Cervical cancer

Treatment
Treatment of cervical cancer depends on the stage of the disease. If the cancer is either limited to the lining of the cervix or contained within the cervix, then the tissue containing the abnormal cells can usually be removed surgically.

More advanced cervical cancer may require surgery to remove the affected tissue and organs, followed by radiation treatments to destroy any remaining cancerous cells. If the cancer has metastasised, chemotherapy may be required.

As methods, treatments, and therapeutic drugs are constantly evolving, your gynaecological oncologist will discuss treatment options and help choose a treatment plan that is best for you.
