What does my mother's cervical cancer staging suggest?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through the reports, and my opinion is as follows:

Diagnosis is that of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix, moderately differentiated, non-keratinizing type. Your mother has undergone Wertheim's hysterectomy, also called a radical hysterectomy. This is the surgical procedure of removal of the womb along with some of the surrounding structures. Tumor cells, at any location, induce inflammation. They are foreign cells, so some amount of inflammation will be found around the tumor tissue. During the time of taking bits of tissue for histopathology reporting, some tumor sections stay back in the sectioning area. These can attach to other areas and can present as tumor tissue. These are called floaters. Parametrium is the fibrous tissue that separates the cervix from the bladder.

The above-mentioned tissue is found in the right parametrium and hence interpreted as floaters. Also, tissue overlapping can occur during sectioning times.

Here the tumor tissue is attached to the parametrium, thereby being interpreted as parametrium invasion and hence changing the stage of the tumor. Unless tumor cells with surrounding inflammation are present, they would be floaters. Here it is only an overlap. Lymph nodes are not involved. So further treatment will not be necessary.

I hope this information helps you.

Please feel free to contact in case of any further queries.

Thank you.
