The cancer few women know.

Hormone Therapy

That is discouraging.  Are there other treatment options?

Yes, there's one more.  We mentioned earlier that estrogen is a hormone that women naturally produce.  When it is produced in high levels it can encourage cancer cells in the uterus to grow.  Progesterone is another hormone that women produce.  This hormone helps balance the effects of estrogen.  This balance is important in the control of uterine cancer.  Progesterone can be used as a type of hormone therapy to treat uterine cancer that is not fully destroyed by surgery and radiation.
