Womb cancer · Guide
Womb cancer explorer: guide
Show the womb within the body, enter the tumour’s place, size and depth from the report, explain the treatment and share a matching picture sheet.
For patients and families
Look at the picture together
The picture opens with the whole body. Choose Pelvis to see the womb between the bladder and the bowel, then Womb to move close. Drag to turn it and scroll or pinch to zoom.
Show what your team has found
Your clinician can enter where in the womb the tumour is, its size, how far it has grown into the muscle wall and whether it reaches the cervix. The side view in the corner shows the lining, the muscle wall and the tumour. The shape is schematic, not a copy of your scan.
Take it home
Ask for a picture sheet with the views you discussed, your team’s explanation, what the womb does, where to find help and the words used. A QR code reopens the same model settings on your phone. Names, notes and contact details are never included in that code or saved online.
For clinicians
Start with orientation
The explorer adds the uterus (myometrium and endometrium), cervix, vagina, fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder and pelvic lymph nodes to the shared female pelvis, rectum, sacrum and body from the rectal explorer. Adding a tumour opens a sagittal cut-away seen from the patient’s left.
Set up from the report
| Control | What to set |
|---|---|
| Where in the womb | Fundus, body, lower uterine segment or throughout the endometrium. |
| Longest diameter | 3–100 mm. |
| Depth into the muscle wall | Endometrium only, less than half, half or more, or to the serosa, as described in the report. The model does not assign a FIGO stage. |
| Cervix and lymph nodes | Cervical stromal involvement and an abnormal pelvic lymph node, when the report describes them. |
Explain a selected plan
Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with or without sentinel lymph node biopsy, colours the tissue removed teal; After surgery shows the closed vaginal vault. A hormone coil (IUS) can be shown. Radiotherapy, brachytherapy, chemotherapy and omentectomy are not modelled.
Limits
- One tumour is illustrated. Adnexal, vaginal, parametrial and distant spread are not shown.
- The womb’s shape and the lymph node positions are schematic.
Sources and review
Practising gynaecological oncologist review is still needed for clinical teaching use. Please send corrections through feedback.
