A member asked:

What can be done to slow cervical cancer progression?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Depending on stage: Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of them can be used to effectively treat and possibly slow the progression. An oncologist can help in setting up a treatment plan.

Specializes in Gynecologic Oncology

Depends: Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the 3 tools we use to combat cervical cancer. It depends on the stage of the cancer and its location as to which one is the best choice.
