Endometrial cancer detected in its early stages can be cured with surgery and close follow-up. Treatment choices depend on where the cancer is and how much it has grown. Treatment may include one or more of the following:
- Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy surgery to remove the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and sometimes the pelvic lymph nodes
- Lymphadenectomy surgery to remove lymph nodes
- Radiation therapy to kill cancer cells
- Progestin hormone therapy to block cancer growth
- Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells
