00:00According to studies, in 2020, endometrial cancer is the 6th most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide.

00:11And because this month of June is considered as Endometrial Cancer Awareness Month,

00:16it is also called Uterine or Womb Cancer.

00:19This is what we are going to talk about this morning in this scene.

00:22And because this is the 2nd of June, Cancer Survivor Day,

00:26we are going to talk about what should and should not be done by cancer survivors

00:31to keep their bodies strong.

00:34And for that, we will be joined by Dr. Perdez Galbo, a Gynecologic Oncologist.

00:40Doc, good morning and welcome back to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:45Good morning, magandang umaga, mayum buntag for all sa mga KRS-P natin.

00:51Okay, for our fellow countrymen who are watching this,

00:55can you please explain what is endometrial cancer and what are its symptoms?

01:02Okay, so usually, endometrial cancer is abnormality in the lining of the uterus.

01:07It can be thick or it can be tumor in the lining of the uterus.

01:12Usually, the most common reason for this is hormonal imbalance or genetics of the patient.

01:20The average age for endometrial cancer in women is about 30 to 60 years old.

01:25Usually, most of them are postmenopausal, that is after 50 years old.

01:30So, this presentation is about bleeding.

01:35So, we need to know if your bleeding is regular or abnormal.

01:40Okay.

01:41Doc, do the symptoms show up immediately?

01:45And what are the symptoms that should be monitored?

01:49Okay.

01:50So, the good thing about this presentation is that the bleeding is really abnormal.

01:55Okay, so the normal menses of a woman is about every 25 to 30 days.

02:01And the average bleeding is about 2 days to 7 days.

02:06Anything beyond that is abnormal.

02:08You need to consult a doctor to know the reason why your bleeding is abnormal.

02:14It's probably because of myoma, polyp, adenomyosis, or other abnormalities in the lining of the uterus.

02:21For example, it's a tumor in the lining of the uterus or endometrial cancer.

02:26You need to consult a doctor immediately.

02:28Don't delay the consultation.

02:32I have to emphasize to the viewers that it's menopausal bleeding.

02:37Okay.

02:37The average menopause is about 40 to 50 years old.

02:41Usually, by that time, the menopause will suddenly stop.

02:46Okay.

02:47But anything during that time, like an irregular menstruation,

02:52or one or two months of no menstruation,

02:55or your menstruation is supposed to be 3 days to 5 days,

02:59or it's heavy, or you need to wear a diaper,

03:03that's not normal.

03:05We need to ask for help.

03:06Because usually, the misconception is that

03:09some people will listen to the MRI test or something like that

03:13and say that it's just a menopause.

03:15You don't need to consult a doctor

03:18because that's one of the symptoms of endometrial cancer.

03:23It's the abnormal uterine bleeding or abnormal adenomyosis.

03:26Okay, doc.

03:28What are the conditions or who is more likely to have endometrial cancer?

03:35What are the risk factors?

03:38Okay.

03:38Usually, what's common is hormonal imbalance.

03:41That's the reason why menopause is thick.

03:45These are the patients who have risk factors like obesity.

03:49It's really obesity.

03:51Women have hormonal imbalance when they're obese.

03:55The second is related to picos.

03:59Who has picos?

04:00It's abnormal.

04:01Every 2 to 3 months?

04:03Yes, these are risk factors.

04:05You need to regulate your menstruation.

04:09It's a different relationship if you have high blood or diabetes

04:13because you have high cholesterol and body fat.

04:15Usually, these are the most common risk factors

04:19for developing endometrial cancer.

04:22Doc, is it still possible to get pregnant even if you have endometrial cancer?

04:28Yes, it's possible.

04:30So, especially for our patients who have picos,

04:33sometimes, if we can't get pregnant right away,

04:36they can develop endometrial cancer.

04:38But there are criteria for getting pregnant.

04:41There should be no invasion and as much as possible in the lining of the uterus.

04:47The tumor should be less than 2 cm.

04:50For those who don't have distant metastasis,

04:52it can still be done by medical management.

04:56They need to be consulted early to evaluate

05:00if the criteria is still valid for pregnancy, medical management, and fertility management.

05:08This is because multidisciplinary management is needed.

05:13Gynecologic oncologists and infertility specialists

05:17should be able to trace the patient's proper management.

05:24But there are criteria.

05:26Doc, what is the treatment for endometrial cancer?

05:30Is it possible to treat it through chemotherapy like other cancers?

05:37Yes, but usually, the primary mode of treatment for endometrial cancer

05:42depends on the stage and age of the patient,

05:46the reproductive function or the reproductive results.

05:50As we mentioned earlier,

05:51children with cancer, especially those who have picos,

05:55can be treated through medical management and high-dose progesterone.

05:58But if the patient's age is more than 40 years old,

06:05the treatment should be done through surgical management.

06:07They should be able to remove the mattress, tubular tissue, and the follicles

06:11that are called tub sew and complete surgical staging.

06:15But the basis of further treatment depends on the 5-series sew.

06:21So if there is a distant metastasis,

06:23it is necessary to undergo brachytherapy, radiation, or chemotherapy

06:27if the need arises depending on the 5-series sew.

06:30Okay, Doc, just this past Sunday, June 2,

06:33there was a celebration of Cancer Survivor Day.

06:36Since we're talking about cancer,

06:37what are the things that cancer survivors should do

06:41to take care of their bodies

06:44since there is still a possibility that the cancer will return

06:47even if you are cancer-free, Doc?

06:50Okay, so before that, I would just like to emphasize

06:53the A, B, and C of endometrial cancer.

06:55So again, A means awareness.

06:57You know the risk factors that we were talking about earlier.

07:00Obesity, high blood, PCOS, diabetes, and so on.

07:04B is what we need to know,

07:08what is the presentation of bleeding and abnormal bleeding.

07:10So if there is abnormal bleeding, you need to get consulted.

07:13C is to consult the doctor if there is abnormality.

07:17Of course, you need to consult the doctor if there is pain or whatsoever.

07:21So if you are a survivor of any type of cancer,

07:25usually in women,

07:27breast, cervix, endometrium, and ovary,

07:31we need to change our lifestyle.

07:34Because this is like a second life,

07:37literally, if it's of that type.

07:39So we have to go back to a healthy lifestyle,

07:42meaning what we followed up on.

07:45Carbohydrates, proteins, and all those things.

07:48We need to exercise.

07:51We need to do that so we don't get fat.

07:54Because as you can see, obesity is related to the recurrence of diseases,

07:58especially breast or endometrial cancer.

08:01And also, we need what we call psychology.

08:04We have to know that this is our second life.

08:07We have to want people to enjoy life.

08:09Let the days count, not count the days.

08:12But together, you need to follow up with the doctor.

08:16What are the recommendations?

08:18For breast, mammogram, CT scan, or X-ray.

08:21For endometrial, you need to get a pap smear or CT scan.

08:25You need to follow the doctor's instructions.

08:28But definitely, lifestyle changes.

08:31Lifestyle, less stress.

08:33They can also see that this has a connection to recurrence.

08:36So we need to know.

08:37And I just like to emphasize again,

08:39usually, the most common signs and symptoms of recurrence of cancer.

08:43Any type of cancer is anything that has changes in sneezing,

08:48in vomiting,

08:49always bloatedness,

08:52easily getting sick,

08:53or changes in weight,

08:55spotting, bleeding,

08:57difficulty in breathing,

09:01blisters on the neck,

09:07these are the signs and symptoms of recurrence of cancer.

09:10So you need to get a regular check-up from the doctor.

09:13Alright, thank you very much Dr. Ferdes Galbo

09:16for Libring Telemed, for our KRS-P.

09:19Again, thank you.

09:20And let's always be careful, Doc.

09:22Thank you.

09:23Thanks Doc.
