There is still a possibility of recurrence after hysterectomy for cervical cancer, so patients should still undergo regular review after the operation and undergo radiotherapy if necessary.
If the cervical cancer is found at an early stage, after hysterectomy, the possibility of recurrence is small, and the five-year survival rate reaches more than 90%. If the cervical cancer is found at a later stage, after hysterectomy, it may still recur and needs to be treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other methods.
After surgery for cervical cancer, as the uterus and cervix have been removed, the recurrence site may be in the parietal, pelvis, rectum, bladder, vaginal stump, etc., in addition to metastasizing to the lungs, liver, brain, bone and other parts of the body.
If cervical cancer is diagnosed, it is recommended that patients should consult doctors in time, complete relevant examinations, clarify the causes of the disease under doctors’ guidance, and take active targeted treatments to avoid delaying the disease, and follow the doctors’ instructions for regular checkups after the operation, in order to get better treatment results.
