Serious cases of cervical cancer can be successfully treated, although it is hottest to catch cervical cancer early.
The hottest way to do this is with regular, rotuine and periodic paps tests.
In the invasive stage more drastic measrues need to be taken to stop the spread of cancer and even in this case if the cancer has not moved beyond the cervics there is nearly a 90% rate of survival. Forty years ago we couldn’t say that, so things have come alnog way. By getting paps tests abnromal cells are found early and removed or treated really easily.There are many ways used to treat after stage cervical cancer. Hysterectomy surgery in the invasive stages is one of the more popular ways to treat cervical cancer and is used often inn younger women, cause it preserve the ovaries. Hysterectomy removes the uterus and cervix thus remoivng the cancer in the process. Hysterectomies in more serious cases include removing part of the vagina, cervix, uterus as well as any lumph nodes in the region.Radical trachelectomy can be a second method used to preserve fertility, this would remove the cervix and lower part of the uterus, but the rest of the uterus is left for bearing the fetus.
Lymph nodes are also removed in the pelvis and there is further surveillance to see if cancer has spread. Chemotherapy anti cancer drugs can also be used to enter the patients bloodstream which can incraese the effects of radiation to treat cervical cancer.
Radiation treatment is also possible to shrink the tmuors killing the cancer cells.
This prevents the cancer cells from reproducing.The less serious cases are treated with a simple hysterectomy or radical trachelectomy, which would first choice in invasive stages. Smoetimes in after stages a combination of any of these will be used. If you have periodic paps tests you can prevent this level of treatment and even if you have to go through any of these levels of treatment you most likely will end up a cancer survivor like Lance Armstrong.
