What happens after recurrence of endometrial cancer?

summary

One of my colleagues in the same department was diagnosed with endometrial cancer last year. He underwent surgical resection and then chemotherapy. He has always paid special attention to it in his life. Unfortunately, when he went to the hospital for reexamination last month, he still found that endometrial cancer recurred, so I want to know something like him. Can this situation be cured. Let's take a look at the following.

What happens after recurrence of endometrial cancer?

First: if the cancer relapses, it proves that the treatment has failed. In fact, we can continue the treatment after relapse. I just need to use systemic chemotherapy at this time. Many patients still recover after active treatment after relapse.

Second: Although the probability of this situation is relatively small in clinical practice, it does not mean that there are no cases, so patients should be full of confidence in their own condition, and you should fight against the disease with a positive and optimistic attitude in order to achieve good results. So don't give up.

Third: radiotherapy is now an effective way to treat endometrial cancer. But if radiotherapy alone, there are also very strict indications. Generally speaking, it is only suitable for the elderly and frail, or those who have serious medical complications and can not tolerate surgery or contraindication surgery.
