Can surgery really cure cervical cancer? What are the misunderstandings about the treatment of cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women and is the only cancer whose cause has been discovered so far. Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which can be directly transmitted through skin contact and has a latent period of more than ten years. Therefore, there are no symptoms in the early stages. Cervical cancer can be prevented and measured. Timely screening for cervical cancer can effectively avoid misfortune.

Four major misunderstandings about cervical cancer treatment

1. Cervical cancer cannot be prevented. In fact, people's behavioral habits, such as multiple sexual partners, smoking and other bad habits, will greatly increase the risk of cancer. Therefore, changing these living conditions and regular physical examinations can reduce the incidence rate. It is recommended that women over 9 years old be vaccinated with cervical cancer vaccine, which is helpful for cervical cancer prevention.

2. Many cervical cancer patients are too superstitious about the therapeutic effect of surgery. Once diagnosed with cervical cancer, they will immediately request surgery, thinking that as long as they have surgery, they will not undergo follow-up treatment. In fact, this practice is wrong.

3. Vaccines can prevent cervical cancer, so after being vaccinated, you will not get cancer even without condoms. At present, the cervical cancer vaccine can only prevent four types of human papillomavirus, but the new vaccine is still useless. Continuing to use condoms can reduce cervical cancer more.

4. Reliance on nutritional foods: Nutritional and health products are not drugs and cannot replace conventional drugs in cancer treatment. Exaggerated publicity itself does not conform to scientific laws. Patients must adhere to a formal long-term treatment plan and choose appropriate drugs in a targeted manner. Cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan to obtain the best cervical cancer treatment results.

Several ways of metastasis of cervical cancer

Direct spread

It invades the vagina downward, affects the lower uterine segment and uterine body upward, spreads to the cervix and paravaginal tissues laterally, and invades the bladder and rectum forward and backward.

Lymphatic metastasis

It is the main way for cervical cancer to metastasize, and the lymph node metastasis rate is related to the clinical stage. The initial lymph nodes include the paracervical, obturator, internal iliac and external iliac lymph nodes, which are called the initial lymph node metastasis group. Then, the affected lymph nodes include the presacral, trunk, abdominal aorta and inguinal lymph nodes, which are called the secondary lymph node metastasis group. Lymph node metastasis to the left supraclavicular lymph node can also occur in the later stage.

Hematogenous metastasis

It is less common and usually occurs in the late stage. The main metastatic sites are lungs, liver, bones, etc.
