Patient's question:
A classmate's mother has been diagnosed with advanced pelvic cancer and has developed systemic metastases. She is now preparing to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy. How long can someone with systemic metastases from pelvic cancer live?Doctor's answer:
Hello, pelvic cancer is not easy to cure. It depends on the specific condition of the disease and the patient's physical condition. Generally, treatment can include surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. You can visit and receive treatment in the oncology department of a regular hospital. The first step in treating pelvic cancer is to surgically remove the tumor. It is also necessary to determine whether the tumor has already metastasized. Usually, after surgery, local or systemic radiotherapy is performed to prevent the regeneration or spread of cancer cells. Therefore, it is important to have regular follow-up examinations after the initial treatment.
