Stage 2B of cervical cancer should be stage IIB of cervical cancer, at this time, surgery is generally not recommended, and synchronous radiotherapy is usually chosen.
Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women. In stage IIB of cervical cancer, the ligamentous tissues next to the cervix have been involved by the lesion, but it has not reached the pelvic wall, and there has been invasion of the vagina, and the invasion scope has not reached the lower 1/3 of the vagina.
In this period, the cancer cells have already metastasized, and there is no indication for surgery, so surgery cannot cut cleanly, and the surgical treatment cannot achieve good results, so it is recommended to perform simultaneous radiotherapy to improve the survival period.
Simultaneous radiotherapy refers to the chemotherapy conducted at the same time of radiotherapy, which is also called sensitization chemotherapy. Currently, the treatment guidelines recommend that the sensitization chemotherapy during radiotherapy can be cisplatin monotherapy or cisplatin combined with paclitaxel.
Patients with stage IIB cervical cancer should go to the hospital in time and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of specialists in order to prolong the survival period.
