Understanding Cervical Cancer:
Cervical cancer develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection. Risk factors for cervical cancer may include early onset of sexual activity, multiple sexual partners, smoking, a weakened immune system, and a family history of cervical cancer.
Symptoms of cervical cancer may include:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding (e.g., between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause)
- Pelvic pain or discomfort
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue
- Changes in bowel or bladder habits
Early detection and treatment are critical for improving outcomes and increasing survival rates for patients with cervical cancer. Screening tests such as Pap smear and HPV testing can detect precancerous changes in the cervix, allowing for early intervention and prevention of cervical cancer.
Innovative Cervical Cancer Treatments at Zion Medic:
Zion Medic offers a multidisciplinary approach to cervical cancer treatment, integrating advanced technologies and expertise across various specialties to provide comprehensive care to our patients. Our innovative cervical cancer treatments include:
1.Surgical Interventions: Surgical removal of the cervical cancer may be recommended for early-stage tumors that have not spread beyond the cervix. Surgical options may include:
- LLETZ (Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone): A minimally invasive procedure to remove abnormal cervical tissue using a thin wire loop heated by an electrical current.
- Radical Hysterectomy: Surgical removal of the uterus, cervix, surrounding tissues, and nearby lymph nodes.
2.Radiation Therapy: Zion Medic offers advanced radiation therapy techniques for the treatment of cervical cancer, including external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy. These targeted radiation treatments deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissues, maximizing tumor control and minimizing side effects.
3.Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy may be used alone or in combination with surgery and radiation therapy to treat advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. Our medical oncologists prescribe individualized chemotherapy regimens tailored to each patient’s tumor type, stage, and overall health, with the goal of slowing tumor growth, relieving symptoms, and improving quality of life.
4.Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is an emerging treatment modality for cervical cancer that harnesses the power of the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Our team of immunotherapy specialists utilizes innovative immunotherapeutic agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors to stimulate anti-tumor immune responses and enhance treatment outcomes for patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer.
