Post menopausal hormonal replacement therapy Estero gen alone increases the risk whereas if it is combined with progesterone then there is hardly any risk so it should ideally be taken in combined firm. Obesity Fat in the body is the source of excess of esterogen especially in post menopausal females. This excess estero gen increases […]
Integration of Molecular Subtypes in Endometrial Carcinoma (Uterus Cancer)
Clinical Significance The integration of molecular classification into clinical practice has become pivotal for the risk stratification of endometrial carcinoma (EC). Key guidelines and systems, such as those from the World Health Organization (WHO), European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO), and others, now emphasize the relevance of molecular subtypes in managing EC. This approach offers […]
How to Prevent Endometrial Cancer (Uterus Cancer)
1. Use of Hormonal contraceptives Estrogen alone increases the risk of endometrial cancer because of its proliferative effect but combination with progestin decreases the risk of endometrial cancer by 30 to 40% and progestin only pill has much more protective effect. This protective effect persists for many years. 2. More the number of pregnancies more […]
Histologic Types of Endometrial Carcinoma (Uterus Cancer)
The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies endometrial carcinoma (EC) into several histological subtypes, each with distinct characteristics and implications for diagnosis and treatment. 1. Endometrioid Carcinoma Prevalence: Endometrioid carcinoma is the most common form, representing 75-80% of all EC cases. Histopathology: This type features tall columnar cells that line closely packed glands, often without intervening […]

The Role of Colonoscopy in Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, but early detection and intervention can significantly reduce its incidence and improve survival rates. Colonoscopy is a crucial tool in the prevention, early detection, and management of colon cancer. This article explores the role of colonoscopy in combating this potentially deadly disease. Colonoscopy: An […]
Genetic Conditions Associated with Colorectal Cancers
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant health concern worldwide, ranking as one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. While environmental factors and lifestyle choices play critical roles in the development of CRC, genetic predispositions are also crucial. Various inherited genetic conditions markedly increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer. This article explores some of […]
Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms of Colon Cancer: A Guide to Early Detection
Introduction: Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it ranks third in terms of cancer incidence and second in cancer mortality globally. However, early detection greatly improves the chances of successful treatment and survival. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of […]
How to Prevent Permanent Stoma in Low Rectal Cancers?
Colorectal cancer, particularly when affecting the lower rectum, presents unique challenges in treatment due to its proximity to the anal sphincter. Preserving sphincter function and avoiding the need for a permanent stoma (colostomy or ileostomy) is a crucial goal in managing low rectal cancers. Several strategies have been developed to achieve this objective, each tailored […]
