[|Human|] Hi I am looking for an advice on radiotherapy for my mother who was operated for removal of uterus. Uterus was found to be malignated. Although, all other reports after the operation confirms negative meaning no malignancy in the body now, I would like to take a second opinion whether it is recomended to go for radiotherapy.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, radiotherapy is advisable after surgery for uterine malignancy. During surgery, spillage of malignant cells is unavoidable. Spillage is common due to handling of tumor mass. So tumor cells are likely to present at the site of operation. And hence local site recurrence is common after tumor surgery. To avoid this recurrence, radiotherapy is given post operative. Radiotherapy will kill the tumor cells at local site. And hence recurrence can be prevented. So it is always advisable to give post operative chemotherapy to prevent local site recurrence. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
