Patient's question:
In 2008, irregular vaginal bleedingDoctor's answer:
The treatment of cervical cancer primarily involves surgery and radiotherapy. In particular, squamous cell carcinoma is more sensitive to radiotherapy. In recent years, the rapid development of anticancer chemical drugs has made chemotherapy, which was once considered ineffective for cervical cancer, a common method for adjuvant treatment, especially for advanced or recurrent cases. Administering chemotherapy before surgery or radiotherapy, allowing the tumor to shrink or partially shrink before proceeding with surgery or radiotherapy, or adding chemotherapy after surgery or radiotherapy, can enhance the therapeutic effect. Based on our experience, for stage I and II cervical cancer, performing interventional surgery—bilateral uterine artery embolization and chemotherapy—10 to 14 days before surgery can reduce intraoperative bleeding and improve long-term survival rates.
