A member asked:
Can you survive cervical cancer without a hysterectomy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
In rare early stages: In very early stage cervical cancer in patients who are seeking preserve fertility a gyn oncologist will remove only the cervix (trachelectomy). In later stages of cervical cancer a hysterectomy is not done and the cancer is treated with chemotherapy and radiation. Survival is possible in both cases.

Yes if it is early: If cervical cancer is at its earliest stage, 1a, then it is possible to only do a conization to remove the abnormal cells. If it has progressed beyond this a hysterectomy is needed.
