Cervical Cancer Treatments
There are treatments for all patients with cervical cancer. Uses three kinds of treatment:
* Surgery (taking out the cancer in an operation)
* Radiation therapy (high energy radiation to kill cancer cells).
* Chemotherapy (drugs or “poison” to kill cancer cells).
The cancer can be removed using any of the following:
*Cryosurgery involves the removal of the cancer by freezing.
*The laser surgery is the use of a beam of intense light to kill cancer cells.
*Conization is the removal of a piece of fabric into a cone shape in the location of the abnormality. It is used for biopsies, but also for the treatment of early cancers of the cervix.
*Electrosurgical excision (LEEP, an acronym in English) uses an electric current passes through a thin wire loop, which serves as a blade.
*A hysterectomy is an operation that removes the entire uterus, including all cervical cancer as well.
