My age is 52 years old and I was bleeding for 3 months. My gynecologists advised me to have a Pap smear. On that exam, the result was that I have grade 1A cervical cancer. Sir, I want to know what the future outlook is or my type of cancer with standard treatment. Are there other treatments that might be appropriate for my type of cancer? What treatment do you recommend for me? With respect, Mumtaz |

Dear Mumtaz Begam The most common treatment for early stage cervical cancers is radical hysterectomy (surgical removal of the cervix and uterus). The alternative is radiation therapy, which is usually given in combination with chemotherapy. Some patients with the earliest stage cervical cancers can be treated with cervical conization or simple hysterectomy alone. The treatment is more aggresive in the earlier stages because of possibility of achieving the cure. Thanks with Regards Dr J S Chowhan |
