Patient's question:
I have already gone to the hospital for a check-up. I want to consult about the surgical treatment outcomes for advanced pelvic cancer. How are the surgical treatment outcomes for advanced pelvic cancer? Which hospital in Jiangsu performs pelvic cancer surgery well?Doctor's answer:
Actually, there is no definitive answer to the question of how effective surgical treatment is for advanced pelvic cancer. The pelvic region involves multiple organs, and referring to 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 initial adjuvant chemotherapy. Preoperative chemotherapy can effectively reduce cancer lesions and microscopic cancer cells, which facilitates the surgery and prolongs the disease-free survival period post-surgery. Two to four cycles of chemotherapy are typically sufficient for surgical resection. Subsequently, consolidation chemotherapy should be continued to further extend the survival period of patients after treatment.
