Women from Agra facing a uterine cancer diagnosis have access to world-class surgical care at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi — just a few hours away. Dr. Monisha Gupta, Gynecologic Oncologist trained at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, leads every operation personally.
Surgical Options for Uterine Cancer
Treatment depends on the stage and grade of the tumour. The main surgical procedures offered include:
- Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) — removal of the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries
- Radical hysterectomy — for cases where the cancer has spread to surrounding tissue
- Pelvic and para-aortic lymph node staging — to determine whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes
- Omentectomy — removal of the fatty tissue covering abdominal organs when indicated
Dr. Monisha performs all these procedures through both open and laparoscopic routes depending on the patient’s fitness and disease extent.
Patients from Agra — What to Expect
Women from Agra — including areas like Civil Lines, Kamla Nagar, Tajganj, Sanjay Place — typically need a 4–6 day hospital stay for uterine cancer surgery. Pre-operative workup (blood tests, MRI pelvis, CT chest-abdomen-pelvis) can be arranged in advance so that surgery happens on the very next appointment after initial consultation.
Post-Surgery Care
After surgery, a pathology report guides whether adjuvant radiation, chemotherapy or hormone therapy is needed. Dr. Monisha co-ordinates with radiation oncologists at Fortis to provide a seamless multi-disciplinary plan. Follow-up visits can often be scheduled with gaps of 3–6 months, making the travel from Agra manageable.
