The Staging and Video Explanation of Uterine Sarcoma

Uterine sarcoma is cancerous growth of soft tissues of the uterus and is fairly rare. Only about 4% of all malignancies of the uterine body are uterine sarcomas (the rest is endometrial cancer). In classical medicine the cause of the lesion is not known, however, in the case of endometrial stromal sarcoma described on this page, astrologically, the cause of this particular uterine cancer is 5 years long transit to the natal Moon, in the house of surgery and terminal illnesses.

In general, you will be more susceptible to this rare type of uterine cancer if the following conditions are met:

-- you have already had a history of pelvic radiation;

-- if the menopause has already started;

-- if you were taking tamoxifen long-term.

The Signs and Symptoms of Uterine Sarcoma

-- Unusual or postmenopausal bleeding.

-- Pelvic pain, pressure, and unusual discharge.

-- A nonpregnant uterus that enlarges quickly.

Diagnosing Uterine Sarcoma

To diagnose uterine sarcoma, several procedures may be needed:

-- physical examination by your doctor,

-- medical imaging such as ultrasound, CAT scan, MRI,

-- tissue diagnosis by biopsy, hysteroscopy, or D&C.

Please note that Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer, not for detection of uterine sarcoma.

Staging

Uterine sarcoma is staged like endometrial carcinoma at time of surgery, using the FIGO cancer staging system.

Stage IA	tumor is limited to the endometrium.
Stage IB	invasion of less than half the myometrium.
Stage IC	invasion of more than half the myometrium.
Stage IIA	endocervical glandular involvement only.
Stage IIB	cervical stromal invasion.
Stage IIIA	tumor invades serosa or adnexa, or malignant peritoneal cytology.
Stage IIIB	vaginal metastasis.
Stage IIIC	metastasis to pelvic or para-aortic lymph nodes.
Stage IVA	invasion of the bladder or bowel.
Stage IVB	distant metastasis, including intraabdominal or inguinal lymph nodes.

Therapy for the Uterine Sarcoma

The following kinds of therapy are used in classical medicine, alone or in combination:

Surgery	if feasible, involving total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.
Radiation therapy	using high-dose x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
Chemotherapy	using drugs to kill cancer cells.
Hormonal therapy	using female hormones to kill cancer cells.

How To Fight the Cancer?

There are many ways to fight your cancer but all presuppose that you change your life and lifestyle, epsecially how and what you eat. Also, the more healing techniques you apply, the better off will you be. As a minimum, use Reiki, flower remedies and EFT to get help where it matters the most: in the sphere of emotions. Once your emotions are in order, everything else will be (much) easier.

There are, of course, many other therapies and therapists that might be able to help. One such alternative therapy is hypnosis and I wouldn't be even mentioning it here if it were not for the personality of the therapist...
