Cervical cancer is one of the most dangerous malignant diseases in gynecology. It is relatively often diagnosed and its course is quite severe. The symptoms of the disease manifest themselves late. In the early stages of the development of the disease, medical science copes with it successfully. However, in the further progression of the pathology, when symptoms appear, it is very difficult to completely cure it. Cervical cancer in developing countries is considered one of the main causes of death of women from cancer. In developed countries, pathology is much less common due to the screening of the population. The pathological changes in epithelial cells are successfully detected and cured even at the stage of precancerous processes.
What is cervical conization?
Cervical conization is a surgical procedure that removes a part of the uterus in the form of a cone. The surgical technique itself may be different. The doctors may use not only a classical method, in which a fragment of an organ is resected with a scalpel, but also various physical energies that have become widespread in gynecology, such as electrocoagulation or the radio wave method.
The benefits of conization:
- no need for rehabilitation;
- minimal invasiveness of the surgical procedure;
- low risk of complications;
- low cost;
- preservation of fertility.
When can cervical cancer be cured with conization?
The conization is not always used as the main method of treatment in gynecology. This is only possible in the early stages.
As a method of choice, the conization is used only in case of cancer in situ (stage 0), which refers to squamous cell carcinoma by its histological type. Should adenocarcinoma be detected, the preference will be given to hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus.
However, there are situations when a woman wants to maintain fertility. In this case, conization can be performed at the stage 1A. The operation is followed by the examination of the edges of the removed tissue. Should there be found cancer cells, the doctors will perform repeated, expanded surgery.
Such surgical tactics are more risky for the patient, because conization gives more relapses than hysterectomy. Therefore, it is better to resort to this surgical procedure at stage 1 or in the case of stage 0 adenocarcinoma only in cases where the patient is confident that in the near future she will have pregnancy and childbirth.
In any case, conization is possible only at the very beginning of the disease, when the patient does not have any symptoms. It can be detected so early only with the preventive diagnostics. If a woman regularly has a smear test for oncocytology, the sample will show cancer cells. Subsequently, she will undergo colposcopy and biopsy. Should the diagnosis be confirmed, a small neoplasm will be immediately removed using cervical conization.
Some women visit a doctor only after the onset of symptoms. This suggests that the disease is at least at the second stage. In this case, it is impossible to cure cervical cancer by performing conization. Therefore, the patient cannot undergo this operation.
