Cervical cancer when found
in its early stages can be successfully treated. The choice of treatment and
the long term outcome of cervical cancer depends on the type and stage of
cancer. Your overall health, age, desire to be able to have children and
quality of life must also be considered.
Treatments for Cervical Cancer
The treatment choices
for cervical cancer include a single therapy or combination of therapies, which
include:
- Surgery - The type of surgery to remove the cancer will depend on the location and the extent of cervical cancer and whether you want to have children.
- Chemoradiation - A chemoradiation is a combination of chemotherapy and radiation and often it is used to treat both the early stage and late stage cervical cancer.
- Radiation Therapy - A radiation therapy uses high dose of X-rays or implants in the vaginal cavity for killing the cancer cells. This is used for certain stages of cervical cancer and often used in combination with surgery.
- Chemotherapy - A chemotherapy uses medicines for killing the cancer cells and it may be used for treating advanced cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer treatment during pregnancy is same as for non-pregnancy women. But the treatment
will depend on the stage of cancer and what trimester you are in. The treatment
may cause problems such as an early delivery or even the loss of the baby.
When You First Find Out About Cancer
You may feel scared or angry or very calm. It’s
normal to experience a wide range of feelings and these would change quickly. Some

friends. If you find your emotional reactions to cancer are getting in way of
your ability to make decisions about your health, then you should talk with
your doctor. The Affordable Cervical Cancer Treatment in India will offer

Post Treatment for Cervical Cancer
It is important to
receive a follow-up care. Your oncologist or a gynecologic oncologist will
schedule regular checkups which include- a pelvic exam and pap test every 3 to
6 months for the first two years. A pelvic exam and a pap test will be required
every six months for another three to five years and then every year. Your
oncologist will recommend follow up tests which include an abdominal and pelvic
computed tomography scan to see if the cancer has spread to other organs in the
belly or pelvis.
The cervical cancer can
recur after treatment and this will depend on the stage of the initial cancer. Cancer
which is found early is less likely to return than which is found at a later
stage. The long term outcome for recurrent cervical cancer depends on how much
the cancer has spread when the recurrence has been diagnosed. The treatments
include surgery, chemoradiation or chemotherapy for relieving the symptoms. You
can talk with your doctor about the treatments of cervical cancer.
A palliative care is a kind
of care for people with serious illness and it’s different from care to cure
your illness. The goal is to improve your quality of life not just for your
body but also your mind and spirit. You can avail to this care along with the

the pain or the side effects and this will help you decide which treatment you
