A member asked:

How quick does cervical cancer spread?

Dr. Ed Kaplan answered

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

Depends: Early detection is curable and that's why pap smears are so important. The ability to spread depends on a number of features- is it poorly differentiated? What stage was it iwhen it was found? Has it gone to lymph nodes already? Sorry- wish i could be more helpful.
