Cervical Cancer Treatment
Cervical Cancer Treatment depends on the stage of cancer, patient’s health, and treatment goals. Early-stage cervical cancer is often treated with surgery or radiation, while advanced stages may require a combination of radiation and chemotherapy. Newer treatments like targeted therapy and immunotherapy are also being used for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
Conization - This involves the removal of the few cells that have possibly begun to develop into cancer. Only suitable for cancer that can be viewed microscopically.
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) - This involves electrosurgical ablation of the few abnormal cells that have started to develop into cancer.
Minimally Invasive Radical Hysterectomy (Laparoscopic) - This surgery aims to cure early-stage cervical cancer and prevent recurrence. In this, the cervix, uterus, a part of vagina and nearby lymph nodes are removed.
Bilateral Salpingo-oophorectomy - This surgery is most often conducted along with hysterectomy in some patients and involves the complete removal of both the Fallopian tubes and the ovaries.
Minimally Invasive Radical Trachelectomy - This surgery involves the removal of the cervix while retaining the uterus, therefore, it is possible for patients to become pregnant in the future.
Pelvic Exenteration - This surgery is most commonly performed when the cancer has returned after initial treatment. It involves the removal of cervix, uterus, the Fallopian tubes and the ovaries.
Chemotherapy - This involves the intravenous administration of cancer-killing medicines. Usually 4 to 8 cycles are prescribed.
Radiation Therapy - This involves the delivery of external radiation, usually 25 to 30 sessions, to kill the residual cancer cells.
Immunotherapy - This is an advanced treatment that involves the intravenous administration of drugs that boosts the immune system against cancer. It is usually used in the case of recurrent or metastatic cancer.
Targeted Therapy - This is an advanced treatment that involves the intravenous administration of medicines that target specific sites on the cancer cells.
Brachytherapy - Also known as internal radiation, it is a method in which radioactive seeds are placed at the site of the cancer to destroy the cells from the inside.
Cervical cancer is diagnosed through tests such as Pap smear, HPV DNA test, colposcopy, cervical biopsy, MRI, CT scan, and PET scan. These tests help detect cancerous or precancerous cells, determine the stage, and guide treatment planning.
