I've been diagnosed with cervical cancer. Are there any optional treatments for me other than a hysterectomy?

Cancer is the most compelling reason for a woman to have a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy is usually performed to treat gynecological cancers: uterine cancer, cervical cancer and ovarian cancer.

Cervical Cancer is easily detected in early stages from a pap smear.

While hysterectomy is the usual treatment for all gynecological cancers, with cervical cancer, there are other treatment options including cryosurgery, LEEP, cervical conization and carbon dioxide laser. These options depend on your particular cervical cancer's progress/stage.

Beyond the hysterectomy as a treatment for gynecological cancer, chemotherapy and/or radiation may also be necessary.
