  Surgery is one of the most important and commonly recommended treatment options for endometrial cancer, especially when the disease is diagnosed at an early stage. In many cases, endometrial cancer is limited to the uterus at the time of diagnosis, which makes surgical treatment highly effective. The main purpose of surgery is to remove the cancer completely and prevent it from spreading to nearby organs or other parts of the body. Most surgical procedures involve removing the uterus along with the ovaries and fallopian tubes, as this significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. Surgery is usually advised when biopsy results confirm endometrial cancer or when imaging tests show that the tumor can be safely removed. It may also be recommended for women who experience persistent abnormal uterine bleeding, especially after menopause, and do not respond to other treatments. The decision to proceed with surgery depends on several factors, including the stage and grade of cancer, the...

  Ovarian cancer is a serious health condition that can affect women at different stages of life, but some women are more vulnerable due to specific risk factors. One of the most important factors is family history. Women who have close relatives with ovarian or breast cancer have a higher chance of developing the disease, especially when inherited genetic mutations are present. Age also plays a significant role, as ovarian cancer is most commonly diagnosed in women over the age of 50, particularly after menopause. Hormonal and reproductive factors can further increase the risk. Women who experienced early menstruation, late menopause, infertility, or who have never been pregnant may have prolonged exposure to estrogen, which can influence ovarian cell changes. Medical conditions such as endometriosis and obesity are also linked to a higher risk, along with lifestyle habits like smoking and lack of physical activity. Since ovarian cancer often develops with subtle or unclear sympto...

Breast cancer treatment is a big step toward recovery, but many patients and families still have concerns about life after treatment. One common question is whether breast cancer can return after successful treatment. In some cases, breast cancer can come back, which is known as recurrence. It may reappear in the same breast, nearby lymph nodes, or sometimes in other parts of the body. The risk of recurrence depends on factors such as the stage of cancer, type of tumor, and the treatment plan followed. Even after completing treatment, a small number of cancer cells can remain inactive in the body and become active later. This is why regular follow-up visits and medical checkups are very important. Doctors may recommend periodic scans, blood tests, or physical examinations to monitor your health. Early detection of recurrence allows timely treatment and improves long-term outcomes. Following a healthy lifestyle, taking prescribed medicines, managing stress, and attending all follow-up a...
