Kindly advise on how to proceed with my wife's cervical cancer treatment.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have reviewed the reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Unfortunately, your wife has stage 1 cervical cancer. Though it is in the initial stage, it requires regular follow-up and further investigation.

The treatment choice also depends on whether the patient can be followed up at regular intervals to find any other seedlings. The various treatment options include:

• Abdominal hysterectomy.
• LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) procedure.
• Laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Kindly consult your surgical oncologist further in this regard.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I will answer your queries one by one:

• At this stage, cervical cancer is entirely curable.
• Admission to the hospital depends upon the type of treatment chosen. She requires hospital admission for a hysterectomy.
• As far as regular jobs are concerned, she can do normal jobs after the treatment.
• Hair fall occurs in chemotherapy (medical treatment of cancer). However, the role of chemotherapy has not been successful in cervical cancer.
• She can have a baby by surrogacy.
• The survival rates are equal to other people, provided follow-up is done regularly.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The chances of survival in your case are very high. Also, a total abdominal hysterectomy is advisable; however, the final decision has to be taken by your treating doctor. Also, hair fall occurs only in chemotherapy.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
