How long can you live after uterine fibroids become cancerous?

The survival time after uterine fibroids become cancerous varies from person to person, which is related to the patient's age and the stage of cancer. In the early stage, most patients have no problem surviving for 5 years, but in severe cases, the survival time may not exceed 3 years. The specific survival time varies from person to person. Active treatment can generally delay the progression of the disease.

Uterine fibroids are benign gynecological tumors, but a small number of patients may develop malignant changes. If uterine fibroids are actively treated after becoming cancerous, most people will generally have no problem surviving for 5 years. Early prevention of recurrence and metastasis can be effectively controlled, and the 5-year survival rate can reach 60% or even higher. However, if the cancer cells of severe uterine fibroids spread and the lesions metastasize, the cure rate is relatively low and the recurrence rate is also high. Especially for elderly patients, if they do not receive timely treatment, their survival time is relatively short, which may vary from 2 to 3 years.

Uterine fibroid cancer is a malignant tumor, which usually manifests itself as irregular vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and lumps when touched. After the diagnosis of uterine fibroid cancer is confirmed, it is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment in a timely manner to improve survival time.
