Advanced Uterine Cancer Treatment in Chennai — Sringeri Sharada Equitas Hospital

Recognizing the Warning Signs

The most common symptom of uterine cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding. It is crucial to consult a gynecological cancer specialist in Chennai if you experience:

• Post-menopausal bleeding: Any vaginal bleeding after menopause.
• Irregular periods: Bleeding between periods or extremely heavy menstrual flow.
• Pelvic pain: Persistent pain or pressure in the pelvic area.
• Unusual discharge: Watery, blood-tinged, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

Diagnostic Excellence

At Sringeri Sharada Equitas, we are committed to a fast-track diagnostic process, designed to provide accurate answers quickly and minimize patient anxiety. Our comprehensive diagnostic pathway includes:

• Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS): A specialized ultrasound used to visualize the reproductive organs and examine the thickness and texture of the uterine lining (endometrium).
• Endometrial Biopsy: A quick, in-office procedure where a small tissue sample is collected from the lining of the uterus for detailed laboratory analysis.
• Hysteroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a thin, lighted tube (hysteroscope) through the cervix into the uterus. This allows our specialists to visually inspect the uterine cavity in real-time and, if necessary, perform a targeted biopsy or remove polyps/fibroids.
• Advanced Imaging: Utilization of MRI or CT scans when necessary to stage the disease accurately and develop a precise, personalized treatment plan.

Our Comprehensive Treatment Options

Our multidisciplinary team uses evidence-based protocols to provide the highest standard of care:

1. Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy

For many early-stage uterine cancers, we perform Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Hysterectomy. This advanced surgical approach offers:

• Minimal scarring and less post-operative pain.
• Faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
• High surgical precision.

2. Specialized Staging Surgery

In more complex cases, our surgical oncologists perform comprehensive staging, including the removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and relevant lymph nodes to ensure the cancer is thoroughly addressed.

Integrated Adjuvant Therapy

• Following surgery, our medical oncology team may provide targeted chemotherapy, radiation therapy—including advanced brachytherapy—or immunotherapy to help prevent recurrence and ensure long-term wellness. These integrated treatments are tailored to your specific needs to effectively target remaining cells and optimize your recovery.
