Anemia associated with gynecological cancer and risk factors for lower extremity lymphedema following surgery for cervical and endometrial cancer

Dimcho Bachvarov

Radiotherapy (RT) serves as an important adjuvant treatment. Pathological findings classify cervical cancer patients who undergo an upfront radical hysterectomy into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups. For low-risk groups, evidence-based guidelines recommend no adjuvant treatment, for intermediate-risk groups, adjuvant RT and chemotherapy, and for high-risk groups, adjuvant RT and chemotherapy. Resected endometrial cancer is treated with RT, chemotherapy, or both, depending on the tumor's stage and histologic grade.
