Cervical Cancer Treatment Options for Women?
Cervical cancer can be treated through surgery, chemotherapy or radiation depending on the stage of cancer and the personal preferences and medical history of a patient. Over the last few decades, the number of women diagnosed with cervical cancer and deaths related to this type of cancer have been declining due to improved and more accessible screening methods. Cervical cancer treatments are most effective for patients in the earliest stages and the ability to preserve future fertility is more likely with screening and early detection. Given the absence of symptoms during the early stages, it is critical that females undergo routine Pap smears by age 21 at the latest and young girls receive their immunization doses beginning at age 11 or 12. In the majority of patients cervical cancer is caused by HPV, the human papillomavirus, responsible for genital warts and changes to the cervix. If screening indicates the presence of cancerous cells further diagnosis will be performed by examining the cervix and completing a biopsy to determine the extent of cancer and if it has spread beyond the cervical region. Hysterectomy is a complete removal of the uterus and is most effective with early stage patients. While this procedure essentially cures the individual of cancer by removing the cancerous cells, uterus and cervix, it also impacts the ability to become pregnant in the future. For women interested in becoming pregnant the decision to have a hysterectomy is complicated by multiple factors and they may elect a less-invasive treatment method in order to preserve future fertility. Chemotherapy and radiation are the other cervical cancer treatment methods available to women. They may be utilized independently or in combination depending on how far the cancer has advanced. Cervical cancer treatment options should be discussed with a gynecologic oncologist to become informed about the side-effects and success rates of the different treatments. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancerous cells and when given in combination with radiation, chemotherapy maximizes the benefits of radiation. Radiation therapy utilized alone is recommended for those in the earlier stages or as a way to shrink tumors prior to a hysterectomy.
Which is better hysterectomy or Depo-Provera?
Your question indicates significant confusion about the use of Depo Provera. If you have excessive bleeding, you should not look to Depo Provera for a solution. It is not recommended for this purpose. If you are looking to prevent pregnancy, you should not use hysterectomy, as there are safer and less invasive options for this purpose. If you are trying to control endometriosis, removing the uterus alone is not effective. Please contact your health care provider to clarify treatment options for your condition; consider a second opinion as well.
