Diagnostics and Tests
Endometrial cancer can be diagnosed at any stage. If women experience any irregular vaginal bleeding, they should consult their physician immediately. Early-stage diagnosis is beneficial because it will improve the outcomes for most women.
If a primary care physician suspects endometrial cancer might be the cause of a patient’s symptoms, they will make a referral to a gynecologist or gynecologic oncologist. These specialists will use one or more of the following methods to diagnose endometrial cancer.
In collaboration with other specialists, a patient’s physician will likely order one or more diagnostic tests and review the results at a weekly Tumor Board meeting. This interdepartmental review process guides recommendations for treatment. In consultations with the patient and their primary care physician, the Cancer Care Center team plans the best course of treatment based on the type and stage of the patient’s cancer and their overall health.
Our Team
BMC’s comprehensive endometrial cancer team includes physicians who work in surgical oncology specific to gynecology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology.
