nodes can help to decide whether you need other treatment. The aim of surgery is to remove all traces of the cancer. If your cancer is contained within your womb then a hysterectomy is often successful at curing womb cancer.
