About the Cervical Cancer Treatment

Cervical cancer is an abnormal growth of cancer cells that starts in the cervix. The cervix is the narrow part of the lower uterus. It is the entrance of the uterus, often referred to as the neck of the womb. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in women around the world. It is the fourth leading cause of death caused by cancer in women. However, the important thing to note is that cervical cancer is also one of the most preventable types of cancer and early diagnosis of the disease can improve the mortality rate amongst patients.

A dramatic reduction in cervical cancer occurrence is primarily due to the widespread use of advanced screening tests such as pap tests to detect cervical abnormalities and allow for early treatment.

Where does cervical cancer take place

Under normal circumstances, the ectocervix is covered with flat, thin cells called squamous cells, and the endocervix is made up of another kind of cells called columnar cells. The area where these cells meet is called the transformation (T) zone. The T zone is the most likely location for cervical cancer cells to develop.

Cervical Cancer Causes

A majority of cervical cancer cases occur because of a virus called human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a sexually transmitted virus. It can transfer through sexual contact with an infected male partner.

There are many types of the HPV virus and not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Some of the HPV may cause genital warts. Some other cervical cancer risk factors include smoking, weak immune system, oral contraceptives, and multiple pregnancies.

More than 90 percent of the cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinoma. The second most common type of cervical cancer is adenocarcinoma. Adenosquamous carcinomas or mixed carcinomas are some of the rare types of cervical cancer.

  • Squamous cell Carcinoma: This is the most common type, accounting for approximately 70-90% of cervical cancer cases. It begins in the flat, thin cells (squamous cells) that line the outer surface of the cervix.
  • Adenocarcinoma: It accounts for 10-30% of cervical cancer cases. It starts in the glandular cells that produce mucus in the cervical canal. Adenocarcinoma may be more challenging to detect early through Pap smears.

How is Cervical Cancer Treatment performed?

The treatment for cervical cancer may vary depending on the stage of the cancer, the patient's overall health, and other factors. Common treatment modalities include:

  • Surgery: Cervical cancer surgery can be used to remove cancer cells from their place of origin and the surrounding tissues. The common types of surgery used for cervical cancer treatment include:
  1. Conization (Cone Biopsy): Removal of a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix to diagnose or treat early-stage cancer. Hysterectomy: Surgical removal of the uterus and, in some cases, surrounding tissues such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes.
  2. Lymphadenectomy: Removal of lymph nodes in the pelvic area to check for cancer spread. Cryosurgery: In this method, an extremely cold metal probe is placed directly on the cervix, which kills the abnormal cells by freezing them.
  3. Laser surgery: In this surgery, a focused laser beam is directed through the vagina which vaporizes abnormal cells.
  • Radiation Therapy: it includes
  1. External Beam Radiation: Directing radiation from outside the body to the cancer site.
  2. Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation): Placing a radioactive source near or inside the tumor.
  • Chemotherapy: This treatment makes use of anti-cancer medicines to kill cancer cells. The cytotoxic medicines used in chemotherapy enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body. This makes chemotherapy treatment useful for preventing cancer cells from dividing and growing in most parts of the body. Chemotherapy is often given in cycles, with each treatment period followed by a recovery time.It may be given orally or intravenously.
  • Targeted Therapy: Medications targeting specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth. This may be used in combination with chemotherapy.
  • Immunotherapy: Boosting the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.

Recovery from Cervical Cancer Treatment

The recovery process and duration of hospital stays following cervical cancer surgery can vary depending on the type of surgery performed and individual factors. Here's a general overview:

  1. Conization (Cone Biopsy) Typically, women can resume normal activities within a few days to a week. Hospital Stay: Conization is often performed on an outpatient basis, requiring no overnight hospital stay.
  2. Hysterectomy: Recovery time can range from a few weeks to several weeks, depending on the extent of surgery. Hospital Stay: For minimally invasive procedures (laparoscopic or robotic), hospital stays are usually shorter, often ranging from one to three days. For an open abdominal hysterectomy, the stay may be longer, typically around three to five days.
  3. Lymphadenectomy: Recovery time is influenced by the extent of lymph node removal. Hospital Stay: Typically, one to three days, depending on the surgical approach and overall recovery progress.

It's very crucial to note that individual recovery experiences may vary, and some women may need more time for healing. After discharge, patients will be advised to follow up with their healthcare team for postoperative care, including monitoring for any signs of complications or infection. Throughout the recovery process, patients are often encouraged to:

  • Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities.
  • Take prescribed medications as directed, including pain management.
  • Attend follow-up appointments for postoperative checks and discussions about further treatment, if needed.
  • Follow any specific instructions provided by the healthcare team, such as dietary guidelines and pelvic rest recommendations.

Moreover, emotional and psychological support is crucial during the recovery period, and healthcare providers may recommend counseling or support groups to address any concerns or emotional aspects of the journey.

Below mentioned are the four stages of cervical cancer: Stage 0: The presence of precancerous cells is found on the surface of the cervix in the form of CIN 3. Stage 1: Cancer cells have grown and spread from the surface into the deeper tissues of the cervix and possibly have not spread into the uterus, nearby lymph nodes, organs or distant body parts. Stage 2: Cancer cells have spread beyond the cervix and uterus but have not moved as far as to the lower parts of the vagina or the pelvic walls. Stage 3: Cancer has grown up till the walls of the pelvis and possibly to the lower part of the vagina. It has started to affect the bladder or rectum and may cause blocking the ureters, which are the tubes that carry urine from the bladder. Cancer, however, may or may not affect the nearby lymph nodes or other body parts. Stage 4: It is the last and the most advanced stage of cancer in which cancer has spread beyond the lower part of the vagina to the distant organs, including the liver, bones, lungs, and lymph nodes. Staying aware of cancer symptoms and seeking medical attention in case of observing any medical symptoms can help in its early detection and treatment, and can also help in increasing the chances of survival.

What are the diagnostic tests for Cervical Cancer?

1. Bimanual pelvic examination and sterile speculum: It is a gynecological examination, in which the doctor checks for abnormalities in the cervix, vagina, uterus, ovaries, and other nearby organs. The doctor starts by checking the vulva located outside the body. Then a device called a speculum is used to view the cervix by keeping the cervical wall open. Some of the organs are not visible, so the doctor inserts two fingers and the other hand gently presses the lower abdomen for feeling the ovaries and uterus. 

2. Pap Test: The doctor gently scrapes the inside and outside of the cervix by taking cell samples for laboratory tests. 

  • Liquid-based cytology test is also called as SurePath or ThinPrep. In this, a thin layer of cells is transferred on a slide after removing mucus and blood from it. 
  • Computer screening is also called AutoPap or FocalPoint. In this, a computer is used to scan the cell sample for any abnormalities. 

3. Human papillomavirus (HPV) typing test: It is similar to a Pap test. Cell samples are collected from the cervix. It can be done along with a Pap test or after the results of the Pap test come out to be abnormal. Specific strains of HPV like HPV 18 and HPV16, are high-risk infections. If the test comes out to be positive, then it means that the person has a high-risk HPV infection but does not necessarily have cancer. 

4. Colposcopy: It can also be done to guide a biopsy of the cervix. A special instrument called a colposcope is used during a colposcopy, which is similar to a microscope. The doctor is able to view the cervix and vagina in a lighted and magnified view. It is not inserted in the body and hence, is similar to a speculum examination. People with a positive or abnormal result of cervical cancer examination receive a colposcopy. 

5. Biopsy: In this, a small amount of tissues is removed for examination. Other tests can suggest the presence of cancer but a biopsy can confirm the presence of cancer. If the lesion is small, the pathologist may remove the entire lesion during the examination. 

  • Endocervical curettage: An ECC is used when the doctor is unable to see the inside area of the opening of the cervix. In this, a small, spoon-shaped device called a curette that helps in scrapping out small amounts of tissue from the cervix. 
  • Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP): In this, an electric current is passed via a thin wire hook. The is used to remove the tissues for examination. It can also remove precancer or early-stage cancer. 
  • Conization (a cone biopsy): In this, a cone-shaped portion of tissue from the cervix. It can help in removing precancers and early-stage cancer. It is performed local or general anesthetic. 

6. Pelvic examination under anesthesia: In cases where there is a necessity for treatment planning, the pelvic area is re-examined under anesthesia for the spread of cancer to other organs like the bladder, rectum, vagina, or uterus.

7. X-ray: In this, x-rays are used to create a picture of the organs and structures in the body by using little amounts of radiation. 

8. Computed tomography (ST Scan): It takes pictures of the body's organs through various angles. It produces a 3D image from various angles that indicated any tumors or abnormalities. It also measures the size of the tumors. Sometimes a contrast dye can be used for more detailed images of the abnormalities. 

9. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): It uses magnetic fields instead of X-rays to create detailed images of the soft tissues and tumor size. A special dye or contrast medium is used to create clearer images. 

10. Positron Emission Tomography (PET Scan): It is usually combined with CT Scan. A small amount of radioactive sugar is injected into the body of the patient. This substance accumulates in the tumor cells as they have higher active energy. A scanner detects this accumulation and creates images of the insides of the body. 

11. Biomarker testing of the tumor: The doctor may recommend some laboratory tests that identify particular proteins, genes, and other factors that are present in the tumor cells. 

>>If they are rectal and bladder problems, the doctor might perform the following procedures:

  • Cystoscopy: In this, a lighted and thin tube called a cystoscope is used to view the insides of the bladder and urethra. The person may be sedated as the tube is inserted into the urethra to check the spread of cancer. 
  • Sigmoidoscopy: In this, a lighted and thin tube called a sigmoidoscope is used to view the rectum and colon. The person may be sedated to check the spread of cancer to the rectum.

What is the survival rate of cervical cancer in India

If cervical cancer is detected at an early stage, then the five-year survival rate is 92%. The survival rate decreases to almost 59% in the advanced stages. 

What is the prevention of cervical cancer?
  • The risk of cervical cancer reduces when a person has been vaccinated with the HPV vaccine. There is a major relationship between cervical cancer and HPV infection. HPV vaccination is recommended for preteens aged 11 and 12 and for people who are below the age of 26. However, it may given to people who are 27 to 45 years of age who are not already vaccinated. 
  • Screening Tests can aid in finding changes and abnormalities in the cervix and nearby organs. Pap tests are done to find out precancerous cell changes and HPV testing. This testing finds out abnormalities in these cells. 
  • Smoking is linked to the onset of cervical cancer. By-products of tobacco have been observed in the cervical mucus of women who have a habit of smoking. These by-products damage the cells in the cervical walls, leading to cervical cancer. 
  • Condoms should be used during intercourse. HPV infection can occur in both female and male genital areas. These areas may not be covered by a latex condom and the areas that are protected by the condom. However, the effect of condoms in preventing HPV infection is not known, but it has been observed that it reduces the chance of cervical cancer.
What is the most common age to get cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is more commonly diagnosed in women between the age group of 35 to 44. The average diagnostic age is usually 50. It is rare that women below the age of 20 are diagnosed with cervical cancer. Many older women are still at risk of developing cervical cancer as they get older. It takes 15 to 20 years for it to develop in women with a healthy immune system.
