1. Surgery:

   - Hysterectomy: Surgical removal of the uterus is the primary treatment for most cases of uterine cancer. Dr. Murthy specializes in performing minimally invasive hysterectomy techniques, such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted procedures, which offer quicker recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery.

   - Lymph Node Dissection: In some cases, lymph nodes in the pelvic and/or para-aortic regions may be removed to assess the spread of cancer and determine the need for additional treatment.

   - Fertility-Sparing Surgery: For select patients with early-stage uterine cancer who wish to preserve fertility, Dr. Nirmala Murthy may offer fertility-sparing surgical options, such as a hysterectomy with preservation of the ovaries or hormone therapy.

 

2. Radiation Therapy:

   - External Beam Radiation: This type of radiation therapy uses high-energy beams directed at the pelvis to kill cancer cells and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.

   - Brachytherapy: Internal radiation therapy involves placing radioactive implants or sources directly into the uterus to deliver targeted radiation to the tumor site.

 

3. Chemotherapy:

   - Systemic Chemotherapy: Dr. Murthy may recommend chemotherapy, either alone or in combination with other treatments, for patients with advanced-stage or recurrent uterine cancer. Chemotherapy drugs are administered orally or intravenously to kill cancer cells throughout the body.

 

4. Hormone Therapy:

   - Progesterone Therapy: In certain cases, especially for patients with low-grade uterine cancer or those who are not candidates for surgery, hormone therapy with progesterone may be prescribed to slow the growth of cancer cells and control symptoms.

 

5. Targeted Therapy:

   - Molecular Targeted Agents: These newer therapies target specific molecular abnormalities in cancer cells, disrupting their growth and survival. Dr. Nirmala Murthy may recommend targeted therapies for patients with advanced or recurrent uterine cancer, particularly those with specific genetic mutations.

 

6. Clinical Trials:

   - Participation in Clinical Trials: Dr. Murthy stays abreast of the latest advancements in uterine cancer treatment and may offer eligible patients the opportunity to participate in clinical trials evaluating novel treatments or therapeutic approaches.

   - Pain Management: Dr. Nirmala Murthy provides comprehensive supportive care to manage symptoms and side effects of treatment, including pain management strategies tailored to each patient's needs.
