Hysterectomy is usually advised for cases of stage 1 or 2
endometrial cancer.
You may want to request one of the following diagnostics to confirm or exclude endometrial cancer as a possibility:
* Endometrial aspiration or biopsy
* Dilation and curettage (D and C)
* Pap smear (may raise a suspicion for endometrial cancer, but does not diagnose it)
* Pelvic examination
The general stages of endometrial cancer are:
1. The cancer is only in the uterus.
2. The cancer is in the uterus and cervix.
3. The cancer has spread outside of the uterus but not beyond the true pelvis area. Cancer may involve the lymph nodes in the pelvis or near the aorta (the major artery in the abdomen).
4. The cancer has spread to the inner surface of the bowel, bladder, abdomen, or other organs.
I'd suggest that you follow up with your doctor or seek advice from another gynecologist or oncologist.
