How much does it cost to treat cervical cancer? Surgery is most effective for early stage patients

If surgery is the only option, many factors should be considered first, such as tumor size, patient age and overall health status, and whether the disease is in the early or late stage. Level I is recommended to undergo extrafascial total hysterectomy, level II is to remove the main ligament, the inner half of the fundal ligament, and the upper 1/3 of the vaginal wall, and level III is to remove all the main ligaments, the fundal ligament, and the upper 1/3 of the vaginal wall. Level IV is to remove the paraureteral tissue, the superior vesical artery, and the upper 3/4 of the vaginal wall. Level V is to remove part of the bladder and the distal end of the ureter.

Radiotherapy for cervical cancer has a wide range of indications and can be used for cases at all stages of clinical practice. It has a high efficacy, and the efficacy of radiotherapy for early cervical cancer is similar to that of surgery, and can alleviate symptoms and prolong life.

Radiotherapy requires expensive radiotherapy equipment and professionally trained technicians, and its main methods are neutron knife and Noli knife.

Neutron Knife uses Californium 252 neutron source, and is a large-scale modern high-tech radiotherapy equipment mainly used to treat tumors in human cavities or ducts. The treatment itself has little impact on the patient's health and is not demanding on the patient's physical condition. It is suitable for patients who are old, weak or have other obvious surgical contraindications. Generally, a course of treatment for gynecological tumors requires 4-6 times, once a week, 30 minutes to 45 minutes each time, and the treatment cost is about 4,000 yuan.

The computer of Noli Knife designs precise treatment plans according to the shape, location and properties of the tumor, and monitors in real time, which can kill the tumor to the greatest extent while protecting normal tissue. Depending on the condition, the course of treatment requires more than 20 to more than 30 times, usually once a day from Monday to Friday. The cost of treatment depends on the individual differences of the patient, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
