    • Surgical Options: The preferred surgical approach for endometrial cancer and the evolving role of lymph node evaluation.
    • Adjuvant Therapy: Decisions on whether Pamela needs additional treatment based on her cancer’s risk classification.
    • Follow-Up & Recurrence: Strategies for monitoring and managing potential recurrences, including when to consider advanced treatments.
