Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer may require various treatment approaches, depending on its cause and whether it has metastasized beyond the cervix. Treatment options depend on an accurate diagnosis, making it important to work with experienced cancer doctors who employ state-of-the-art technology. At Cancer Treatment Centers of America^® (CTCA), our doctors treat only cancer, giving them the knowledge to help you make informed decisions about your care.

The cancer care teams at CTCA^® use imaging techniques like PET scans (positron emission tomography) to assess whether your lymph nodes or other tissues show signs of malignancy. Our surgical oncologists are experienced in both minimally invasive and more extensive procedures and may offer multiple options for removing the cancer in some cases. Whether surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or other treatments are among the recommendations, your care team will help you design an individualized plan based on your specific needs. That plan may also include various evidence-based supportive therapies to help you manage cervical cancer-related side effects, like fatigue, nausea, diarrhea and depression. Fertility preserving options may be available for some cervical cancer patients.
