Frédéric Goffin · Prof., Citadelle
Endometrial cancer, the most common gynecological cancer in Western countries, develops in the uterine lining. Its management requires precise evaluation of each situation. While surgery is the standard treatment in most cases, therapeutic decisions are based on a multidisciplinary approach involving gynecologists, surgeons, oncologists, and paramedical professionals. The organization of care pathways and personalized patient support are essential components of high-quality management.
