When surgery is indicated

Standard first step for most endometrial and many early-stage ovarian cancers — staging directly determines whether further treatment is needed. Approach (open or laparoscopic) depends on tumor extent.

Surgical staging (total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, plus lymph node and peritoneal sampling) is the standard first step for most endometrial and many early-stage ovarian cancers, since accurate staging directly determines whether further treatment is needed. Open or laparoscopic approach depends on tumor extent and the surgeon's assessment.

Surgery-first staging is typical when

Disease appears confined to the uterus/ovaries on imaging · patient fit for surgery · accurate staging needed to plan any further treatment

The board may advise treatment first when

Imaging suggests disease has spread beyond the pelvis · very high surgical risk · a biopsy result requiring neoadjuvant chemotherapy first

The operation

Staging hysterectomyTAH-BSO + surgical staging

open or laparoscopic · 2–3 h · 3–4 nights

Uterus, tubes, ovaries and lymph/peritoneal samples removed for full staging. This result determines whether radiotherapy or chemotherapy follows.The uterus, both fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed along with lymph node and peritoneal samples, giving pathology the full picture needed to confirm the true stage. This staging result — not the pre-operative imaging alone — is what determines whether radiotherapy or chemotherapy follows.
