The stage of a cancer describes its size and whether it has spread to other parts of the body.
There are various treatments for cervical cancer. The treatment you have will depend on different factors, including the stage of your cancer.
You may have surgery to treat early-stage cervical cancer. There are three types of surgery that may be used.
Radiotherapy uses high-energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells. You may have radiotherapy as a treatment for cervical cancer.
Order booklets, audio CDs and DVDs about cancer treatments. Knowing what to expect could help you cope with any possible side effects.
Different chemotherapy drugs or combinations of chemotherapy drugs are given differently and have different side effects.
You don't have to climb mountains to give something back. For example, we need people affected by cancer to review our booklets, from home, in their own time. Find out more.
