Will cervical cancer recur 10 years after radiotherapy and chemotherapy?

Cervical cancer is a relatively common gynecological inflammation in women. Women usually choose to undergo cervical cancer surgery after developing cervical cancer. However, some patients are more worried about whether the disease will recur after the surgery. They ask whether cervical cancer will recur even after being cured for ten years. Let me explain this to you below.

Cervical cancer is definitely treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery. Close follow-up after treatment is very important to detect recurrence in time. Cervical cancer has been cured for ten years, and it seems that it is still relatively satisfactory after being cured. The five-year survival rate of stage II is 60%. All radiotherapy is completed one month after the end of the whole body examination and evaluation, chest and whole abdomen enhanced CT, and blood test for tumor markers SCC squamous cell carcinoma-related antigen. If the control is good, there are no abnormalities in SCC and imaging. It is recommended to recheck monthly. Generally, the possibility of recurrence in this case is not high.

Cervical cancer surgery may not completely remove the tumor. The residual tumor will continue to damage the body's tissues and organs, leading to recurrence. The main symptoms of cervical cancer recurrence are lower limb pain, abdominal and pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding and foul-smelling leucorrhea. In addition, there are different manifestations depending on the site of recurrence, such as cough, chest pain, hematuria, rectal bleeding, etc. In addition to the primary site of lesions, most of them can see lumps in the lower abdomen or pelvic wall, lower limb edema, etc.

There are many reasons for the recurrence of cervical cancer. The most important factor is incomplete treatment of primary cervical cancer, such as incomplete surgical removal, incomplete radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The tumor may have disappeared on the surface, but in fact there are still some cancer cells remaining. If recurrence occurs after surgery, don't have too much psychological pressure, as it is not good for your body. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for examination.

Postoperative treatment of cervical cancer is the key to treatment and has very important clinical significance for preventing the recurrence and metastasis of cancer cells. Currently, the commonly used postoperative treatment methods for cervical cancer are radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Postoperative treatment of cervical cancer should be analyzed according to the specific situation of the patient. Scientific and reasonable selection of symptomatic treatment methods is the key and prerequisite for promoting the recovery of patients after cervical cancer surgery. It can help reduce the trauma of surgery to patients, reduce the chance of complications and recurrence, and speed up the patient's recovery after surgery.

After cervical cancer surgery, effective systemic chemotherapy or adjuvant radiotherapy can be selected for postoperative consolidation treatment of cervical cancer, provided that the patient's physical condition allows. This can kill residual cancer cells after surgery, further improve the efficacy of cervical cancer treatment, and control local recurrence and metastasis symptoms. However, since both radiotherapy and chemotherapy are single therapies, they have great limitations and often lead to toxic and side effects such as gastrointestinal and bone marrow suppression, which often make it difficult for patients to tolerate and may interrupt treatment. Currently, traditional Chinese medicine is often used in clinical practice for treatment, which can improve the body's immunity while reducing the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and enhancing the efficacy of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so that radiotherapy and chemotherapy can proceed smoothly.

After cervical cancer surgery, patients will choose to take traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, which can effectively control the spread and metastasis of cancer cells and improve the body's immune resistance. Synergistic chemotherapy and radiotherapy can enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity, and have a significant effect on prolonging the patient's survival. The effect is better than that of single chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and the patient's survival rate is higher than that of patients with single chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, if the patient is weak and cannot tolerate the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it is recommended to use Chinese medicine directly for conditioning and treatment, which can often improve the patient's quality of life and prolong survival time.

The above is the answer to the question of whether cervical cancer will recur after surgery. In fact, there is still a certain chance of recurrence after cervical cancer surgery. Therefore, cervical cancer patients must not take it lightly after surgery, and must do a good job of postoperative recovery and pay attention to maintenance at ordinary times.
