What is the survival rate for lymphatic metastasis from cervical cancer?

The 5-year survival rate of cervical cancer with lymphatic metastasis is generally not high, averaging around 40%. If lymphatic metastasis occurs in cervical cancer, it indicates that the disease has reached advanced stage and the prognosis is poor, and the average 5-year survival rate is about 40%. Lymphatic metastasis of cervical cancer has lost the best time for surgical treatment, and the disease is mainly controlled by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can kill the cancer cells in the body, thus preventing the condition from worsening and prolonging the survival period of patients. If the patient’s condition meets the requirements, targeted drugs can also be used under the guidance of doctors to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and reduce the patient’s pain. Although cervical cancer can also be treated after lymphatic metastasis, the prognosis is poor, and most people will recur soon after treatment and may die in a relatively short time. However, patients still have to keep a good mindset and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, which can prolong the life cycle and improve the survival rate.
