Did you know❓
1️⃣ Uterine sarcomas are very rare and aggressive tumors, and there is limited information on the most effective treatment options.
2️⃣ Surgery is the primary treatment, with the best outcomes seen when the entire tumor is successfully removed. Thus, an experienced surgeon is essential.
3️⃣ Additional treatments, including radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy, show mixed results. Many clinical trials are focused on improving and exploring these options further. A medical oncologist and specialized gynecologic oncologist can help determine which option is best for your case.
4️⃣ While evidence is limited, recent studies suggest that adding hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) may improve progression-free and overall survival in select patients.
Arm yourself—and your loved ones—with the information that matters.
Even the most proactive patients and advocates can only act on what they know. Help us spread the word about uterine cancer!
