He or she may even want to do a biopsy so that they can examine some tissue from your uterine lining. There are four stages of uterine cancer and it is best if caught in Stage 1. Sometimes these exams and biopsies are harder to do if a person is obese.
The doc will suggest this as a solution in stage1 of uterine cancer . It is likely that you will go through two treatments at one time to fight uterine cancer. For example, you may have surgery and then your physician will want you to have radiation treatments also just to be on the safe side.
A uterine biopsy, medically referred to as an endometrial biopsy, is a procedure performed by a doctor to collect tissue cell samples from the lining of the endometrium, or uterus. By collecting these tissue samples and then examining them under a microscope, a doctor can determine the source or cause of many uterine problems.
In most cases, a uterine biopsy can be performed in a doctor’s office, or your doctor may schedule the procedure at a hospital or other medical facility. There are several ways a uterine biopsy can be attained, most of which will involve minimal discomfort and no anesthesia. One method, called a D&C, which stands for dilation and curettage, is done with general or local anesthesia. In all methods of tissue cell collection, an instrument is passed through the cervix and into the uterus for collection.
