What are the Treatment Options for Cervical Cancer?
Treatment options for cervical cancer depend on the stage of the disease, the size of the tumor, and whether it has spread to other parts of the body. Common treatments include:
Surgery: Procedures such as a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or a trachelectomy (removal of the cervix) may be performed. Radiation therapy: High-energy rays are used to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy: Drugs are used to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. Targeted therapy: Drugs that specifically target cancer cells, often used in combination with other treatments.
