 | | Cervical cancer is staged by the FIGO staging system, which is based on clinical examination, rather than surgical findings. | | | If a cone biopsy was not able to produce clear margins[5], there is one possible option left for those with early stage cervical cancer who would like to preserve their fertility while treating their cervical cancer: a trachelectomy[6]. | | | Treatment: Chemotherapy - Radiation therapy - Immunotherapy - Experimental cancer treatment |

| | Cervical cancer is not as common as other cancers that affect women. | | | Chemotherapy does not work as well against cervical cancer as it does against other forms of the disease, but doctors do prescribe it to treat recurrent cervical cancer. | | | But, as serious as this surgery is, both medically and emotionally, it may be the best option for treating cervical cancer. |

| | The development of cervical cancer is gradual and begins as a pre-cancerous condition called dysplasia. | | | Radiation or chemotherapy may be used to treat cancer that has spread beyond the pelvis, or has recurred. | | | Without treatment, or when treatment fails, cervical cancer is fatal within 2 years for about 95% of women. |

| | For early invasive cancer, surgery is the treatment of choice. | | | The treatment of cervical cancer frequently requires a multidisciplinary approach involving a gynecologic oncologist, radiation oncologist, and medical oncologist. | | | In the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group trial, 403 patients with bulky IB and IIB-IVA cancers were randomized to either radiotherapy to a pelvic and paraaortic field or pelvic radiation with concurrent cisplatin and fluorouracil. |

| | Radiation therapy is a standard treatment for invasive cervical cancer. | | | Radiation therapy and surgery are about equally effective as a single option for treating very small cervical cancers in their earliest stages, with survival rates of up to 85% to 90% in appropriate patients. | | | In the early stages of cervical cancer, surgery is often the preferred primary treatment approach since it preserves normal sexual function. |

| | The traditional approach is to recommend immediate therapy appropriate for the disease stage when the cancer is diagnosed before fetal maturity, and to delay therapy only if the cancer is detected in the final trimester. | | | There is no standard treatment of recurrent cervical cancer that has spread beyond the confines of a radiation or surgical field. | | | Based on these results, strong consideration should be given to the incorporation of concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy with radiation therapy in women who require radiation therapy for treatment of cervical cancer. |

| | Invasive cancer means that the cancer affects the deeper tissues of the cervix and may have spread to other parts of the body. | | | Like all cancers, cancer of the cervix is much more likely to be cured if it is detected early and treated immediately. | | | One of the key features of cervical cancer is its slow progression from normal cervical tissue, to precancerous (or dysplastic) changes in the tissue, to invasive cancer. |

| | Cervical cancer continues to be the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide (after breast cancer). | | | Without treatment, the cancer cells can become invasive by growing into the supporting tissues of the cervix and have the potential to spread to other body sites. | | | With early detection, especially of intraepithelial neoplasia and early invasive forms of cancer, cervical cancer is usually easily treatable. |
