Uterine tumour?

My sister has just been diagnosed with uterine cancer. The tumour is quite large, does this mean for certain that it has spread? This is her second bout with uterine cancer.

Big mamma you are the most incincere person i have ever incountered, it is not me it is my older sister, keep your opinions to yourself if thats all you got.

That doesn't mean for sure it's spread, but if it's a recurring tumor of course, it's going to be harder to treat and yes, it probably has spread, cancer spreading will produce different symptoms depending on where it has gotten to. The staging will determine how far it's spread, and how the doctor will treat it (probably with chemo) Uterine cancer is a nasty disease, my best wishes to you and your family.

Staging

Endometrial carcinoma is surgically staged using the FIGO cancer staging system.

* Stage IA: tumor is limited to the endometrium(uterine wall)
* 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

I had a tumour.She really needs to get a hysterectomy.It saved my life.I know it sucks but doctors call the uterus a womb or a tomb.It doesnt mean its spread but she needs to get rid of it.Im so sorry.It is devastating. Im wondering why she didnt get one before but Im assuming she is fairly young or didnt want to give up on having kids.
