Best Endometrial Cancer Treatment in Hyderabad
Post-surgical radiation and brachytherapy for uterine/endometrial cancers.
Overview
Endometrial cancer (uterine cancer) is the most common gynecological cancer. Treatment typically begins with surgery (hysterectomy), followed by radiation therapy to eliminate any remaining microscopic cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is radiation always needed after surgery for endometrial cancer?
Not always. It depends on the stage, grade, and pathological findings from your surgery. Dr. Rahul DL determines the need for adjuvant radiation based on risk factors to prevent the cancer from returning.
What is Vaginal Cuff Brachytherapy?
It is a localized form of internal radiation where a small cylinder is placed in the vagina to deliver a targeted dose of radiation to the top of the vagina (the cuff) where the uterus used to be. It is highly effective and has minimal side effects.
How long is the recovery from endometrial cancer radiation?
Brachytherapy sessions are done as an outpatient procedure and have virtually no downtime. External pelvic radiation (IMRT) takes a few weeks, and mild fatigue or bowel changes typically resolve within a month after treatment.
