Uterine Cancer

Uterine Cancer: Diagnosis, Treatment Options, and Access to Leading Care in Germany

What Is Uterine Cancer?

Uterine cancer (also known as endometrial cancer) is a type of cancer that begins in the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It is the most common gynecological cancer in women, primarily affecting postmenopausal women but increasingly seen in younger patients as well.

Early detection and expert treatment are key to successful outcomes. Germany is globally recognized for its advanced cancer care, and at WEGOVITA, we help international patients access world-class uterine cancer treatment with confidence and ease.


Key Facts and Global Statistics

  • Uterine cancer is the 6th most common cancer in women worldwide

  • Over 417,000 new cases are diagnosed annually (Globocan 2022)

  • The average age of diagnosis is around 60, though 10–15% of cases occur before age 50

  • 5-year survival rate is over 90% when detected early, but drops below 20% in advanced stages

  • Obesity, diabetes, hormone therapy, and genetic factors (like Lynch syndrome) increase risk


Signs and Symptoms

Most uterine cancers are diagnosed at an early stage due to noticeable symptoms:

  • Abnormal vaginal bleeding, especially after menopause

  • Bleeding between periods

  • Pelvic pain or pressure

  • Watery or bloody vaginal discharge

  • Pain during intercourse

“Any unexpected vaginal bleeding in postmenopausal women should be investigated promptly.”


Diagnostic Methods in Germany

German cancer centers use advanced tools for early and accurate diagnosis:

  • Transvaginal ultrasound – to evaluate uterine thickness and abnormalities

  • Endometrial biopsy – confirms the presence of cancer cells

  • Hysteroscopy – camera-guided examination of the uterus

  • MRI and CT scans – determine the extent of spread

  • Molecular/genetic profiling – guides personalized treatment in complex or high-risk cases


Types of Uterine Cancer

  1. Endometrioid adenocarcinoma (most common, hormone-sensitive)

  2. Serous carcinoma (more aggressive)

  3. Clear cell carcinoma (rare, high-grade)

  4. Uterine sarcoma (originates in muscle or connective tissue, rare but aggressive)


Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the stage, type, and grade of cancer, as well as the patient’s age, fertility goals, and overall health.

1. Surgery

Standard first-line treatment:

  • Total hysterectomy with removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes

  • Lymph node dissection to check for metastasis

  • Minimally invasive or robotic-assisted procedures available in leading German centers

2. Radiation Therapy
  • External beam radiation (EBRT) or brachytherapy

  • Often used after surgery or for inoperable tumors

3. Hormone Therapy
  • For slow-growing cancers and fertility preservation

  • Progestins or hormone blockers

4. Chemotherapy
  • For high-risk or late-stage tumors

  • Common regimens include carboplatin and paclitaxel

5. Targeted and Immunotherapy
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., pembrolizumab)

  • Targeted therapies for MSI-H or HER2-positive cancers

6. Biological Immunotherapy (Complementary Approach)

Germany also integrates biological immunotherapy based on organic substances, vitamins, and natural immune modulators. This supportive therapy may:

  • Improve immune resilience

  • Reduce side effects from conventional treatments

  • Enhance overall recovery and well-being

  • Includes vitamin infusions (e.g., Vitamin C, D), plant-based compounds, and homeopathic protocols

Offered in specialized German cancer clinics in combination with conventional treatment—never as a replacement.

Innovation Highlight: Radio-Guided Surgery for Uterine Cancer

Modern uterine cancer surgery in Germany often incorporates radio-guided techniques to increase precision and improve outcomes—especially in lymph node evaluation and residual cancer detection.

Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping with Radioactive Tracers

One of the most advanced and widely used methods is Sentinel Lymph Node (SLN) Mapping, which uses radioactive substances (e.g., Technetium-99m) and/or fluorescent dyes (like indocyanine green) to detect the first lymph nodes where cancer may spread.

How It Works:

  • radioactive tracer is injected near the uterus before or during surgery.

  • gamma probe helps the surgeon locate sentinel lymph nodes.

  • These nodes are removed and analyzed to determine if cancer has spread.

  • If no cancer is found, extensive lymph node removal can often be avoided—reducing risks and recovery time.

Benefits:

  • More accurate staging

  • Fewer surgical complications

  • Often used in minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgeries

  • Especially valuable in early-stage endometrial cancer

Available in Leading German Clinics

Germany is a leader in applying this technology in routine gynecologic oncology surgeries. Top centers combine radio-guided mapping with robotic precision tools and 3D imaging systems to deliver state-of-the-art care.

“Thanks to the sentinel mapping, I avoided major lymph node surgery. Everything was done with robotic precision, and my recovery was quick and smooth.”
— Anna L., 52, from Kuwait


Uterine Cancer Outcomes in Germany

Germany is among the top countries for cancer survival thanks to advanced technology, early diagnosis, and multidisciplinary teams.
