Cancer of Cervix Deepam Meditours (Medical Tourism Company)
Cancer of Cervix • It is the 3rd most common cancer in women worldwide. • Cervical cancer starts in the cells lining the cervix. • It is due to the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. • Caused by HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infection. • HPV infection may cause cervical dysplasia, or abnormal growth of cervical cells. • There may be no symptoms in the early stage.
Types of Cervical Cancer • Squamous cell cervical cancer is the most common. This develops from a skin-like cell (a squamous cell) that covers the cervix which becomes cancerous. • Adenocarcinoma cervical cancer is less common. This develops from a glandular cell (a cell that makes mucus) within the cervical canal which becomes cancerous. To Know more about Cervical Cancer Visit us : www.deepammeditours.com

Or, the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the lungs.
Therapies Option for Cervical Cancer • Chemotherapy : It is a treatment to destroy cancer cells with medicines. • It’s used with radiotherapy, or to help to shrink a tumor before radiotherapy or surgery. • It can also control symptoms if cancer comes back after an initial treatment.
