Cervical Cancer Diagnosis

Regular screenings, such as Pap and HPV tests, are an important part of early detection and reducing your risk of developing cervical cancer. Learn about testing that determines if cervical cancer is present.

Staging Cervical Cancer

The cancer’s extent is one factor that impacts treatment options. Staging helps your oncologist determine how far it has spread and recommend the most effective methods to remove cancer cells and prevent recurrence.

The Latest Cervical Cancer Treatment Options

The right treatment approach for you will depend on the type, staging, your age, and overall health. Your oncologist will also consider your personal preferences, including whether you want to become pregnant in the future, and potential side effects. Most treatment plans include surgery. Additional treatments may be necessary and can include radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

Gynecologic Surgical Oncology

Surgery is commonly a part of treating cervical cancer in earlier stages, before the cancer has spread too far outside of the cervix. Compass Oncology gynecologic surgeons are up to date on advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopy and robot-assisted hysterectomy. We are dedicated to providing our patients with the most individualized care.
