Episode 3.4 Ovarian and Endometrial Cancers, Endometrial Ablation, and COVID
In this episode, we discuss reasons for the falling rates of ovarian cancers and the rising rates of endometrial cancers. We also discuss the impact that endometrial ablation may have on worsening endometrial cancer outcomes in light of other alternatives to hysterectomy, such as IUDs. Finally, we discuss some COVID updates including whether or not pregnant women with COVID should receive anticoagulation.
