Types Of Cervical Cancer
Type detection of cervical cancer suffered by the patient will help the doctor in giving the right treatment. Types of cancer of the cervix is divided into two, namely:
Squamous cell carcinoma (KSS). KSS is a type of cancer of the cervix most often occur. KSS begins in squamous cells, namely the cells lining the outside of the neck of the uterus.
Adenocarcinoma. The type of cervical cancer begins in the glandular cells in the cervical canal.
In rare cases, both types of cervical cancer above may occur simultaneously.
The Stage Of Cancer Of The Cervix
Phase or stage is used to describe the rate of spread of the cancer. The higher the stage of the cancer, then more widely spread. Here is the stage of cervical cancer based on the spread:
Stage 1
Cancer cells grow on the surface of the cervix, but has not spread to the outside of the uterus.
There is a possibility the cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes, but not yet attacking organs in the vicinity.
The size of cancer varies, could even be more than 4 cm.
Stage 2
The cancer has already spread to the uterus, but has not spread to the lower vagina or the pelvic wall.
There is a possibility the cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes, but not yet attacking organs in the vicinity.
The size of cancer varies, could even be more than 4 cm.
Stage 3
Cancer has spread to the lower part of the vagina, and pressing the urinary tract and cause hydronephrosis.
There is a possibility the cancer has already spread to the lymph nodes, but not yet attacking organs in the vicinity.
Stage 4
The cancer has spread to other organs, such as the bladder, liver, lungs, intestines, or bones.
The study revealed that life expectancy in patients with cervical cancer depends stage experienced. Despite this, life expectancy was just a matter of the percentage of patients still alive, five years after being diagnosed with cervical cancer.
For example, the life expectancy of 80% means 80 out of 100 patients survive 5 years after diagnosis of cervical cancer. Please be aware, many patients live more than 5 years after diagnosed with cervical cancer. The following is the life expectancy in patients with cervical cancer by stage experienced:
Stage 1 – from 80 to 93%
Stage 2 – 58-63%
Stage 3 – 32-35%
Stage 4 – 15-16%
