Patient's question:
My aunt suffers from pelvic cancer. After multiple rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it has now metastasized to the lymph nodes in her lungs. How long can she live with pelvic cancer metastasizing to the lymph nodes in the lungs?Doctor's answer:
Cancer has developed in the organs within the pelvis, including cervical cancer, malignant tumors of the ovaries, endometrial cancer, and so on. Cervical cancer occurs worldwide and is one of the most common cancers in the human body. It not only ranks first among cancers of the female reproductive organs but is also the most common type of malignant tumor in women. Malignant tumors of the ovaries (ovarian cancer) account for 2.4% to 6.5% of common malignant tumors in women and rank third among cancers of the female reproductive system, following cervical cancer and endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine body cancer, is a common malignant tumor in gynecology and ranks second only to cervical cancer.
