How long can you live after hysterectomy?

Uterine cancer generally includes two types of cancer, cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, and how long one can live after surgery is mainly related to the clinical stage. Early stage cancer can survive for a long time or even be cured after surgery, while advanced stage cancer usually survives 1-2 years or even less after surgery. Early stage cervical cancer refers to cancer lesions confined to the cervical area, while early stage endometrial cancer cancer lesions are confined to the uterus. Early stage uterine cancer lesions are small in size, and the 5-year survival rate is over 80%-90%, and many women can be cured. The prognosis of endometrial cancer is relatively better, and most endometrial cancers are early stage cancers when detected. In contrast, advanced cervical cancer refers to cancer foci that are so large that they have invaded the pelvic wall or invaded the lower part of the vagina. And advanced endometrial cancer has distant metastasis, lymphatic metastasis, or metastasis in the pelvic and abdominal cavities. After surgical resection, supplemental radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be given, and the 5-year survival rate of this group of women is less than 30%-40%. Uterine cancer, when detected at an early stage and treated aggressively, generally has a good prognosis. Patients with uterine cancer also need to maintain a healthy diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion, and have annual gynecological examination.
