Can uterine fibroids turn into cancer?

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease in clinical practice. The probability of women suffering from uterine fibroids is relatively high. Some women with uterine fibroids may also have the probability of malignant transformation if they do not receive treatment. Therefore, when women develop uterine fibroids, they must receive timely treatment and be careful about other effects of uterine fibroids on the body. So will uterine fibroids become cancerous?

1. The possibility of uterine fibroids becoming cancerous is extremely small. Therefore, once uterine fibroids are found, regular check-ups should be conducted to observe the growth rate of the fibroids. If the fibroids grow slowly, continue to observe and no special treatment is required. If the fibroids grow rapidly in a short period of time, or even experience abnormal abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding and other symptoms, you should be highly vigilant about the risk of malignant transformation of the fibroids, and promptly perform B-ultrasound, tumor markers, and pelvic MRI examinations. If necessary, the fibroids can be surgically removed and sent for pathological examination to clarify the nature of the fibroids.

2. The most terrifying harm of uterine fibroids is malignant lesions. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, but a small number of women still cannot escape the risk of malignant transformation, which is particularly prominent in older women. Therefore, people with rapidly growing fibroids or postmenopausal fibroids should be vigilant. Therefore, uterine fibroids can become cancerous. Patients should seek treatment as soon as possible after being diagnosed with uterine fibroids to avoid malignant transformation. In addition, infertility or miscarriage is the most common condition caused by uterine fibroids. Patients with uterine fibroids have the fibroid tissue in the uterine cornu compressing the entrance of the fallopian tube, causing the uterus to deform and hindering the implantation of the fertilized egg, ultimately leading to infertility.

3. Generally, uterine fibroids will not turn into cancer. Uterine fibroids are very common. They are the most common benign tumor in the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also called fibroids and uterine fibroids. Therefore, the probability of becoming a malignant tumor is extremely low. Of course, although uterine myoma is a benign tumor, it is difficult to diagnose early, is easy to metastasize, is difficult to be completely treated with surgery, and is not very sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Therefore, the recurrence rate after treatment is relatively high, and the five-year survival rate is only about half.
