Can cervical biopsy confirm cervical cancer?

The only way we can do and confirm the lesion is to do a cervical biopsy, take a cervical biopsy tissue, remove the biopsy tissue, and then send it for pathological examination. This method is the only way to confirm whether cervical cancer exists. If you are a high-risk group for cervical cancer, such as those with abnormal cervical liquid-based cytology or HPV16 or 18 infection, you must do a cervical biopsy under a colposcopy.

What to do if you have back pain due to cervical cancer?

If cervical cancer patients experience back pain, it may be due to the side effects of multiple chemotherapy, because chemotherapy not only kills tumor cells in the body, but also causes damage to normal cell tissues. It may also be due to advanced cervical cancer, where cancer cells can be transferred through lymph or blood, and then transferred to the spine, causing back pain. There are also some physical therapies for symptomatic support, but they do not have particularly good effects. Therefore, if cervical cancer has distant metastases, especially bone metastases, and obvious pain occurs, some painkillers can be used for treatment, or some anesthetic analgesics can be used for local symptomatic treatment. There will be discomfort and pain, so you should have a balanced diet, pay attention to rest, and avoid fatigue.

How long can you live after cervical cancer removal?

Cervical cancer is divided into carcinoma in situ and invasive cancer. For patients with early-stage carcinoma in situ, only the entire uterus needs to be removed, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not even required after surgery. Patients recover well after surgery, and their overall life expectancy is not affected by the disease. However, if cervical cancer patients are already in the advanced stage of cancer during treatment, improper postoperative care, high emotional stress, and non-cooperation with treatment, the survival rate will be shortened accordingly. If it is only early-stage cervical cancer, you can survive completely for 10 or 20 years after removal, but if the tumor recurs again, it can generally last for 25 years or even longer.
