Uterine and Cervical Cancer Prognosis
Cervical cancer mainly sows through the lymph nodes. A backache can be an indication that the cancer is sown to outside the cervix. Pain in urination or urinary loss through the vagina may indicate that the cancer has spread to the bladder. Pain in the stool may indicate sowing to the rectum. The urine flow can even be blocked by enlarged lymph nodes with cancer cells. A blockage of kidney urine flow can lead to kidney problems. Disease-induced cancer eventually leads to overall weakening and death.
For the prognosis of uterine cancer, the histological type, tumor size, vascular invasion and invasive depth in myometrium, extension to endocervix, and post-surgery are important: tumor-free intersections and the absence of metastases. In stage IA, the forecast is excellent, but in subsequent stages, five-year survival is falling rapidly, up to 15-19% in Stage IV.
Major developments are taking place in the treatment of cancer. A lot of research is being done and the results are often hopeful. The information provided above is based on a snapshot. Tomorrow it may be different ... Your specialist is aware of the latest new developments and can advise the best treatment of the moment.
Treatment
The treatment depends on the type of cancer cells, the degree of malignancy and the stage of the uterine and cervical cancer. There are four types of treatment that can be performed independently. However, treatment forms are often combined.
If a surgery is chosen, the uterus or whole uterus is removed. If necessary, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and lymph nodes are removed. If radiation is needed, it is possible to choose between internal and external radiation. If medication is chosen, there is a choice between hormones and chemotherapy. Alternatively, heat treatment (hyperthermia) can be chosen.
