03 / Symptoms
Changes in vaginal bleeding are among the symptoms that should be checked. Symptoms vary between people.

04 / Stages
Staging considers whether the cancer is confined to the uterus or has reached nearby tissues, lymph nodes, or distant organs. Surgical findings and pathology often contribute to staging. Ask your specialist to explain the stage, grade, and any tumour test results together, as the stage number alone does not determine the treatment plan.

06 / Verita Life care
Care at Verita Life considers physical and mental wellbeing, emotional support, and lifestyle alongside oncology treatment.
Bring the biopsy or surgical pathology report and details of any previous treatment. Tell the team about ongoing bleeding, pain, menopause symptoms, or concerns about fertility and sexual wellbeing.
07 / Therapies
The treatment families below explain the wider Verita Life service. They are not a list of treatments recommended for everyone with this diagnosis.
Your consultation is the place to discuss which options, if any, are appropriate alongside your current treatment. Ask about the purpose of each proposed therapy, its evidence for your cancer type, possible risks, and how it fits with your oncologist’s plan.
The treatments below are used across cancer types. Which ones apply to you is decided in your consultation.
08 / Questions
No. Endometrial cancer begins in the lining inside the uterus. Cervical cancer begins in the cervix. Uterine sarcoma is another distinct cancer involving the muscle or supporting tissues of the uterus.

The plan depends on how far the cancer has developed, your overall health, and your preferences. Your care team should explain the goals, possible side effects, and expected course of each proposed treatment.
