Cervical Cancer Treatment: Overview and Approaches
Cervical cancer treatment involves medical interventions aimed at removing or controlling malignant cells in the cervix. The choice of treatment depends on the stage of cancer, overall health of the patient, and specific cellular characteristics.
Treatment Approaches
Surgery: Procedures may include conization, hysterectomy, or radical hysterectomy to remove cancerous tissue.
Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation is used to target and destroy cancer cells in localized areas.
Chemotherapy: Anti-cancer drugs are administered to kill rapidly dividing cells, often used in combination with radiation therapy.
