Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer ranks as the second most common cancer among women in Sri Lanka, with a study reviewing 2,075 cases showing that 1.8% developed pulmonary metastases over a four-year period.
- Most patients (73.7%) developed lung metastases after their initial cancer diagnosis, with a median onset of 9 months after diagnosis.
- Routine chest X-rays during follow-up were crucial in detecting these metastases, as many patients were asymptomatic or only revealed issues through surveillance imaging.
