Having cervical cancer does not mean waiting to die

Many female friends believe that the mortality rate of cervical cancer is very high, so there is no need to spend money on treatment if they suffer from cervical cancer. This makes them depressed, which leads to the rapid development of the disease.

In fact, the onset of cervical cancer is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. The continuous process from precancerous lesions to carcinoma in situ to early invasive cancer and finally to invasive cancer takes about 5 to 10 years. During this period, if cervical lesions are actively intervened, cervical cancer can be prevented and cured early. Among them, the cure rate of cervical carcinoma in situ is close to 100%, and for invasive cervical cancer, the 5-year survival rate of stage I patients can reach more than 90%, stage II is 60% to 70%, stage III can still have 40% to 50%, but stage IV is only about 10%. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely treatment of cervical cancer are very important.

Patients also need to understand that the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer are very principled, and the treatment of cervical cancer at different stages is very different. If misdiagnosed or mistreated, it will bring disastrous consequences to the patient. For example, medical institutions with limited medical level may diagnose the precancerous lesions of cervical cancer as "erosion" or "inflammation", and only perform ordinary hysterectomy on patients who should undergo radical surgery. This will easily deprive patients of the best treatment opportunities and means.
