What is Hysterectomy for Cancer?
Hysterectomy for cancer is a critical surgical procedure that removes the uterus and often includes the cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It is performed to treat or prevent gynecological cancers such as uterine, ovarian, or cervical cancer, ensuring effective disease management. Depending on the severity and stage, different surgical approaches, including open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques, may be used. This procedure helps prevent cancer progression, alleviates symptoms, and improves long-term health outcomes for patients with gynecological malignancies.
