Sequelae of cervical cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy?

After radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cervical cancer, normal white blood cells in the body will be damaged. Patients will experience sequelae such as neurological dysfunction, decreased immunity, bone marrow suppression, and radiation dermatitis, which manifest as skin itching, nausea and vomiting, hair loss, general fatigue, anemia, pelvic adhesions, and loss of appetite. At the same time, after radiotherapy for cervical cancer, patients will also experience some pelvic infections, such as vaginitis, and may also cause patients to experience painful defecation or symptoms of tenesmus. Some patients will also experience symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and hair loss. The sequelae of radiotherapy for cervical cancer include two categories: early complications and late complications.

What are the symptoms of mid-term recurrence of cervical cancer?

The recurrence rate after treatment of mid- to late-stage cervical cancer mainly depends on the clearance of cancer cells during surgery, and is also closely related to whether the patient is sensitive to chemotherapy. There are often no obvious symptoms and signs in the early stages of cervical cancer. As the lesion progresses, the following clinical symptoms may appear: vaginal bleeding, often manifested as contact bleeding and vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse or gynecological examination, or irregular vaginal bleeding or prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual flow. Surgical treatment is generally not performed in the middle stage of cervical cancer. Surgical treatment is mainly suitable for patients with early cervical cancer stages 1A to 2A, while cervical cancer in the middle stage is generally treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
