can anyone please tell me the details of cervical cancer, that would REALLY help me, if you give me good information on it and in detail or whatever you'll get 10 points, or whatever points the best answer gets THANK YOU!

Answer:

everyone here means well, but no one has given you good information. I am a cervical cancer survivor, I had cancer cells removed from my cervix (the opening to the uterues). I still have my cervix & utereus and I didn't have to have chemo or radation( radation is preferred for cervical cancer NOT chemo)

not all cervical cancers are caused by HPV. I get tested all the time, and have not once come back positive for HPV

It is cancer of the womb.That is why we need to get pap smears once a year.If caught early there's a good chance of recovery.

It's not cancer of the womb, the womb is the uterus. Cervical cancer is just like any cancer, there isn't a cure. However, precancer cells are 100% curable. Cancer can be treated, not cured. It can also go into remission though. It is treated by radiation, chemo, and possibly surgery.

There is no cure for cancer. Cure implies no recurrence. Oncologist prefer the word "remission. Treatment may achieve indefinite remissions.

As for cervical cancer, the primary treatment is surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy. Obviously, if caught early before spread, the prognosis is much better.
