What is cervical cancer? How common is it?

Cervical cancer is cancer that starts in the cervix, which is the lower end of the uterus that meets the upper vagina. Cervical cancer develops in about 13,000 women each year in the United States, resulting in about 4,100 deaths. Since 1980, cervical cancer incidence has decreased by 45%, and cervical cancer mortality (death rate) has decreased by 49%. African American women have the lowest survival rate of any other racial or ethnic group in the United States. Cervical cancer remains a common cause of cancer and cancer death among women in developing countries where cervical cancer screening (Pap tests) are not available. Vaccines against human papillomavirus (HPV).

Cervical cancer is different from cancers that originate in other parts of the uterus (uterus or endometrial cancer). Cervical cancer has a high cure rate if detected early. HPV vaccination is an effective measure to prevent cervical cancer.

The cost of cervical cancer treatment is mainly affected by the following factors:

1. Radiotherapy is the main treatment for middle and late stage cervical cancer. Combining it with traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and improve the patient's quality of life and immune function.

2. Surgical treatment: However, the charging standards in different places are different, and the corresponding treatment costs for cervical cancer are also different. Surgical treatment is very effective.

For patients with early cervical cancer, early surgery is recommended. If the early surgery is successful, pay attention to follow-up examinations and early cure will not have much impact on life expectancy.

Early stage patients are mainly treated with surgery, supplemented by Chinese medicine to prevent recurrence. The general treatment methods for cervical cancer are surgery, radiotherapy, and Chinese medicine.

In short, surgery and radiotherapy are both effective treatments for cervical cancer, and chemotherapy is an effective auxiliary treatment method. According to the early or late stage of the disease, the patient's general condition and the patient's own wishes, an appropriate and satisfactory treatment method can be selected. Therefore, the cost of cervical cancer treatment will be determined according to the patient's actual situation and the treatment method chosen.

The total hysterectomy performed for general benign gynecological diseases is to separate on the outer plane, enter the cervical stroma and cut it just inside the attachment of the main ligament. The cost of treating this type of uterine cancer is very cheap, usually around one thousand yuan.

The cost of cervical cancer treatment is also related to the patient's illness period. There are many treatment methods for cervical cancer, and the treatment plan varies from person to person. The formulation of the treatment plan is related to the patient's age, general condition, scope of the lesion, and the presence or absence of complications.
