Hi,

Has anybody else been diagnosed with Endometrioid ovarian adenocarcinoma? I understand it's unusual?

If so, I was just wondering what your treatment was and if it's likely to reoccur?

  • Hello

    If you go down to the types there is some info here about endometrial ovarian cancer.

    I see you have posted in the Ovarian forum and hopefully someone with a similar diagnosis will respond soon. 

    In the meantime if there is anything else you need, please do ask.

  • Thank you.

    Hopefully! I guess because mine is an adenocarcinoma, that’s why it’s perhaps not as common… I saw that endometrioid ovarian carcinoma in the second most common type.

    • I was diagnosed with ovarian adenocarcinoma endometrioid type in May 2025. I had been referred to Gynae in March 2025 after 18 month of symptoms that had been repeatedly assigned to menopause. A practnurse noticed abnormal weight loss and very low blood pressure,a trainee GP referred me for investigations, following bloods,CT and abdominal and pelvic scans a mass was detected. I underwent surgery 6 weeks later at Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield Miss Madelaine Macdonald is my consultant and carried out my surgery  I had removal of  both ovaries ,fallopian tubes and total hysterectomy, as well as removal of omentum and resection of both ureters. It was determined that I didnt require Chemotherapy. During the surgery a large amount of previously undiagnosed endometriosis was found,it apparently was fairy advanced and had possibly been there for years. I'm currently NED  my consultant has now prescribed Veoza for my surgical menopause symptoms. This is non hormonal
