Can early cervical cancer be cured?

Patients suffering from cervical cancer do not need to worry. Clinically, early-stage cervical cancer can generally be cured. If detected early, better results can be achieved regardless of whether surgery or radiotherapy is used.

First of all, early cervical cancer can be treated surgically, generally by removing the uterus and part of the vagina and paracervical tissue, and also removing bilateral pelvic lymph nodes at the same time. Whether to retain the ovaries depends on whether there are any lesions. If not, retention can be considered. One advantage of surgical treatment is that in early cases, only one operation is needed to completely remove the cancer, and the treatment period is short. The disadvantages of the surgery are that it causes a large area of ​​trauma and that complications such as urinary dysfunction may occur to a certain extent after the surgery.

As for radiotherapy, its application scope is very wide, covering almost all stages of cervical cancer, even advanced cervical cancer. Radiation therapy is a good treatment for the elderly or people with poor heart function who cannot tolerate surgery. However, it should be noted that radiotherapy has certain complications, including radiation rectal and cystitis, which require a certain period of treatment and rest before recovery.

Although this disease is the most common malignant tumor in women, patients should not be overly nervous. As long as it is discovered and treated early, the prognosis is quite good. Patients must not be afraid to seek medical treatment when they have symptoms, otherwise they will miss the best time for treatment and will suffer the consequences.
