How to treat lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer

If cervical cancer has lymph node metastasis, it usually indicates that cervical cancer has already reached the advanced stage, so the best time for surgical treatment is lost during this period. In this case, radiotherapy or chemotherapy should be considered, and radiotherapy mainly includes intracavitary irradiation and extracorporeal irradiation, usually in advanced stage patients choose extracorporeal irradiation as the main treatment, together with intracavitary irradiation. Patients can also be treated with chemical drugs, usually platinum or fluorouracil will be chosen for chemotherapy. If the patient’s body is weak, symptomatic supportive therapy is needed in this case. If the pain is more serious, pain relieving drugs can be chosen for treatment. In addition, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine or physical therapy can be used to maintain and improve the patient’s quality of life.
