Uterine Cancer

If you have uterine or endometrial cancer, you want the care that will give you the best chance for recovery. Fortunately, you’ll find it right here, close to home.

You can be assured of superior medical care and practical help during treatment and recovery of uterine cancer. Cancers that occur in each part of the uterus have their own names, such as cervical cancer or endometrial cancer. However, they are sometimes defined as uterine cancer because the structure is part of the uterus. 

A fellowship-trained gynecologic oncologist is the best type of doctor to treat uterine cancer. While these specialists are few in number, we have gynecologic oncologists as part of the Lehigh Valley Topper Cancer Institute. They provide you with the most advanced care, including access to treatments that aren’t available elsewhere. 

We use a multidisciplinary team approach to uterine cancer. That means whether you’re being diagnosed for the first time or looking for a second opinion, you will meet with our Gynecologic Cancer Multidisciplinary Consultation Program (Gynecologic MDC) team, which includes a gynecologic oncologist, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist and patient navigator. You will see the entire team of specialists in the same day. 

Team members will review every aspect of your case and offer the best treatment recommendation, the most effective approach in aggressively and successfully treating cancer. You also will be connected to a caring support team that includes financial counselors, social workers and others who will be available to you throughout your treatment and recovery.

The Cancer Institute also participates in regional and national clinical trials, offering options based on the latest research and treatments. See the clinical trials currently being conducted at the Cancer Institute.
