In what stage of cervical cancer you can say its worst that it will come up to the death of the patient?

Answer 1

While stage is an important indicator in the severity of cancer, it is not the only area that dictates survival rates.

The stage of a cancer describes its size and the extent to which it has spread. The staging system ranges from Stage 0 (early stage) to Stage IV (late stage). Stage I: This stage describes cancer that is still confined to one or both ovaries. Stage IA: This is the earliest form of stage I cancer. Cancer is present inside one ovary. No cancer cells are present on the outside surface of the ovary or in the abdomen or pelvis. Stage IB: With this stage, cancer is present inside both ovaries but no cancer cells are present on the outer surfaces of the ovaries. There are also no cancer cells in the abdomen or pelvis. Stage IC: With this stage, cancer is present in either one or both of the ovaries. In addition, cancer cells may also be present on the outer surfaces of one or both ovaries; the outer wall of a cystic ovarian tumor may have ruptured; or cancer cells may have been found in tissue samples from the abdomen. Stage II: This stage describes cancer that is present in either one or both of the ovaries and has spread to other organs within the pelvis, such as the uterus, Fallopian tubes, bladder, the sigmoid colon, or the rectum. Stage IIA: With this stage, cancer is present in one or both of the ovaries and has spread into the uterus and/or Fallopian tubes. However, cancer cells are not present in the abdomen. Stage IIB: With this stage, cancer is present in one or both of the ovaries and has spread to other pelvic organs, as the bladder, colon, rectum, or uterus. Stage IIC: The cancer is in one or both ovaries, and the cancer has spread to lymph nodes and/or dposits of cancer larger than 2 cm (about 3/4 inch) across are seen in the abdomen. Stage III: This stage describes cancer that is present in one or both of the ovaries. In addition, the cancer has spread past the pelvis to the abdominal lining and/or has spread to the nearby lymph nodes. Stage IIIA: With this stage, the cancer is present in one or both of the ovaries, and cancer cells are also present in small amounts in parts of the abdomen. Stage IIIB: With this stage, the cancer is present in one or both of the ovaries, and cancer cells are also present in amounts less than two centimeters (three-fourths of an inch) in parts of the abdomen. Stage IIIC: With this stage, the cancer is present in one or both of the ovaries. In addition, the cancer has either spread to the nearby lymph nodes or cancer cells are present in amounts greater than two centimeters (three-fourths of an inch) in parts of the abdomen. Stage IV: This is the most advanced stage of ovarian cancer. Cancer cells are present in one or both of the ovaries, and the cancer has spread (metastasized) to other organs igures that are available suggest that in women with early stage ovarian cancer, more than 7 out of 10 (73%) will live for more than 5 years. This is a general figure and individual situations do vary. 5 year survival rates may drop below this level for some women who have a poorer outlook because of general ill health, their age or the type of tumour they have.

In women whose ovarian cancer has spread into tissues close to the ovary more than 3 out of 10 (34%) will live for more than 5 years.

In women whose cancer has spread into lymph nodes close to the tumor, more than a quarter (27%) will live for more than 5 years.

In women whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic cancer), between 5 to 33 out of 100 women (5 to 33%) will live for more than 5 years. The statistics for stage 4 vary quite a bit between reports. This is because this stage covers a lot of different situations. It means the cancer has spread, but it has different effects depending on which type of ovarian cancer it is and which part part of the body it has spread to.in the body, such as the liver or lungs.
