How many years can you live with advanced cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is relatively common in normal times. People who don’t know much about cervical cancer often feel that there is no hope after hearing that they have cervical cancer and usually give up treatment. In fact, some cancers will not recur after professional treatment in the early stages. Some people live for a long time without recurrence. If cervical cancer has reached the late stage, people can generally live for a few years. This is a concern for many cervical cancer patients.

How many years can you live with advanced cervical cancer?

Generally speaking, most cervical cancers in the late stage have already metastasized and cannot be surgically removed. Clinically, the treatment of late cervical cancer mainly relies on drug therapy, including chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine. Radiotherapy can also be used depending on the situation. Both chemotherapy and radiotherapy should be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which can play a role in enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity. Chemotherapy for cervical cancer mostly adopts combination chemotherapy. Among various chemotherapy drugs, cisplatin is the most widely used and relatively effective drug for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer. It has the dual effects of chemotherapy drugs and radiosensitizers, but it can easily cause nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. It needs to be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment to reduce its toxic reactions and enhance the treatment effect. When a patient is diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer, how long he can live depends on the severity of his disease, his body's sensitivity to drugs, and a reasonable treatment plan.
