Patient's question:
A while ago, I felt various discomforts in my body. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was told that it was a tumor disease. I was very worried about how long I could live. How does uterine cancer occur?Doctor's answer:
Uterine cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women's gynecology, including endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and uterine sarcoma, among others. The specific cause of the disease may still be unclear, possibly related to the environment, hereditary transmission, gene mutations, and so on. For cervical cancer, it may be related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Currently, there is also an HPV vaccine that can be administered to prevent HPV infection and indirectly prevent cervical cancer.
