Stage 2 endometrial cancer means the cancer has spread to the cervical stroma (connective tissue of the cervix) but remains confined to the uterus. About 67% of endometrial cancers are diagnosed at a localized stage, and stage 2 has an encouraging 95% five-year survival rate.
The staging can be broken down into three substages:
• Stage 2A: Slow-growing cancer affecting the uterus and cervix surface
• Stage 2B: Slow-growing cancer with cells outside main tumor or deeper in cervix
• Stage 2C: Fast-growing cancer that has spread into the uterine muscle wall The standard treatment approach for stage 2 typically involves:
• Radical hysterectomy (removal of uterus and surrounding tissues)
• Removal of lymph nodes in pelvis and around aorta
• Follow-up radiation therapy
• Possible chemotherapy to prevent recurrence
Your specific treatment plan will be tailored based on your tumor grade and risk category. Regular communication with your cancer care team is essential to understand your particular situation and treatment options.
