Is poorly differentiated cervical cancer serious?

Poor differentiation means that the tumor is highly malignant, develops rapidly, has poor treatment effects, and is more likely to recur and metastasize after surgery. If the patient is currently diagnosed with cervical cancer, it is a poorly differentiated cancer. The pathological type of cervical cancer is usually squamous cell carcinoma, in addition to adenocarcinoma or some other special types of cancer.

Treatment options for advanced cervical cancer

In the late stage of cervical cancer, it can also cause obvious local pain, as well as systemic organ failure, and even cachexia symptoms such as weight loss and anemia. Therefore, oral morphine or intramuscular injection of pethidine is required for symptomatic analgesia. At the same time, amino acids and fat emulsions are also required for nutritional support therapy. The treatment plan for advanced cervical cancer needs to be based on clinical staging, patient age, fertility requirements, general condition, medical technology level and equipment conditions, etc., and appropriate individualized treatment plans should be formulated based on comprehensive considerations. In general, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the first choice. When the cervical tumor becomes smaller and there is an indication for surgery, the tumor is removed first for debulking surgery, and then radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used after surgery.

Will radiotherapy for cervical cancer cause hair loss?

However, hair loss is temporary. After radiotherapy is over, the patient's hair will regenerate within 3-6 months. Therefore, patients with brain metastasis of cervical cancer do not need to pay special attention to the problem of hair loss. Treatment is the key. It is necessary to focus on strengthening nutritional support to successfully complete radiotherapy and achieve a good treatment effect. Radiotherapy for cervical cancer may cause side effects such as local skin damage, radiation cystitis, and radiation proctitis. However, with the continuous updating of radiotherapy equipment and the continuous improvement of radiotherapy technology, it generally does not cause more serious side effects. Radiotherapy for cervical cancer will cause hair loss. The drugs damage hair follicle cells and cause hair loss.
