Uterine Cancer Treatment in Delhi
Looking for uterine cancer treatment in Delhi? Dr. Archit Pandit provides comprehensive diagnosis, advanced surgery, and personalised treatment for endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, and other uterine cancers. Every treatment plan is based on the type of cancer, stage of disease, imaging findings, and individual patient needs.
Uterine cancer is one of the most common gynaecological cancers affecting women after menopause. Fortunately, it is often diagnosed early because abnormal vaginal bleeding is usually the first warning sign. Advances in minimally invasive surgery, robotic surgery (where appropriate), radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and multidisciplinary cancer care have significantly improved treatment outcomes.
Patients from New Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and across Delhi NCR consult Dr. Archit Pandit at Fortis Escorts Hospital, New Delhi for expert uterine cancer treatment and second opinions.
What is Uterine Cancer?
Uterine cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the uterus (womb). Most uterine cancers begin in the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, and are known as endometrial cancer. Less commonly, cancer may develop in the muscle or connective tissue of the uterus, known as uterine sarcoma.
The most common symptom of uterine cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding, particularly bleeding after menopause or irregular bleeding between menstrual periods. Because these symptoms often appear early, many women are diagnosed before the cancer spreads beyond the uterus.
Following a comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Archit Pandit develops a personalised treatment plan based on the type of uterine cancer, stage of disease, imaging findings, pathology reports, and the patient’s overall health. Early diagnosis and evidence-based treatment offer the best chance of successful outcomes.
Types of Uterine Cancer
The type of uterine cancer plays an important role in determining the most appropriate treatment and expected outcomes.
Endometrial Cancer
The most common type of uterine cancer, accounting for nearly 90% of cases. It develops in the inner lining of the uterus and is often diagnosed early because it commonly causes abnormal vaginal bleeding.
Uterine Sarcoma
A rare but more aggressive cancer that develops in the muscles or supporting tissues of the uterus. Treatment usually involves surgery and may be combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Uterine Carcinosarcoma
Also known as malignant mixed Müllerian tumour (MMMT), this uncommon and aggressive cancer contains both epithelial and sarcoma components. It often requires a combination of surgery and systemic treatment.
Serous & Clear Cell Carcinoma
These uncommon but high-grade subtypes of endometrial cancer are more aggressive than typical endometrial cancers and usually require multimodality treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Symptoms of Uterine Cancer
Abnormal vaginal bleeding is the most common symptom of uterine cancer. While these symptoms may also occur in non-cancerous gynaecological conditions, persistent or unusual bleeding should always be evaluated by a specialist.
Common Symptoms Include:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding or spotting
- Bleeding after menopause
- Heavy or irregular menstrual periods
- Watery or blood-stained vaginal discharge
- Persistent pelvic pain or pressure
- Lower abdominal pain
- Pain during intercourse
- Difficulty or pain while passing urine
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent fatigue
Important: These symptoms do not always indicate uterine cancer. However, postmenopausal bleeding or persistent abnormal vaginal bleeding should never be ignored. Consult a Uterine Cancer Specialist in Delhi for timely evaluation and accurate diagnosis.
Risk Factors for Uterine Cancer
Several medical, hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle factors can increase the risk of developing uterine cancer, although many women diagnosed have no obvious risk factors.
- Increasing Age – Most uterine cancers occur after the age of 50.
- Obesity – Excess body weight is one of the strongest risk factors for endometrial cancer.
- Hormonal Imbalance – Long-term exposure to estrogen without adequate progesterone increases risk.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Hormonal irregularities associated with PCOS may increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
- Diabetes & High Blood Pressure – These conditions are commonly associated with obesity and a higher cancer risk.
- Family History & Lynch Syndrome – A family history of uterine, colorectal, or ovarian cancer may increase the lifetime risk.
- Never Having Been Pregnant – Women who have never had a full-term pregnancy have a slightly higher risk.
- Tamoxifen Therapy – Long-term tamoxifen use for breast cancer may increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
- Previous Pelvic Radiation – Prior radiation therapy to the pelvis may increase the likelihood of developing uterine cancer.
Understanding these risk factors and seeking medical evaluation for abnormal symptoms can help support early diagnosis and timely uterine cancer treatment.
Can Uterine Cancer Be Detected Early?
Unlike cervical cancer, there is no routine screening test for uterine cancer in women at average risk. However, uterine cancer is often diagnosed early because abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after menopause, is usually the first warning sign.
Women with Lynch syndrome, a strong family history of uterine or colorectal cancer, or those taking tamoxifen may require personalised risk assessment and regular follow-up.
Evaluation May Include:
- Pelvic examination
- Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS)
- Endometrial biopsy
- Hysteroscopy (when indicated)
- Genetic counselling for hereditary cancer syndromes
Early evaluation of persistent or unusual bleeding improves the chances of early diagnosis and successful treatment.
How is Uterine Cancer Diagnosed?
Diagnosing uterine cancer involves confirming the type, stage, and extent of the disease to develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
The diagnostic evaluation may include:
- Clinical Consultation – Assessment of symptoms, medical history, and pelvic examination.
- Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVUS) – Evaluates the uterus and measures endometrial thickness.
- Endometrial Biopsy – Confirms uterine cancer by examining tissue from the uterine lining.
- Hysteroscopy – Examines the inside of the uterus and allows targeted tissue sampling when required.
- CT Scan or MRI – Determines tumour size, spread, and treatment planning.
- Blood Tests – Assess overall health before treatment and surgery.
Early diagnosis helps determine the stage of uterine cancer and guides personalised treatment. Patients from Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, and across Delhi NCR consult Dr. Archit Pandit for comprehensive uterine cancer diagnosis and care.

Stages of Uterine Cancer
The stage of uterine cancer describes how far the disease has spread and helps determine the most appropriate treatment.
Stage I
Cancer is confined to the uterus. Surgery is usually the primary treatment, and outcomes are often excellent.
Stage II
Cancer has spread to the cervix but remains confined to the uterus.
Stage III
Cancer has spread beyond the uterus to nearby tissues, ovaries, vagina, or regional lymph nodes.
Stage IV
Cancer has spread to distant organs such as the bladder, bowel, lungs, or liver. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
Advanced Treatment Options for Uterine Cancer
Treatment is personalised based on the type of uterine cancer, stage of disease, tumour characteristics, and overall health.
Surgery
Surgery is the primary treatment for most uterine cancers and aims to remove the cancer completely.
- Total Hysterectomy – Removal of the uterus.
- Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (BSO) – Removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
- Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy or Lymph Node Dissection – Determines whether cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
- Minimally Invasive or Robotic Surgery – May be recommended in selected patients to support faster recovery and reduced postoperative discomfort.
Other Treatment Options
- Radiation Therapy – May be recommended before or after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence.
- Chemotherapy – Used for advanced, recurrent, or high-risk uterine cancers.
- Hormonal Therapy – Suitable for selected hormone receptor-positive endometrial cancers.
- Targeted Therapy & Immunotherapy – Recommended for eligible patients based on tumour biology and molecular testing.
Life After Uterine Cancer Treatment
Recovery after uterine cancer treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the type of surgery performed, and whether additional treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy are required. Most patients gradually return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks after surgery, although recovery may take longer after more extensive procedures.
Regular follow-up plays an important role in monitoring recovery, detecting recurrence early, and managing any treatment-related side effects.
Follow-up Care May Include:
- Regular clinical examinations
- Imaging tests when required
- Monitoring for recurrence or treatment-related side effects
- Lifestyle, nutritional, and survivorship counselling
- Personalised follow-up based on the stage of cancer
Attending scheduled follow-up appointments helps ensure long-term health and supports early detection if the disease returns.
