Endometrial Cancer Specialist in Pune, Dr. Rahul Wagh
Endometrial cancer arises from the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus. It is the most common gynaecological malignancy in high-income countries and is rising in India, particularly in urban areas like Pune, driven by increasing rates of obesity, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances. The most important early warning sign is abnormal uterine bleeding, which means most cases are detected at a curable, early stage.

The most important early warning sign is abnormal uterine bleeding, which means most cases are detected at a curable, early stage.
Dr. Rahul Wagh is an experienced endometrial cancer surgeon in Pune who performs laparoscopic total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and surgical staging as the primary treatment for endometrial cancer. He incorporates sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping using ICG dye to accurately stage the disease while minimising the risks associated with full lymphadenectomy.
At his Baner clinics, Dr. Wagh evaluates all endometrial cancer patients with MRI pelvis for myometrial invasion depth and cervical extension, enabling accurate pre-operative staging and risk stratification. Adjuvant treatment decisions, radiation, chemotherapy, or both, are made in coordination with medical and radiation oncologists in Pune.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Endometrial Cancer in its early stages may not cause obvious symptoms, which is why recognising these warning signs and seeking prompt evaluation in Pune is critical:

2. Vaginal bleeding between periods in pre-menopausal women
3. Pelvic pain or pressure
4. Unusual vaginal discharge
5. Difficulty urinating
6. Bloating or a feeling of fullness
7. Weight gain particularly around the abdomen
8. Abnormal endometrial cells on Pap smear

Frequently Asked Questions, Endometrial Cancer in Pune
Not always, but it must always be investigated urgently. Endometrial cancer is the most important diagnosis to exclude in post-menopausal bleeding. Most cases are diagnosed early because of this symptom.
SLN mapping uses a dye injected into the cervix to identify the first lymph node(s) draining the uterus. These are removed and examined, avoiding the need to remove all pelvic lymph nodes while still accurately staging the disease.
Some risk factors are modifiable. Maintaining a healthy weight, managing diabetes and blood pressure, and discussing hormone replacement therapy risks with your doctor can reduce endometrial cancer risk.
For low-risk endometrial cancer, surgery alone may be curative. High-risk cases (high grade, deep invasion, serous or clear cell histology, positive lymph nodes) may require chemotherapy and/or radiation after surgery.
