Treatments The stage of cancer is determined.
International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) adopted a staging and grading (G1-G3) system.
FIGO stages are:
Stage I. Cancer is limited to the uterus. 70%
Stage II. Cancer involves the uterus and cervix. 10-15%
Stage III. Cancer has spread out of the uterus but restricted to pelvic region.
Stage IV. Cancer has spread to the bladder, bowel, or other distant locations.

Prevention Women report any abnormal vaginal bleeding or
discharge to the doctor.
Controlling obesity, blood pressure, and diabetes help reduce risk.
Using birth control helps prevent endometrium cancer.
Taking medication that produces estrogen ask about receiving progesterone.
If you are at risk, get screened regularly.
