Types of Surgery for Endometrial Cancer

Endometrial: About this Treatment
听

Your doctor will recommend the type of surgery that is most effective for the stage and extent of your endometrial cancer. That includes:

Hysterectomy: removing the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and, in many cases, the ovaries.
Surgery that preserves the ovaries: In some cases of early endometrial cancer in younger women, doctors can preserve the function of the ovaries. That may allow women to collect their eggs for future use, potentially leading to pregnancies with surrogates.
