Can uterine cancer in the elderly be cured?

Can uterine cancer be cured in the elderly? Uterine cancer is a series of malignant tumors that occur in the uterus. The most common cancers in the uterus are endometrial cancer and cervical cancer. Ordinary physical examinations can only check the cervix, not the uterus. Two-thirds of patients who seek medical treatment three months after the onset of symptoms of cervical cancer are in the late stage of cancer. If there are no symptoms, the physical examination may show early or middle stage cancer. Endometrial cancer requires curettage to be diagnosed, and it is more common in menopause and menopause. So, can uterine cancer be cured in the elderly?

It is generally believed that uterine cancer develops slowly and spreads and metastasizes later. Surgery is the best treatment in the early and middle stages. Chemotherapy + traditional Chinese medicine treatment is recommended in the late stage.

After cervical cancer is cured, recovery is generally better, mainly depending on what stage the cervical cancer is in. After the carcinoma in situ is discovered, the recovery effect is quite good, and the five-year survival rate may be 100%. Of course, in the middle stage, the five-year survival rate may be 70% or 80%. In the late stage, the five-year survival rate may be only 40%, 50%, or 30% or 40%.

Uterine cancer is usually called endometrial cancer, which occurs in the inner layer of the uterus. It is a common cancer in the female reproductive system and ranks fourth among the most common cancers in women. It is more common in women aged 50 to 60, and often occurs after menopause. The incidence rate has been increasing worldwide in recent years. It can metastasize to many parts of the body: from the uterus downward to the cervical canal, from the fallopian tube upward to the ovaries; it can also infiltrate the tissues around the uterus; or it can be transferred to parts far away from the uterus through the lymphatic system and blood circulation.

Causes

Women who marry early, have children early, have multiple births, or have disordered sexual life have a higher incidence of the disease. It is also believed that the cholesterol in the smegma can be transformed into a carcinogen after being acted upon by bacteria. It is also an important cause of cervical cancer. Possible causes of uterine cancer include:

1. Sexual life

If a woman has more than two male partners, her risk of developing uterine cancer increases significantly.

2. Sexually transmitted infections

Infection with sexually transmitted diseases usually indicates a more complicated sexual life, and the risk of uterine cancer will be relatively higher.

3. Inflammation of the cervix

If there is long-term damage, breakage, erosion, or inflammation of the cervix, it may turn into early uterine cancer cells.
