Cervical Cancer – All you need to know

Cervical Cancer – An overview

Symptoms & Signs

The early stages of cervical cancer may be completely free of symptoms. In many women, with 

early-stage cervical cancer, symptoms do typically appear. In women with advanced and metastatic 

cancers, the symptoms may be more severe depending on the tissues and organs to which the 

disease has spread.

Diagnosis

Treatment for cervical cancer depends on several factors, such as the stage of the cancer, other
health problems you may have and your preferences. Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a
combination of the three may be used.

Post treatment care

It’s important to let your doctor know about any new symptoms or problems, because they could be caused by the cancer coming back or by a new disease or a second cancer.

Supportive care for cervical cancer

Supportive care helps women meet the physical, practical, emotional and spiritual challenges of cervical cancer. It is an important part of cancer care. There are many programs and services available to help meet the needs and improve the quality of life of people living with cancer and their loved ones.
