Cervical squamous carcinoma and cervical epithelial squamous cell carcinoma, belonging to a kind of cervical cancer, are relatively more serious in stage III.
Cervical epithelial squamous cell carcinoma is roughly divided into four stages according to the severity of the disease, the higher the stage indicates the more serious the disease is, and stage III belongs to the middle-late stage, which is more serious.
Stage I tumors are only confined to the cervix, often with no obvious symptoms and signs, and the prognosis is relatively good. Stage II tumors will exceed the uterus, but not reaching the lower 1/3 of the vagina or not reaching the pelvic wall, and the patients will have symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, contact bleeding, etc., and there is a certain degree of possibility of cure.
Stage III cancer involves the lower 1/3 of the vagina and/or spreads to the pelvic wall and/or causes hydronephrosis or non-functional kidney and/or involves the pelvic cavity and/or para-abdominal aortic lymph nodes, and the patient will have symptoms such as fishy vaginal odor, discharge of fluids, frequency of urination, urgency of urination, constipation, and swelling and pain of the lower limbs, and the prognosis is poorer.
Once diagnosed, squamous cervical cancer can generally be treated with surgery and further radiotherapy after surgery, but it is still necessary to cooperate with doctors to choose the appropriate treatment plan according to the specific condition.
