For cervical cancer patients, there are two types of metastasis: hematogenous metastasis and lymphatic metastasis. Regarding cervical carcinoma metastatic to the lungs, for large solitary pulmonary metastatic tumors, surgery combined with chemotherapy (plus RT for stage IVB) is able to provide a better prognosis. In the majority of cases, metastatic cervical cancer is not curable. However, for some patients who present with recurrent disease in the pelvis (locoregional recurrence) or with limited distant metastatic disease, surgical treatment is potentially curative. The most common places for cervical cancer to spread is to the lymph nodes, liver, lungs and bones.
