About Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer treatment is a specialized medical intervention managed by a Gynecologic Oncologist, a surgeon with advanced training in cancers of the female reproductive system. The specific procedure depends on the cancer's stage and the patient's overall health, ranging from minimally invasive surgeries like cone biopsy or LEEP for early-stage disease to more extensive operations such as a radical hysterectomy or pelvic exenteration for advanced cases. The goal is to completely remove cancerous tissue while preserving fertility when possible. Treatment often integrates surgery with other modalities like radiation therapy and chemotherapy for a comprehensive, personalized approach to achieve the best possible outcome and long-term survival.

PATIENT REVIEW

Neha Malhotra, a 38-year-old marketing executive...

Neha Malhotra, a 38-year-old marketing executive and mother of a 5-year-old, had been experiencing irregular bleeding between periods and discomfort during intercourse for several months. Initially attributing it to stress, she finally saw her gynecologist after a friend's urging. A Pap smear revealed abnormal cells, and a subsequent colposcopy with biopsy confirmed Stage 1B1 cervical cancer. Her Gynecologic Oncologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a radical trachelectomy, a fertility-sparing surgery to remove the cervix while preserving the uterus, as Neha desperately wanted the possibility of another child. The minimally invasive robotic surgery was successful. Recovery involved pelvic rest for 8 weeks and initial anxiety with each follow-up scan. Emotionally, Neha cycled through fear, guilt ('Did I wait too long?'), and profound grief over the threat to her fertility and life. Two years later, with clear scans and her family by her side, she feels a resilient gratitude and has become an advocate for regular screening, though the fear of recurrence is a quiet, occasional shadow.
