Uterine sarcoma is a cancer that has spread outside the uterus. This cancer has not yet spread to the rectum or the urinary bladder, lymph nodes, or other organs. However, it has spread to the outer surface of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, the vagina, and the tissues surrounding the uterus. Symptoms of uterine sarcoma are often difficult to identify because they are not accompanied by symptoms.

During your visit with your healthcare provider, a physical examination will take place to evaluate your overall health. Your provider will also ask about your medical history and perform pelvic exams. Your provider will examine your vagina and cervix, as well as the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Your healthcare provider will insert a gloved finger into your vagina to feel for abnormalities or signs of cancer. During the exam, your healthcare provider may use a Pap test to obtain a sample of cells from your cervix. Depending on the results of these tests, your healthcare provider may decide to begin treatment.

Symptoms of uterine sarcoma include the following: bleeding in the cervix, pain in the pelvic region, and abnormal cellular growth of the cervix. Fortunately, uterine sarcoma is curable through surgery, but the disease may recur if the treatment fails. In some cases, a small sample of tissue from the uterus is taken and examined under a microscope to identify any abnormalities. Seattle Cancer Care Alliance has a pathologist devoted to gynecologic cancers. Endometrial biopsy involves insertion of a straw-like tube into the uterus and removal of the endometrium for pathological analysis.

Patients should be evaluated for uterine sarcoma if they have previous uterine polyps. If this has occurred, the patient should be referred to a doctor to ensure that a diagnosis has been made. A doctor may suggest that a power morcellation is required to remove the uterus and prevent further spread of the disease. In some cases, power morcellation is the preferred treatment in these cases.

The most common symptom of uterine sarcoma is abnormal bleeding. Diagnosis is made through endometrial biopsy, which is an important diagnostic procedure for uterine sarcomas. Surgical intervention for uterine sarcoma is typically performed after myomectomy or hysterectomy. Patients with uterine sarcoma usually undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. In cases where the cancer has spread to critical stages, treatment includes chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

When chemotherapy is chosen to treat uterine sarcoma, the treatment aims to kill cancer cells while inhibiting the growth of healthy cells. In the event that treatment fails to eliminate the cancer, hormones will be used in the future. These hormones include progestins and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. In addition, women undergoing this treatment may be at increased risk of colon, breast, and bladder cancer.

The preoperative diagnosis of uterine sarcoma is difficult due to the fact that most cases are discovered incidentally following hysterectomy or morcellation of fibroids. However, imaging methods are not sensitive enough to discriminate between leukemia and uterine sarcoma. This is a difficult diagnosis to make, so women with suspected sarcoma should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Some of the most common symptoms of uterine cancer are a menstrual period and a high risk of breast cancer. Regardless of age, women with long menstrual cycles may have more risk of developing the disease. In addition, a history of uterine sarcoma may raise a woman's risk of developing the disease in the future. If this cancer is suspected, a healthcare provider may recommend a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

Leiomyosarcomas often begin in smooth muscle cells that line small blood vessels. However, the cancer can begin anywhere, including the bones or other internal organs. Leiomyosarcoma in the uterus may cause symptoms such as weight loss and nausea. It may even cause vomiting. In some cases, the cancer can spread outside the uterus, including the lymph nodes.
