Abstract

Uterine cancer, primarily affecting the endometrium, is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Understanding its diagnosis is crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes. This comprehensive guide aims to provide healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers with an in-depth understanding of the diagnostic process for uterine cancer. It explores the various types of uterine cancer, including endometrial carcinoma, uterine sarcoma, and less common subtypes, along with their respective risk factors. The guide details the initial clinical assessment, including medical history and physical examination, followed by diagnostic imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI. It also emphasizes the role of biopsy in confirming a diagnosis, outlining the different biopsy methods available, such as endometrial biopsy, hysteroscopy, and dilation and curettage (D&C). Additionally, the guide discusses the importance of staging and grading in determining treatment options and prognosis. By synthesizing current research and clinical practices, this guide serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of uterine cancer diagnosis, ultimately fostering informed decision-making and improved patient care.
