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.
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
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.”
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
Endometrioid adenocarcinoma (most common, hormone-sensitive)
Serous carcinoma (more aggressive)
Clear cell carcinoma (rare, high-grade)
Uterine sarcoma (originates in muscle or connective tissue, rare but aggressive)
Treatment depends on the stage, type, and grade of cancer, as well as the patient’s age, fertility goals, and overall health.
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
External beam radiation (EBRT) or brachytherapy
Often used after surgery or for inoperable tumors
For slow-growing cancers and fertility preservation
Progestins or hormone blockers
For high-risk or late-stage tumors
Common regimens include carboplatin and paclitaxel
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., pembrolizumab)
Targeted therapies for MSI-H or HER2-positive cancers
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.
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.
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:
A radioactive tracer is injected near the uterus before or during surgery.
A 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.
More accurate staging
Fewer surgical complications
Often used in minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgeries
Especially valuable in early-stage endometrial cancer
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
Germany is among the top countries for cancer survival thanks to advanced technology, early diagnosis, and multidisciplinary teams.
| Stage | 5-Year Survival Rate | Surgical Success Rate | Average Hospital Stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage I (localized) | ~92% | >95% | 3–5 days (minimally invasive) |
| Stage II–III | 60–75% | ~80–90% | 5–7 days |
| Stage IV (advanced) | ~17–30% | Palliative/symptom control | 5–10 days |
