How long can you live with advanced uterine cancer?

When uterine cancer reaches the late stage, the possibility of metastasis is very high and surgical treatment is no longer possible. Conservative treatment can generally be performed, such as drug therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, etc. At this time, efforts should be made to reduce the patient's pain, prolong the patient's life, and improve the patient's quality of life. Formal conservative treatment should be carried out.

1. Generally speaking, most advanced cervical cancers have already metastasized and cannot be surgically removed. Clinically, the treatment of advanced cervical cancer mainly relies on drug therapy, including chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. 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.

2. The radiotherapy method for advanced cervical cancer varies depending on the patient's specific situation, and often uses a combination of internal and external radiation. As the radiotherapy time increases, the damage of radiation to the human body is gradually increasing. Therefore, the radiotherapy time and radiation intensity should be determined based on tumor relief, symptom relief and treatment-related toxicity.

In addition, in view of the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the human body, traditional Chinese medicine should be combined with the treatment of advanced cervical cancer. On the one hand, it can reduce the toxicity of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and alleviate symptoms, and on the other hand, it can enhance the patient's immunity and disease resistance and improve the quality of life. For patients with advanced cervical cancer who have a wide range of metastasis, weak physical functions, and can no longer tolerate chemotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for conservative treatment. Although the short-term effect is not as obvious as chemotherapy, the long-term effect is good, and it is effective in improving the quality of life and prolonging survival.

The above content is the reasonable answer given by experts to the question of what conservative treatments are available for advanced cervical cancer. Patients must pay attention to their physical health and eat more nutritious foods. However, it is important to pay attention to eating more fungal foods, which are very beneficial to the health of the body. At the same time, they should establish an optimistic attitude.
