Hello

Thanks for posting the query.

The report is negative for cervical cancer, it is the report of pap's smear which is showing endometrial cells, which is an abnormal finding.

The invasion of tumour depends upon the involvement of endometrium, myometrium (Layers of uterus), cervix, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes and lymph nodes, which are usually paraaortic (present on either side of aorta) and pelvic lymph nodes.

After opening the abdomen, they remove the uterus and cervix along with ovaries and tubes which is called XXXXXXX (Total abdominal Hysterectomy) with BSO (Bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy) procedure.

During the operation, surgeon searches for the lymph nodes and takes the biopsy from them, as well as omentum (fold of the tissue lining the abdomen that surrounds the organs) if it is involved.

The report is showing grade II, means it must be upto myometrium.
Cervix is not involved and on examination, they have written the uterus is mobile which means, there are no dense adhesions and involvement of gut (intestine) and bladder.

To be more accurate, CT scan and MRI is to be done.

Her blood reports are alright except the bilirubin which is showing 6 and letter 'f' is written in front, I couldn't get it as we count it as a high level. Please reconfirm it. Her haemoglobin is fine, so she can go through hysterectomy followed by radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy is decided by an oncologist plus gynecologist.

The most common endometrial cancer are adenocarcinomas in which prognosis is good, in stage two, 88% survival rate for 5 yrs.

I hope, I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

I wish your mother as speedy recovery.

Regards.

Hello

Welcome back


Survival rate is counted on whole world population and statistics
It may vary according to the general health of the patient and treatment plan.
FIGO means International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics , according to that your mother's staging is grade two means it has spread upto cervix but not oustside
If they mention that survival rate for a cancer is 88% this means 88 out of 100 people initially diagnosed with that cancer would be alive after 5 years. Survival rate does not indicate if a cancer is cured or if treatment is completed.

Take care
Best wishes and speedy recovery for your mother
Any further query is most welcome
