When your hysterectomy is performed, the womb, ovaries and lymph nodes if they were removed, are sent to the pathology laboratory for analysis. The pathologist will issue a report stating the extent of the cancer.
The MDT will look at your case, taking into consideration your general health and fitness, the extent and features of the disease and decide if additional treatment is required.
If the cancer is confined to the womb and there are no features to suggest that it might behave aggressively, then no further treatment is required.
