Determining the appropriate cervical cancer treatment for a particular woman can be a daunting task. Options vary depending on the patient’s age, health, potential for pregnancy, and cancer stage. At Regional Cancer Care Associates, our team of oncologists and hematologists has the expertise, latest therapies, and state-of-the-art technologies to identify and deliver the treatment that is best for each patient. We offer multiple treatments for cervical cancer at our 25 offices in New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, and the Washington, D.C., area.
Treatment options for cervical cancer include:
The type of surgery a doctor will recommend for cervical cancer depends on several factors, including the cancer’s stage. Approaches include:
Radiation therapy is often used in conjunction with surgery or other treatments. This treatment modality focuses high-energy beams on cancer to kill malignant cells. There are two main kinds of radiation therapy:
Chemotherapy involves the use of oral or intravenously administered drugs to kill cancer cells. Doctors often use chemotherapy in combination with radiation therapy to treat cancer.
Immunotherapy targets cancer cells via certain drugs, antibodies, and vaccines that harness the power of the body’s immune system to identify and attack cancer. H3: Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy focuses of attacking cancerous cells with specific genetic mutations while leaving health cells unharmed.
As with any type of medical treatment, cervical cancer therapies may have side effects, such as fatigue, infection, loss of appetite, or vomiting, depending on the treatment administered. The oncologists and nurses at Regional Cancer Care Associates have long experience in preventing, minimizing, and treating the side effects of cancer treatment.
Risk factors for cervical cancer include:

Signs of cervical cancer during stages II to IV of the disease, when cancer has spread beyond the cervix, may include:
It is important to note that these symptoms may reflect a wide variety of causes other than cancer. However, they warrant prompt evaluation by a medical professional.
