A member asked:
Do people sometimes survive cervical cancer without a hysterectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: An early cervical caner can be treated (and cured) with a cone biopsy or leep procedure and do not require hysterectomy. Many relatively advanced cervical cancers are treated with radiation therapy instead of hysterectomy - with reasonable success rates. Some cervical cancers are best treated by hysterectomy.
