Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with stage II pelvic cancer. Is pelvic cancer necessarily treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy? Recently, I want to undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Is it possible?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 regrowth or spread of cancer cells. Therefore, it is advisable to have regular follow-up examinations after the initial treatment.
