Treatment and Prevention

If detected early, cervical cancer can be treated successfully using various treatment options like surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy. These treatment options are sometimes used in combination for better outcomes. Regular pelvic exams and cervical Pap smear tests can detect cellular changes early. Therefore, it is the key to prevention of invasive cancers. For women in the age group of 30 to 65, it is recommended to get both Pap test and a human papillomavirus (HPV) test every 5 years. Routine testing is vital for improving the outlook of women with cervical cancer as this cancer is very much treatable when caught early.
