Worldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women and the fourth leading cause of death from cancer. The most common sites of metastasis are the pelvic lymph nodes, vagina, and the pelvic sidewalls. Distant metastases are uncommon but can involve the bone, lung, and liver. Characteristics associated with increased rate of distant metastasis include bulky tumor, endometrial extension, lymph node involvement, and advanced disease. We report the case of a woman with stage II cervical carcinoma, who presented with dysphagia due to cervical cancer metastases to the mediastinum.
在全球范围内，宫颈癌是女性中第三大常见癌症，也是癌症死亡的第四大主要原因。最常见的转移部位是盆腔淋巴结、阴道和盆腔侧壁。远处转移并不常见，但可累及骨骼、肺和肝脏。与远处转移率增加相关的特征包括肿瘤体积大、子宫内膜侵犯、淋巴结受累和疾病晚期。我们报告一例II期宫颈癌女性患者，因宫颈癌转移至纵隔而出现吞咽困难。
