Patient's question:
On July 19th of this year, I had a physical examination. Today, the examination center called me and said that there were squamous cells in the cervical scraping. They recommended that I have a colposcopy examination at a Grade A hospital for a follow-up check. Could I possibly have cervical cancer?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, cervical cancer can be cured, especially in early cases. Regardless of whether surgery or radiotherapy is used, the effect is relatively good, with a 5-year survival rate of about 95%. For advanced cases, the treatment effect is poorer. If appropriate comprehensive treatment methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are selected, there are cases that can be cured. Even if it cannot be completely cured, if the development of the tumor can be temporarily suppressed or delayed, the quality of life of the patient can be improved and the survival period can be extended.
