In the event that the pathologist analyze endometrial carcinoma, an enlargement and curettage (D&C) might be adequate for a cure in early stages. More propelled stages may require a full hysterectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, or hormonal treatment. Also, in the most progressive cases, palliative care and hospice use might be utilized to introduce a tranquil move.
