Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus.
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. Persistent infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus is a major cause of cervical cancer.
Possible symptoms may include:
Early cervical cancer may not cause symptoms. Screening and timely evaluation of abnormal findings are important.
Diagnosis and staging usually combine examination, imaging and a tissue test. Depending on your symptoms and reports, your oncologist may recommend:
The biopsy confirms the diagnosis; scans show the size and spread of the disease, which together decide the stage.
Staging describes how large the cancer is and whether it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Along with the pathology report, biomarkers and your overall health, the stage guides whether treatment aims to cure the cancer, control it over a longer period, or relieve symptoms.
Treatment depends on the stage and may include:
The treatment plan should be determined by a specialised cancer care team.
Cancer surgery, including minimally invasive approaches for selected patients, led by Dr. Anand Karnawat (MCh Surgical Oncology).
Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy when appropriate, planned by Dr. Khushboo Jain Karnawat (DM Medical Oncology).
Treatment decisions by a trained surgical oncologist and medical oncologist.
Surgery, systemic therapy and supportive care planned together around your reports.
Modular operation theatre and intensive care for patients who need it.
Specialist cancer care in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for patients across Marathwada.
Common warning signs include bleeding between menstrual periods, bleeding after sexual intercourse, bleeding after menopause. These symptoms can also have other causes, so a persistent change should be checked by a doctor.
Usually a combination of pap test and HPV test, colposcopy with biopsy, MRI of the pelvis, depending on your symptoms and examination findings.
A surgical oncologist and a medical oncologist usually plan treatment together. At Karnawat Cancer Hospital this is coordinated by Dr. Anand Karnawat and Dr. Khushboo Jain Karnawat.
Many patients are treated successfully, especially when the cancer is found early. The outcome depends on the type, stage, biomarkers and overall health, and your oncologist will explain the realistic goals of treatment in your case.
Bring all biopsy and pathology reports, scan reports and CDs, blood test results, a list of current medicines and details of any treatment already received.
