Uterine cancer is one of the most common gynecological cancers in women, and early detection plays a vital role in successful treatment and long-term outcomes.

With access to experienced gynecologists, modern diagnostic technology, and patient-focused screening protocols, 

Mumbai offers reliable options for women seeking proactive uterine health care. Regular screening not only helps detect cancer at an early stage but also provides peace of mind through informed and preventive women’s healthcare.

Why Early Screening Matters

Uterine cancer — also known as endometrial cancer — affects the lining of the uterus and is one of the most common gynecological cancers in women. Early detection dramatically improves treatment success and survival rates. When caught before symptoms progress, uterine cancer can often be treated effectively with less invasive options.

At Dr. Ranjana Dhanu’s Women’s Health Clinic in Mumbai, we offer the best uterine cancer screening services with advanced diagnostic tools, personalized care, and expert guidance.

What Is Uterine Cancer?

Uterine cancer begins when abnormal cells form in the uterus lining (endometrium). While it most often affects women over 50, it can occur at any age.

Common Types

  • Endometrioid carcinoma: Most common
  • Serous carcinoma: Aggressive form
  • Clear cell carcinoma: Rare subtype

Who Should Get Uterine Cancer Screening?

Screening is recommended for women who:

  • Are above 50 years old
  • Have abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Have a family history of gynecologic cancers
  • Experience postmenopausal bleeding
  • Have risk factors such as diabetes, obesity or PCOS

Note: There is no universal “routine” screening test like a Pap smear for cervical cancer — instead, screening is personalized based on symptoms and risk factors.

Symptoms to Watch For

Recognizing early warning signs helps prompt timely evaluation:

If you notice any of these, do not ignore them — early assessment is key.

Best Uterine Cancer Screening Tests in Mumbai

At our clinic, we tailor screening to your symptoms, age, and medical history. Common and effective uterine cancer screening options include:

1. Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVS)

This imaging test examines the thickness of the uterine lining. It helps detect:

  • Endometrial thickening
  • Masses within the uterus
  • Abnormal growths

TVS is non-invasive, painless, and commonly used as a first-line investigation.

2. Endometrial Biopsy

A small tissue sample is taken from the uterus lining and examined under a microscope.

Why it’s important:

  • Detects abnormal or cancerous cells
  • Often done if ultrasound shows irregularities or symptoms are present
  • Quick procedure, usually done in the clinic

Biopsy remains one of the most definitive methods for diagnosing uterine cancer.

3. Hysteroscopy

This involves inserting a thin camera through the cervix to visualize the inside of the uterus.

Benefits:

  • Direct view of suspicious areas
  • Can assist with guided biopsy
  • Helps detect polyps or structural abnormalities

4. Blood Tests

Blood tests such as CA-125 may be ordered to assess tumor markers — particularly if symptoms or ultrasound findings raise concerns.
