What is stage 2B endometrial cancer?
Stage 2B endometrial cancer is a specific substage where nonaggressive cancer has either spread to cells outside the main tumor or has grown into the deeper layers of the cervix. At this stage, the cancer is still confined to the uterus and cervix area.
In stage 2B, the cancer hasn't spread to lymph nodes or distant parts of the body. The tumor cells grow and spread more slowly compared to aggressive types.
Treatment for stage 2B typically includes surgery followed by radiation therapy. Most people with stage 2B endometrial cancer receive radiation therapy unless there's a medical reason preventing it, which helps eliminate any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.
