Medicinal Treatment
To destroy cancer cells, prevent recurrence, and manage symptoms, often used in conjunction with surgery or radiation.
- Chemotherapy: Using powerful drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body, often administered intravenously.
- Hormone Therapy: Medications that block or reduce the effects of hormones that can fuel the growth of certain types of womb cancer.
- Targeted Therapy: Drugs designed to specifically target vulnerabilities in cancer cells, often with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
- Immunotherapy: Utilizing the body's own immune system to fight cancer cells, particularly for advanced or recurrent cases.

Surgical Treatment
To remove cancerous tissue, determine the extent of the disease (staging), and prevent further spread.
- Total Hysterectomy: Surgical removal of the uterus and cervix, which is the primary treatment for most early-stage womb cancers.
- Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy: Removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries, often performed concurrently with a hysterectomy.
- Lymphadenectomy: Removal of nearby lymph nodes to check for cancer spread and help determine the stage of the disease.
- Debulking Surgery: For advanced cancers, surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible to improve the effectiveness of other treatments.
