Women with cervical cancer can be treated with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy or a combination thereof.
Surgery. Treats cancer in the cervix and the area near the tumor. The doctor removes the cervix and uterus (total hysterectomy), although some patients require other radical hysterectomy which removes the uterus, cervix and part of the vagina, also removed the lymph nodes near the tumor to see if they have cancer.
Radiation. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill cancer cells.
Chemotherapy. Medications are used to kill cancer cells, often this is combined with radiation therapy when the cancer has spread to other organs.
