Uterine / Endometrial Cancer Treatment in North Delhi — Dr. Raj Kiran

Gynaecology Oncologist) Care

Uterine cancer — most commonly endometrial cancer, which begins in the inner lining of the uterus — is one of the most frequently diagnosed gynaecological cancers in women. Early detection of uterine cancer is possible because the most common warning sign, abnormal uterine bleeding, is difficult to ignore. With timely diagnosis and advanced uterine cancer treatment by a subspecialty-trained gynaecological oncologist, survival rates and treatment outcomes are highly successful.

Dr. Raj Kiran is a DrNB-qualified female gynaecological oncologist in North Delhi with expertise in robotic and laparoscopic staging surgery for uterine cancer. She consults at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, Pusa Road, and Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh.

Symptoms of Uterine Cancer — When to See a Specialist

Uterine cancer often shows early warning signs, making timely diagnosis and treatment possible. Abnormal bleeding should never be ignored, especially after menopause. Consult a gynaecological oncologist if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding — irregular, heavy, or bleeding between periods in premenopausal women, and any bleeding after menopause
Watery or blood-tinged vaginal discharge
Pelvic pain or pressure in the lower abdomen
Pain during sexual intercourse
Unexplained weight loss or persistent fatigue, especially in advanced stages
Difficulty urinating or changes in bowel habits in locally advanced cases

Post-menopausal bleeding is the single most important warning sign of endometrial cancer. Even a small amount of vaginal bleeding after menopause requires immediate medical evaluation by a gynaecological oncologist.

Risk Factors for Uterine / Endometrial Cancer

Certain medical, hormonal, and lifestyle factors can significantly increase the risk of developing uterine cancer or endometrial cancer.

Obesity

Excess body fat increases oestrogen production, which directly stimulates the endometrium and raises endometrial cancer risk.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)

Chronic hormonal imbalance and unopposed oestrogen exposure increase the likelihood of uterine cancer.

Diabetes & Insulin Resistance

Women with diabetes or insulin resistance have a higher incidence of endometrial cancer.

Nulliparity

Women who have never been pregnant are at a relatively higher risk of developing uterine cancer.

Late Menopause

Menopause after the age of 55 increases prolonged hormonal exposure and raises cancer risk.

Oestrogen-Only Hormone Therapy

Long-term use of oestrogen-only HRT without progesterone can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

Tamoxifen Use

Women taking tamoxifen for breast cancer treatment may have a slightly increased risk of uterine cancer.

Family History & Genetic Syndromes

A family history of endometrial, colorectal, ovarian, or Lynch syndrome-related cancers increases the risk significantly.

Women with multiple risk factors should consider proactive screening and regular consultations with a gynaecological oncologist, even if no symptoms are currently present.

How Uterine Cancer Is Diagnosed

Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential before starting uterine cancer treatment. A structured diagnostic approach helps determine the extent of disease and guides personalised treatment planning.

Pelvic Examination — clinical assessment to identify abnormalities in the uterus, ovaries, or nearby structures.
Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVUS) — first-line imaging test used to evaluate endometrial thickness and detect suspicious changes.
Endometrial Biopsy (Pipelle Biopsy) — the most important test for confirming endometrial cancer through histopathological examination.
Hysteroscopy with Biopsy — allows direct visualisation of the uterine cavity and targeted biopsy from suspicious areas.
MRI of Pelvis — highly accurate imaging for assessing tumour invasion into the uterine muscle, cervix, or lymph nodes.
CT Scan of Abdomen & Chest — used to check lymph node involvement and rule out distant spread before surgery.
CA-125 & Tumour Markers — blood tests that may help assess advanced disease and support pre-operative evaluation.

Uterine Cancer Treatment Options

Uterine cancer treatment is personalised based on cancer stage, tumour type, age, and overall health. Surgery is the most common and effective treatment for early-stage disease.

Surgical Treatment

  • Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH + BSO)
  • Robotic-assisted hysterectomy
  • Pelvic & para-aortic lymph node evaluation
  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy
Laparoscopic Robotic Surgery Minimally Invasive
  • Faster recovery
  • Smaller incisions
  • Less pain & shorter hospital stay

Radiotherapy

External beam radiation or vaginal brachytherapy may be recommended after surgery to reduce recurrence risk.

Hormonal Therapy

Progesterone-based hormonal treatment may help selected low-grade and fertility-preserving cases.

Chemotherapy

  • Used in advanced or high-grade cancers
  • Helps control cancer spread
  • Often combined with radiation therapy

Frequently Asked Questions

Uterine cancer starts in the lining of the uterus (endometrium), while cervical cancer begins in the cervix. Both are different cancers with different treatments and require care from a gynaecological oncologist.

The most common early symptom is abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially bleeding after menopause or irregular heavy periods. Pelvic pain and unusual discharge may also occur.

Yes. Most patients can undergo laparoscopic or robotic-assisted hysterectomy, which offers smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Yes, robotic surgery for uterine cancer provides high precision and is especially beneficial for obese or high-risk patients, with quicker recovery and fewer complications.

In selected early-stage cases, fertility-preserving treatment using hormonal therapy may be considered under close monitoring by a gynaecological oncologist.
