My mom was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer. Because of this, i was eager to know more about this illness and i just found out that this cancer has different stages. I just want to know what stage the cervical cancer is...The diagnosis was this:Squamous cell carcinoma, large cell, non-keratinizing type with infiltration to the whole thickness of the cervix, 4.0cm, extending to the lower half of the uterine corpus.Lympathic vessels in the myometrium, positive for tumor. All three(3) right external illiac lymph nodes, postive for metases. The following are negative for tumor: endometrium, both tubes and ovaries, both parametria, one left external iliac lymph node and two right obturator lymph nodes.Based on the cancer stage will determine the survival rate.. According to the daignosis,what stage of cervical cancer do you think this is?Please help and another question.. what is a parametria?sorry there was a wrong spellingmetases should be spelled as metastases

~These are questions you need to ask your mom or her doctor. There is too much misinformation on YahooAnswers to rely on it for accurate information. Good luck to both of you.
