Treatment of cervical cancer

  Cervical cancer treatment methods: 1.Surgery Surgery is applicable to early stage cervical cancer, the scope of surgery is radical hysterectomy, that is, the uterus, part of the vagina and parametrial tissues are removed together, at the same time, bilateral pelvic lymph nodes should be removed, and those without ovarian lesions can be considered to be preserved.  The advantage of surgical cervical cancer treatment is that the cancer can be completely removed in one operation in early stage cases and the treatment period is short, but the disadvantage is that the scope of operation is large and complications such as urinary dysfunction may occur to a certain extent after surgery, which requires a period of recuperation and exercise to return to normal.  2.Radiotherapy Radiotherapy is applicable to all stages of cervical cancer, even advanced cervical cancer. For those who are old and have poor heart function and cannot tolerate surgery, radiotherapy is a very good treatment method. However, radiotherapy has certain complications, mainly radioactive rectum and cystitis, which need active treatment and recuperation to recover slowly.  3.Hormone therapy Hormone therapy for cervical cancer is regarded as palliative rather than curative, just like other cytotoxic anticancer chemotherapy. There are various progestin agents most commonly used at present. And estrogen antagonists are effective for recurrent lesions whose primary tumors are estrogen receptor positive, or when progestin therapy fails, the application of this drug is effective.
