Depending on the stage of cervical cancer, surgery may be recommended. This could involve removing the cancerous tissue, part of the cervix, or in more advanced cases, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments, such as surgery or chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. It may be administered orally or intravenously and is often used in combination with other treatments.
Immunotherapy stimulates the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. This approach is still being researched for cervical cancer, and its use may be limited to certain cases or clinical trials.
Targeted therapy drugs are designed to specifically target cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. These drugs work differently from standard chemotherapy and may be used in certain cases of cervical cancer.
