What happens if you don't treat uterine cancer?

If uterine cancer is not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, it can result in serious health complications. Without treatment, the cancer cells may spread to other parts of the body (metastasize) and cause other complications such as pain, anemia, infection, infertility or even death. After diagnosis and staging of the cancer, your doctor will determine which treatment options are best for you based on factors such as type of uterine cancer and your overall health. Treatment options depend on stage at diagnosis but typically involve surgery to remove tumors or nearby lymph nodes followed by chemotherapy, radiation therapy or hormone therapy. It is important to note that most uterine cancers are treated successfully if detected early enough; therefore regular checkups should be arranged with your healthcare provider in order to diagnose any potential abnormalities during their earliest stages.
