If cervical cancer is detected, a woman would be well advised to seek a second opinion without delay. A confirmation of the diagnosis will lead to any, or a combination of the following treatments:
1. Surgery. Treats the cervix and body parts adjacent to it.
2. Radiation Therapy. High-energy rays target the area and destroy cervical cancer cells. There are two kinds of radiation: external and internal.
3. Chemotherapy. Potent anticancer drugs are injected to try to combat cancer cells.
A woman suffering from cervical cancer must not lose hope. If she is in the right treatment program, and is receiving moral support from her loved ones, the chance of her survival will be great.
