Probability of recurrence of total cervical cancer resection

  Because of the different stages of cervical cancer, the probability of recurrence after total excision varies. For women with early-stage cervical cancer, the probability of recurrence after excision may be less than 10%, while for mid- to late-stage cervical cancer, the probability of recurrence may reach more than 60%.  For early-stage cervical cancer patients, since the cancer cells are only locally distributed in the cervix and have not metastasized elsewhere outside the uterine body, the recurrence rate is less than 10% after active open surgery, complete removal of uterine adnexa, pelvic lymph node dissection, and postoperative radiotherapy, which can reach more than 90%. For patients with middle and late stage cervical cancer, the cancer cells have metastasized to other parts of the body, resulting in infinite proliferation of cancer cells throughout the body, so there may be no way to cure completely with surgery, and radiotherapy cannot kill the cancer cells throughout the body. For women with advanced cervical cancer, the recurrence rate may reach 100%, and the survival time is usually about 1 to 2 years, or even half a year, and some patients with advanced cervical cancer may not survive longer than half a year without active symptomatic treatment.  Therefore, women with cervical cancer should undergo a comprehensive examination as soon as possible to confirm the specific stage and then undergo symptomatic treatment.
