Pierre, SD

I understand that nobody wants to answer this question, I have received no treatment and don’t want to try any new treatments. I am still waiting for someone to tell me it’s a joke. I feel fine, other than the bleeding, bowel and bladder control issues. This is basically a social problem and not a medical concern as of yet.

I encourage you to talk to your oncologist. There are so many factors that will play into your specific prognosis. And while the bowel and bladder issues may seem more of a “social problem than a medical concern”, we can ALL here assure you that endometrial cancer diagnosis is in fact a VERY serious concern.

The longer that treatment is delayed in the hopes that someone will “tell you it’s a joke”, the poorer the prognosis will be.

I respect every woman’s right to make their own decisions and choices in their own path. And if your decision/choice is to do nothing, I support that too. However please speak to your oncologist and maybe even get a second, or even third opinion from a GYN-oncologist(s) and know all options and the implications (pros and cons) of each.

What is the prognosis and survival rate for untreated stage 3 endometrial cancer?

While specific data for untreated endometrial cancer is not available in the search results, the overall five-year relative survival rate for regional (stage 3) endometrial cancer with treatment is approximately 70%. Without treatment, survival rates would be significantly lower. It's important to note that survival rates are only estimates and cannot predict individual outcomes. Many factors influence prognosis, including:
• Age
• Overall health
• Other health conditions
• Response to treatment

Please discuss treatment options with your healthcare team, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation. Modern treatments have advanced significantly and can help improve outcomes and quality of life.
