Brief Answer:
Benefits more than risk
Detailed Answer:
Hello, You had the
hysterectomy due to grade 1
cervical cancer. If you didnt, the the cancer would easily progress to advanced stage. In any advanced stage disease, spread of cancer to other organs increases. There may be a possibility, that late stahe cervical cancer can cause metastasis in other organs like the kidney. And vice versa. But there is a higher possibility of spread to the kidneys if the cervical cancer was allowed to progress. In short, either way is a no win situation. Usually if stage 1 cervical cancer is operated, and
lymph nodes are negative, then it doesnt require management. But it would be wise that you followed up every 6 months with a
ct scan and
pap smear. Further more, you have already had
kidney cancer, other kidney being affected due to any mets from that is also a possibility. Just do regular follolw ups ad advised. Im sure any major complications can be identified early.
As i mentioned, risk of mtastasis to other organs is always a possibility. It occurs due to lymphatic channels. Normally in advanced stage cancer. With any cancer, there is a possobility of mets to another organ. Its something which needs to be monitored. Its been seen that some organs pass mets to specific organs like the kidney, in your case. And vice versa. Its a risk. Not a surety. Early stage disease doesnt cause metastasis if treated in time. In my opinion, just follow up as advised.
