Debulking surgery for metastatic endometrial cancer – a case report and literature review

Abstract

Although endometrial cancer is usually diagnosed in early stages of the disease due to the frequent association of worrisome symptoms such as postmenopausal bleeding, in certain cases the patients are diagnosed when metastatic lesions are already present. In such cases, a multidisciplinary approach is needed in order to achieve a maximum benefit in terms of survival. The aim of the current paper is to report a 62 year old patient diagnosed with endometrial cancer with bone and pulmonary metastases in whom a complex oncological and surgical therapeutic strategy was performed with good results.
