  2. A Look at Cervical Cancer and its Treatment Options Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cells lining the cervix, which is the end of the uterus. In most cases, cervical cancer is caused by a virus called Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The most common type of cervical cancer is squamous cell carcinoma, which begins in the thin, flat cells lining the cervix. Adenocarcinoma, which begins in the glandular cells, is the second most common type of cervical cancer.  While cervical cancer is highly preventable through regular screenings and vaccines, it is still one of the leading causes of death among women around the world. In this blog post, we will take a look at cervical cancer - its symptoms, diagnosis methods, and cervical cancer treatmentoptions. 

  3. What are the Symptoms of Cervical Cancer? • The most common symptom of cervical cancer is abnormal bleeding. This may include: • Unusual bleeding, such as in between periods, after sex, or after menopause • Vaginal discharge that looks or smells different than usual • Pain in the pelvis • Urge to urinate more often • Pain during urination • If cancer has spread to other parts of the body, additional symptoms may include: • Fatigue • Weight loss • Bone pain

  4. What are the Treatment options for Cervical Cancer? • There are a few different ways for cervical cancer treatment, and the method used will depend on how far along the cancer is.  • LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) • If the cancer is caught early, a cone biopsy or LEEP procedure may be all that is needed to remove the cancerous tissue.  • Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)  • A hysterectomy, which involves removing the uterus surgically, may be required if cancer has spread. • Chemotherapy  • For ovarian cancer, chemotherapy is typically delivered orally (by mouth), intravenously (through a vein) or directly into the abdomen through a catheter, in a treatment called intraperitoneal chemotherapy. • Hormone therapy  • Hormone therapy deprives ovarian cancer cells of the hormones they need to grow, including estrogen. • Targeted therapy  • Targeted therapy drugs called PARP inhibitors, which are designed to stop tumor cells from repairing themselves, are often used to treat ovarian cancer.
