Your doctor may refer you to an oncologist for treatment.  An oncologist is a doctor with special training in cancer and cancer treatments.  Treatment for cervical cancer depends on many factors, including the stage of the cancer, the cancer cell type, your general health, and desire to have children in the future.  You may opt to receive a second opinion about the best kind of cancer treatment for you.  Cancer treatments include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of therapy types.  Most people with cervical cancer receive surgery and another type of treatment. 
 
There are several surgical options for treating very early cervical cancer.  Cryosurgery freezes abnormal cells.  Laser surgery uses a beam of light to burn cells or obtain a tissue sample.  The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) uses electricity to remove abnormal tissues.
 
For more advanced stages of cervical cancer, the uterus may need to be removed with a simple hysterectomy.  A radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection removes the uterus, nearby tissues, the upper part of the vagina, and nearby lymph nodes.  A pelvic exenteration removes the same structures as in a radical hysterectomy plus the bladder, vagina, rectum, and part of the colon.  In this case, reconstructive surgery will create alternative ways to collect and void urine and feces.  Following hysterectomy, a woman will not be able to become pregnant. 
 
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells.  Radiation can be delivered from outside of the body or from radioactive materials that are temporarily placed inside of the body.  Chemotherapy uses cancer-fighting drugs to destroy cancer cells.  There are different types of radiation therapies and chemotherapies.
 
Cervical cancers that are found in pregnant women are addressed with special regard for the life of the mother and unborn baby.  In some cases of very early cervical cancer, the pregnancy may continue to term.  If the cancer is at a later stage, the decision to continue the pregnancy or not must be made.  If the pregnancy is continued, the baby is delivered by cesarean section as soon as it is able to survive outside of the womb.  For very advanced cervical cancer, immediate treatment may be the best option. 
 
Even with treatment, some cases of treated cervical cancer may return.  This is termed “recurrent cervical cancer.”  The cancer may come back in your cervix or in other parts of the body.  Your doctor can explain your risk for recurrent cervical cancer and possible treatments if it does recur.
 
The experience of cancer and cancer treatments can be an emotional process for people with cancer and their loved ones.  It is important that you receive support from a positive source.  Some people find comfort in their family, friends, counselors, co-workers, and faith.  Cancer support groups are another good option.  They can be a good source of information and support from people who understand what you are experiencing.  Ask your doctor for cancer support group locations in your area.
