Suggest Treatment For Adeno Sarcoma Cancer
Question: My sister has adeno sarcoma cancer and she used to bleed when she has vaginal examination. The cancer is on her pelvis area and she can feel it very easily on her vagina area. lately she has changed doctors and she does not bleed anymore after her examinations. Any reason why? she will be having surgery soon.
Brief Answer:
Cancer lesions can bleed spontaneously too without anybody touching them.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.
I presume your sister has adenocarcinoma of uterus. It must have extended to cevix ( neck of womb which she is feeling) and pelvic area. The cancer lesions are very vascular with fragile vessels in some areas. Inadvertent touching/rubbing these lesion can initiate the bleeding. The reason she is not bleeding now could be because during examination these fragile regions are not touched or they have been covered by less vascular tissue.
may be during previous examinations the doctors took biopsy for examinations which initiated bleeding.
The second reason is cancer lesions bleed spontaneously too without anybody touching them. The bleeding she had during her previous examinations could be coincidental.
Has she had radiotherapy? Radiotherapy can cause fibrosis of vascular cancer tissue reducing the possibility of bleeding.
I hope this helps.
If you have further queries, I will be happy to answer.
With best wishes to your sister,
Dr XXXXXXX

thanks for the information. She also said that when she examines her self, there is a foul smell and sometimes a stain on her underwear with the same foul smell. Any reason why? also chemo or operation which one is best for this kind of cancer?
Brief Answer:
bacterial infection of dead tissue causes foul smelling discharge.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
The cancer cells outgrow their blood supply. So the cells in the periphery of the growth die . bacterial infection of dead tissue causes foul smelling discharge.
You can get rid of the smell by removing the growth.
The right person to tell whether surgery or radiotherapy is appropriate for her is her treating oncologist after assessing the stage of cancer and her general condition.
I am sorry I cannot help you in this matter.
