This section provides tools and resources for women with low-risk endometrial cancer, their carers and families.
When your follow-up care is shared between your specialist team and your primary care practitioner/s, this is known as shared follow-up and survivorship care.
Survivorship care focuses on your overall health and wellbeing, both when you are living with and beyond cancer. This includes supporting healthy lifestyle choices to reduce your risk of developing new cancers or the cancer coming back.
After treatment for low-risk endometrial cancer, it is important to have follow-up visits with your shared care team to:
- check whether the cancer has come back
- monitor and address any side effects of treatment
- receive practical and emotional support.
