Endometrial cancer

Advanced womb cancer

Advanced womb cancer means it has spread to other parts of the body. Treatment might help to control symptoms.

What is advanced womb cancer?

Sometimes womb cancer is advanced when it is first diagnosed. Or the cancer has come back and spread after treatment for the original cancer.

Treatment for womb cancer

Your treatment depends on several factors. These include what type of womb cancer you have, how big it is, whether it has spread (the stage) and the grade. It also depends on your general health.

Living with womb cancer

There is support available during and after treatment to help you cope. This includes support from your clinical nurse specialist, cancer charities, community services, and family and friends.
