How to treat early stage of cervical cancer

  With the increasing sophistication of cervical cancer screening systems, many cervical cancers can be diagnosed earlier and have a better prognosis. However, in recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer is becoming younger and the proportion of patients of childbearing age continues to rise. With the continuous improvement and development of surgical techniques, patients with cervical cancer need not only to live longer but also to improve their quality of life.  Some patients of childbearing age will have a strong desire to have children. There are two types of cases: one is women who have not completed their fertility mission yet, what will happen if they have cervical cancer? The other part is women who are currently in the stage of pregnancy, what should they do if cervical cancer is discovered during pregnancy?  For cervical cancer patients who have not yet given birth, the first thing to do is to accurately diagnose the type and clinical stage of cervical cancer to further decide the treatment strategy. For early stage lesions, including relatively small lesions (<2cm), excluding special types with higher malignancy and relatively good prognosis, we can still prefer radical cervical surgery to preserve reproductive function, that is, to remove the diseased cervix while preserving the uterus to ensure that the patient still has the hope of having children in the future.  For women who are already pregnant, when the problem of cervical cancer is found, the treatment is mainly based on the tumor specification. The traditional method requires radical hysterectomy, which of course needs to be handled together with the child, and the blow of losing the child is not good for the patient or the family stability, in the face of such patients, we also need to carefully evaluate the tumor type and clinical stage to decide the further treatment plan. If the tumor is confirmed to be in early stage, the prognosis is relatively good, and treatment that preserves the fetus and reproductive function, including chemotherapy and surgery, can also be chosen.
