Overview

Common complications of cervical cancer include pain, vaginal bleeding, fistula and renal failure. Prognosis is generally good, and the 5 year survival rate of patients with cervical cancer is approximately 70%.

Natural history

Complications

Advanced stage of cervical cancer can cause varieties of complications, some of these are include:[3]

  • Pain
  • Vaginal hemorrhage
  • Enterovaginal, rectovaginal, and vesico- or ureterovaginal fistulas
  • Renal failure and/or uremia
  • Malnutrition
  • Anemia
  • Mental depression

Prognosis

The prognosis for patients with cervical cancer is Prognosis is generally good, and the 5 year survival rate of patients with cervical cancer is approximately 67.9%, this is heavily because of annual screening wiht Pap smear and introduction of new preventive methods like HPV vaccination to decrease the mortality and incidence rates. Majority of cervical cancer cases can be detected early through the use of screening by Pap test and HPV DNA testing.

Prognosis of cervical cancer depends upon the clinical stage of the disease and distant metastasis.[1][2][4]

These prognostic factors that affecting survival rate are include:[5]

  • Other prognostic factors
  • Other prognostic factors that may affect outcome include the following:
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status: Women with HIV have more aggressive and advanced disease and a poorer prognosis.
  • C-myc overexpression: A study of patients with known invasive squamous carcinoma of the cervix found that overexpression of the C-myc oncogene was associated with a poorer prognosis.
  • Number of cells in S phase: The number of cells in S phase may also have prognostic significance in early cervical carcinoma.
  • HPV-18 DNA: HPV-18 DNA has been found to be an independent adverse molecular prognostic factor. Two studies have shown a worse outcome when HPV-18 was identified in cervical cancers of patients undergoing radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy.
  • A polymorphism in the Gamma-glutamyl hydrolase enzyme, which is related to folate metabolism, has been shown to decrease response to cisplatin, and as a result is associated with poorer outcomes.
