4 common senses for diagnosing cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor that has a great impact on women. A clear diagnosis of the disease before treatment can help doctors develop the most appropriate treatment plan and minimize the pain of patients. To diagnose cervical cancer, it is necessary to perform a cervical biopsy to determine the pathological type, clinical stage and pathological grade.

1. Cervical cancer can only be diagnosed through cervical biopsy: Early patients usually have abnormal TCT, and the diagnosis is confirmed after colposcopy and biopsy. If the tumor is already visible to the naked eye, the diagnosis can be confirmed through direct biopsy. Colposcopy cannot directly diagnose cervical cancer, but it can help select the biopsy site for cervical biopsy.

2. It is best to determine the pathological type: Determining the pathological type of cervical cancer helps determine the treatment plan, such as the common squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, etc.

3. It is best to determine the clinical stage: When cervical cancer is confirmed, lung radiography, lymph node angiography, cystoscopy, colonoscopy, etc. can be performed according to the specific situation to determine the clinical stage of cervical cancer and facilitate the selection of treatment plans.

4. It is best to determine the pathological grade: The pathological grade of cervical cancer directly affects the patient's prognosis. Well-differentiated cancers often have a better prognosis, while those with poorly differentiated cervical cancer have a poor prognosis and often need to pay special attention to subsequent treatment and follow-up.
