Malignant
change of the endometrial lining of the uterine cavity causes uterine cancer.
This cancer is the most common gynecologic cancers. Over 35000 women are
diagnosed each year across the world (Most women diagnosed with uterine cancer
have their menopause, while only 5% of cases are diagnosed in women under 40
years old). The incidence is on a slow rise secondary to the obesity epidemic.
The most common subtype is endometrioid adenocarcinoma. This cancer is the most
frequent occurring in the female genital tract. Immunotherapy can be helpful.
Until,
the cause endometrial cancer is not known exactly. But there are some factors
that were identified that might increase or decrease the risk of developing
this cancer. Many of the risk factors for uterine cancer relate to the body’s exposure
to the female sex hormone such as estrogen or to the balance between types of
the two female sex hormones that are estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen
without progesterone to balance it increases the risk of this cancer. This
cancer is much more common in women after the menopause as the body stops
making progesterone, but they are still produces a small amount of estrogen.
Several
risk factors are identified for this cancer that involve age, obesity, diabetes
and high blood, infertility and nulliparity, menstrual history, endometrial
hyperplasia, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), family history, drugs (Tamoxifen
and Raloxifene), chemicals (Talcum powder), diet, and physical activity.
The
most common symptom of uterine cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding after
menopause. Post menopausal bleeding, which is a key symptom of womb cancer in
most cases. Vaginal discharge from pink and watery to dark and foul smelling.
Only a small number of women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding will actually
have womb cancer. Less common symptoms of womb cancer can include lower
abdominal pain or discomfort, and
dysparonia.
Immunotherapy
based immunotherapeutic cancer agents play an important role in the treatment
of uterine cancer. Bevacizumab (Monoclonal antibody drug), Sunitinib, Sorafenib, VEGF-Trap,Trabectedin,
Temsirolimus,
and much more immunotherapeutic cancer agents are running in the various phases
(phase 0, phase 1, phase2, and phase 3) of the clinical trials for evaluation
of kind of study for Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the
treatment of uterine cancer.
