Stage B2 of cervical cancer should be written as stage IIB of cervical cancer, which is hard to be cured completely, and can be treated by simultaneous radiotherapy, and also neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be carried out first, and then strive for surgical opportunity, and the 5-year survival rate is about 40~60%.
Stage IIB cervical cancer is also called locally advanced cervical cancer, at this time, the tumor has already invaded the tissues next to the uterus, and it is often difficult to be completely removed by surgery at this time, therefore, it can be treated by simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which means that 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin, paclitaxel and other drugs are used for chemotherapy at the same time of radiotherapy, and after treatment, the survival rate of 5-years is about 40~60% or so.
If stage IIB cervical cancer is to be operated, neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used to shrink the cancerous lesion as much as possible, and then it can be treated by radical hysterectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection and other surgeries, and the 5-year survival rate after the surgical treatment is similar to that of simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which is also around 40~60%.
If you are diagnosed with stage IIB cervical cancer, please follow the doctor’s prescription for treatment.
