crevical Questions - Treatment options for endocarcinoma

Hi. According to the American Cancer Society data, it is estimated that there would be 12,200 new cases of invasive cervical cancer diagnosed in the US in 2003. Infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) is one of the risk factors for the development of cervical cancer. Persistent infection with the virus is necessary for the development of cervical cancer. Most HPV infections are transient and are undetectable within 1 to 2 years. Treatment of cervical cancer is stage specific. Superficial ablative techniques are done for intraepithelial lesions. For microinvasive cancers invading less than 3 mm, excisional conization or extrafascial hysterectomy can be done. Early invasive cancers are managed with radical surgery or radiotherapy. Locally advanced cancers are managed with radiotherapy. For disseminated disease, palliative radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be done.
