Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe abdominal pain and I'm not sure if I might have cancer. Now, I want to know how to check for pelvic cancer.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the issue of how to detect pelvic cancer needs to be taken seriously. Regarding the question of how to detect pelvic cancer, here is the answer for you: The pelvic region involves multiple organs, and referring to it as "pelvic cancer" in a general sense is incorrect. If the cancer has metastasized to the pelvis, regardless of the type of cancer, the first choice is not surgical resection but rather adjuvant chemotherapy. Preoperative chemotherapy can effectively reduce cancer lesions and microscopic cancer cells, which is beneficial for the surgery and prolonging the disease-free survival period after surgery. Two to four cycles of chemotherapy can be followed by surgical resection. Then, consolidation chemotherapy should continue to further extend the survival period of patients after treatment.
