How much does cervical cancer surgery cost in total? Don't be cheated by random charges.

There is no fixed price for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions. It needs to be determined according to the patient's condition and treatment method. At present, medical technology is constantly developing, and treatment methods vary from person to person, so the costs incurred are also different. The treatment cost of cervical precancerous lesions is closely related to factors such as the patient's physical condition and age.

Cervical cancer

Treatment of cervical cancer is very successful if you are diagnosed at an early stage. Survival rates are very high. Pap smears have led to greater detection and treatment of precancerous cell changes. This has reduced the incidence of cervical cancer in Western countries.

The type of treatment for cervical cancer depends on the stage at which it’s diagnosed. More advanced cancers often require a combination of treatments. Standard treatments include:

Surgery

Radiation therapy

Chemotherapy

Treatment of cervical precancerous lesions

There are several ways to treat precancerous cells of the cervix:

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy involves destroying abnormal cervical tissue by freezing it. Cryotherapy is more invasive than surgery. It is often used to treat precancerous changes in the cervix to prevent them from developing into cancer. Local anesthesia may be given during the procedure.

Laser ablation

Lasers can also be used to destroy abnormal or precancerous cells. Laser therapy uses heat to destroy cells. Local anesthesia is usually required, and this can be done in a doctor's office.

Cervical cancer surgery

The goal of cervical cancer surgery is to remove all visible cancer. Sometimes nearby lymph nodes or other tissue are also removed where cancer has spread from the cervix.

Your doctor may recommend surgery based on several factors. This includes how advanced your cancer is, whether you want to have children, and your overall health.

Cone biopsy

Cone biopsy removes a cone-shaped slice of the cervix. Also called cone excision or cervical conization. It can be used to remove precancerous or cancerous cells. The cone shape minimizes the amount of surface tissue. Less tissue is removed beneath the surface.

Conization is done with a cold knife or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). LEEP uses an electrical current to cut and burn cervical tissue.

After conization, the abnormal cells are sent to a specialist for analysis. This procedure can be both a diagnostic technique and a treatment. When no cancer is removed at the edges of the conization section, further treatment may not be necessary.

Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is surgery to remove the uterus and cervix. It greatly reduces the risk of recurrence compared to more local surgeries. However, women cannot have children after a hysterectomy.

There are three methods of hysterectomy:

Abdominal hysterectomy, removal of the uterus through an incision in the abdomen

Vaginal hysterectomy Removal of the uterus through the vagina

A laparoscopic hysterectomy uses tiny instruments to remove the uterus through several small incisions.

Sometimes a radical hysterectomy is needed. It is more extensive than a standard hysterectomy. It removes the upper part of the vagina. It also removes other tissue near the uterus.

In some cases, lymph nodes in the pelvis are also removed. This is called a pelvic lymph node dissection.

Trachotomy

This surgery is an alternative to a hysterectomy. The cervix and upper part of the vagina are removed. The uterus is left in place. It is connected to the vagina with an artificial opening. Voters elect to allow women to maintain their fertility. However, the miscarriage rate is high.

Pelvic resection

This surgery is only used if the cancer has spread. This treatment is usually reserved for more advanced cases.

Uterus

Pelvic lymph nodes

bladder

vaginal

rectum

Part of the colon

The extent of surgery depends on where the cancer has spread.

1. The cost of treating cervical precancerous lesions is generally directly related to the patient's condition: the severity of the condition determines the formulation of the treatment plan and the choice of treatment method, which also affects the cost of treatment. The severity of the condition also determines whether hospitalization is required. If hospitalization is required, hospitalization fees, treatment fees, nursing fees, etc. will be incurred separately, and the costs are different.

2. The cost of treatment for cervical precancerous lesions is related to the treatment method: It is relatively simple to treat patients with early cervical precancerous lesions. Due to different treatment methods, there is no unified standard for the cost of cervical precancerous lesions. Generally, adjuvant chemotherapy is required before surgical treatment of cervical precancerous lesions, and patients need several courses of chemotherapy. TCM adjuvant treatment is indispensable and can play a role in reducing toxicity and increasing efficacy.

3. The cost of treating cervical precancerous lesions is related to the nature of the hospital: The cost of treating cervical precancerous lesions varies depending on the nature of the hospital. Some irregular hospitals often play tricks on the charges, attracting patients with low prices but charging random fees, which makes everyone spend a lot of money in vain and makes patients miserable. Therefore, patients must go to regular hospitals for diagnosis and treatment, avoid detours, recover soon, and say goodbye to the pain caused by the disease.

4. Medical insurance reimbursement will also affect the cost of treatment for cervical precancer: hospitals that cannot pay medical insurance for cervical precancer will pay a little more; hospitals that can pay medical insurance will pay a lot less, which is common sense. Generally, tertiary hospitals are designated medical insurance hospitals, and the charging prices are set and strictly supervised by the Municipal Price Bureau, Municipal Health Bureau and other institutions; the hospital lobby has a price announcement, and everything from registration, examination to treatment will be announced on the patient's payment slip, making the price details transparent so that every patient can see a doctor clearly and spend clearly.

Warm reminder: If you want to save the cost of treating cervical precancerous lesions, you should first choose a regular public hospital, then actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, and eat a healthy diet and eat less irritating food in your life to avoid increasing treatment costs.
