Cervical Cancer Treatment Hospital in Delhi, India

Cervical cancer is one the most common cancers in women. You will be in awe to know that in every 7 minutes one woman dies of cervical cancer. Not just this, every year 1,32,000 new cases of cervical cancer are being reported and 74,000 deaths/year are being registered. But, this doesn’t mean that you have to run away from cervical cancer treatment. In fact, you need to get vaccinated on a periodic basis because cervical cancer if detected in early stages can be successfully treated. However, the treatment depends on several factors such as your age, your tests, location of the cancer, stage of the cancer and health problems you may have. Chemotherapy, surgery and radiation or a combination of all three are used for the treatment of cervical cancer.
