What we do
Women attending the Gynaecological Cancer Clinic may have a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer. At this clinic we will ask you a number of questions about your symptoms and any issues affecting your health. We will conduct a physical examination to work out if you need to have further tests. We will then discuss with you your treatment options and assist you to make decisions about your care.
Information for patients
