What Is Endometrial Cancer (Uterine Cancer)?
Endometrial cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. It is the most common gynaecological cancer in postmenopausal women, though it can occur at any age. The cancer develops when endometrial cells grow uncontrollably, forming a tumour. If left untreated, uterine cancer can spread to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, lymph nodes, and distant organs.
The good news: when detected early, endometrial cancer is highly treatable — with survival rates exceeding 90% for Stage I cases managed by an experienced gynecologic oncologist in Dehradun.
Symptoms of Endometrial Cancer
The most common and early symptom of endometrial cancer is abnormal uterine bleeding. Women in Dehradun and surrounding areas should seek immediate evaluation if they experience any of the following warning signs.
Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding
The most critical warning sign, especially bleeding after menopause.
Bleeding Between Periods
Unexpected vaginal bleeding between menstrual cycles in premenopausal women.
Heavy or Prolonged Periods
Menstrual bleeding that is heavier or lasts longer than normal cycles.
Pelvic Pain or Pressure
Persistent pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvic area.
Pain During Intercourse
Discomfort or pain during sexual activity (dyspareunia).
Unusual Vaginal Discharge

Request an Urgent Appointment →Causes & Risk Factors of Endometrial Cancer
Endometrial cancer is strongly linked to hormonal imbalance, particularly prolonged exposure to oestrogen without adequate progesterone. Understanding your risk factors can help with early detection, timely screening, and preventive care.
If you have multiple risk factors, early evaluation is highly recommended.
Consider genetic cancer testing and expert consultation with Dr. Yamini Kansal, a leading gynaecological oncologist in Dehradun, for personalised risk assessment and prevention planning.
Diagnosis of Endometrial Cancer
Doctors use several tests and procedures to diagnose endometrial cancer and determine the extent of the disease.
Pelvic Examination
A physical examination to detect abnormalities in the uterus and other reproductive organs.
Transvaginal Ultrasound
This imaging test helps evaluate the thickness of the endometrial lining and detect abnormalities.
Endometrial Biopsy
A small sample of the uterine lining is taken and examined under a microscope to confirm cancer.
Hysteroscopy
A thin camera is inserted into the uterus to closely examine the endometrial lining.
CT Scan or MRI
Advanced imaging tests help determine whether cancer has spread to nearby tissues or organs.
Prevention & Early Detection of Endometrial Cancer
While endometrial cancer cannot always be prevented, certain lifestyle changes and early screening strategies can significantly reduce risk and help detect the disease at an early, more treatable stage.
Early detection saves lives — consult a specialist at the first sign of symptoms.

Chemotherapy drugs help kill cancer cells and prevent their spread to other parts of the body.
Hormone Therapy
Hormonal treatments may be recommended for certain types of endometrial cancer to slow or stop tumor growth.
