Patients with adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix, if strictly speaking, already belong to cervical cancer, but in the early stage of cervical cancer.
In adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix, the epithelial layer is completely replaced by cancer cells, the epithelial layered structure disappears, the cell polarity disappears, but the cancer cells do not break through the basement membrane, there is no obvious mesenchymal infiltration, and the cancerous lesions are limited to the epithelium. Strictly speaking, adenocarcinoma in situ is also cervical cancer, but the disease is in early stage.
For patients who are found to have adenocarcinoma in situ of the cervix, it is recommended that they go to regular hospitals for consultation as early as possible and under the guidance of doctors, they should actively undergo cervical conization or total hysterectomy or removal of the uterus and adnexa in order to prevent the cancer from spreading or infiltrating further, prolong the survival period and improve the quality of life. For details, it is recommended to consult professional doctors.
