A Mongolian patient was admitted to the International Medical Center of our hospital with an assessment report from a local hospital in Mongolia. Having been diagnosed with endometrial cancer through pathological examination at the local hospital, she was advised to undergo an extensive surgery involving total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo - oophorectomy. Trusting in the professional competence of Chinese medical care, she made a special trip to China to seek further diagnosis and treatment. Adhering to the principles of rigorous and responsible medical practice, our hospital's medical team conducted comprehensive re - evaluations through systematic pathological and imaging tests to accurately confirm her condition. Eventually, only a therapeutic Intrauterine Device (IUD) Insertion was required, successfully sparing the patient from unnecessary major surgery. After receiving targeted treatment, the patient was discharged smoothly on January 30, 2026, rekindling her hope for a peaceful and healthy life.

A Critical Choice: Seeking Better Treatment in China 

At the end of January 2026, a patient diagnosed with endometrial cancer by a local hospital in Mongolia was admitted to the International Medical Center of our hospital with her local medical reports. Eager to get rid of her pain, she repeatedly requested to undergo total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo - oophorectomy as soon as possible. Considering that such extensive surgery would cause irreversible damage to her organs, and that endometrial cancer, as one of the three major malignant tumors of the female reproductive system, must be confirmed by strict pathological examination for an accurate diagnosis, Chief Physician Gu Zhengtian from the Department of Gynecology adhered to the principle of prudent diagnosis and treatment. After reviewing her medical history and local examination reports, Chief Physician Gu suspected the original diagnosis and decided to perform dilation and curettage again to clarify the pathological condition of the endometrium, re-evaluating the condition by comparing pathological results from both our hospital and an external laboratory, and firmly avoiding major surgery without conclusive evidence to prevent irreversible harm caused by improper evaluation. 

After admission, our medical team attached great importance to her condition and developed a rigorous and scientific diagnostic plan, arranging comprehensive examinations including blood tests, uterine ultrasound, and pelvic enhanced MRI, all of which showed no evidence of malignancy. Then, Chief Physician Gu personally performed diagnostic dilation and curettage, and the pathological tissue was sent to the Pathology Laboratory of Guangzhou First People’s Hospital for testing, which still showed no malignancy. To ensure accuracy, the medical team also sent the local pathological slides brought by the patient to an independent third-party laboratory for re-review, and the final result still confirmed no malignant tumor tissue. Based on all examination results, our hospital clearly concluded that malignancy is not considered, major surgery is unnecessary, and only therapeutic intrauterine device insertion and subsequent follow-up management are required.

Professional Perseverance: Avoiding Unnecessary Harm

The key to this successful management lay in the rigorous and prudent clinical attitude of our medical team. Although the patient requested urgent surgery, the team did not proceed hastily, Instead, we strictly followed clinical practice guidelines and developed a comprehensive plan for examination and diagnosis.

We fully understand that major surgery can cause irreversible physical consequences; therefore, accurate diagnosis must be ensured through multimodal examinations to avoid unnecessary physical and psychological harm. Even in light of the prior external evaluation recommending major surgery, our team persisted in re-evaluation and repeated verification, fully demonstrating the professional responsibility of our medical staff.

This case also highlights the risks of hasty treatment planning. Inadequate evaluation of gynecological conditions may lead patients to undergo unnecessary major surgery with permanent impacts on quality of life. With meticulousness, rigor, and a commitment to excellence, our team successfully prevented such harm, upholding the fundamental medical ethical principle of “First, do no harm”.
