What is Uterine Cancer?

Uterine cancer, most commonly endometrial cancer, arising from the lining of the uterus (endometrium), is the most prevalent gynaecological cancer in many developed countries and is rising in incidence in Indian cities like Pune. It most frequently occurs in post-menopausal women. Fortunately, because abnormal uterine bleeding is an early symptom, many cases are diagnosed at a curable stage.

Dr. Rahul Wagh is an experienced uterine cancer surgeon in Pune offering comprehensive surgical management including laparoscopic total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) and pelvic lymph node dissection. He performs these procedures using minimally invasive techniques wherever possible, offering patients in Pune faster recovery, less pain, and shorter hospital stays.

At his Baner clinics, Dr. Wagh evaluates each patient with transvaginal ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, MRI pelvis, and staging CT to determine the most appropriate surgical approach. For high-risk endometrial cancers, he coordinates adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy with oncologists in Pune to ensure comprehensive care.
