Can stage 1a cervical cancer be cured?

The treatment of cervical cancer is a difficult problem in the medical field. Therefore, we must correctly understand cervical cancer and detect it as early as possible. Generally speaking, the cure rate of cervical cancer is still very high if it is treated early. However, due to the neglect of many women, they do not care about their health. When they go to the hospital for a check-up, they find that the disease has reached the late stage. No matter what kind of cancer it is, if it is not treated in time, we will lose our lives. Let's understand the question of whether cervical cancer stage 1a can be cured.

Early detection of cervical cancer is crucial. Compared with other cancer symptoms, the early symptoms of cervical cancer are relatively obvious. Patients may experience contact bleeding, especially during sexual intercourse or straining to defecate. A small amount of bloody secretions can be seen in the vagina. Once it reaches the late stage, it will manifest as heavy bleeding. If larger blood vessels are eroded, it may cause fatal bleeding. Therefore, be alert to the symptoms of vaginal bleeding.

Abnormal vaginal discharge is also an early symptom of cervical cancer, such as increased vaginal discharge volume, purulent texture, and odor. If the lesions spread to the pelvic connective tissue and compress the ureter, it may manifest as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating. If the disease reaches the late stage, the patient may experience weight loss, anemia, fever, and systemic failure. In addition to physical symptoms that can detect cervical cancer, women can also rule out precancerous lesions in a timely manner by having regular gynecological examinations.

Cervical cancer is different from other malignant tumors. Its occurrence and development goes from quantitative change to qualitative change, gradual change to mutation, and it takes a total of several years to more than ten years. During this period, through screening, cervical lesions can be discovered and treated in time, which can prevent the occurrence of cervical cancer. Therefore, the earlier cervical cancer is discovered and treated, the higher the cure rate. Once it enters the middle or late stage, the treatment becomes more difficult.

As cervical cancer worsens, the tumor will grow larger and various compression symptoms may occur. Pain is one of the common compression symptoms. Generally speaking, most advanced cervical cancers have already metastasized, and the cancer cells can spread to other organs. Even with surgical removal, the cancer cells cannot be controlled. In the late stage, patients mainly rely on drug treatment, including chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, to maintain life.
