What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer starts in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. In most cases, it is caused by a persistent infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a very common virus transmitted through sexual contact. While HPV infections often clear on their own, in some women the infection remains and can lead to abnormal changes in cervical cells that gradually develop into cancer over time. Cervical cancer usually grows slowly, which makes it one of the few cancers that can be detected early through regular screening tests such as Pap smears and HPV testing. Detecting cervical cancer at an early stage greatly improves treatment success and survival rates. Women with early detection often benefit from fertility-preserving options, while advanced stages may require surgery, radiation, or targeted therapies. Prevention through HPV vaccination, safe lifestyle choices, and regular gynecological checkups plays a vital role in reducing the risk of cervical cancer.

Cervical Cancer Treatment in Ahmedabad

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but with early detection and expert care from a specialist like Dr. Nitin Singhal in Ahmedabad, it is highly treatable. He offers comprehensive cervical cancer treatment that covers every stage of care, from screening and early detection with Pap smear, HPV testing, and colposcopy, to advanced imaging techniques like MRI, CT scan, and PET-CT for precise staging. Dr. Singhal provides a full range of surgical options including radical hysterectomy, fertility-preserving surgery, and lymph node dissection, along with minimally invasive and robotic surgery for faster recovery and reduced pain. In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team, he also offers chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy, while advanced cases benefit from HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) to control the spread within the abdomen, ensuring patients receive the best possible cervical cancer care in Ahmedabad.

Q1. What are the early symptoms of cervical cancer?

👉 In the early stages, cervical cancer may not show any visible symptoms, which is why regular Pap smears and HPV tests are crucial. As the disease progresses, women may experience abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause), pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, or unusual vaginal discharge that may be watery, bloody, or foul-smelling. Regular gynecological checkups can help catch the disease at a stage where treatment is most effective.

Q2. Can cervical cancer be treated without removing the uterus?

👉 Yes, in some early-stage cervical cancer cases, fertility-preserving surgeries such as conization or trachelectomy can be performed, which allow women to retain their uterus and preserve their ability to have children. These procedures are carefully chosen after advanced imaging and staging tests. Dr. Nitin Singhal discusses every case individually, balancing oncological safety with patient’s fertility goals.

Q3. How effective is robotic surgery for cervical cancer?

👉 Robotic cancer surgery has revolutionized the way complex pelvic cancers are treated. It provides the surgeon with greater precision, 3D visualization, and improved control, which means smaller incisions, less blood loss, fewer complications, and quicker recovery for patients. For cervical cancer, robotic-assisted radical hysterectomy or lymph node dissection often leads to better outcomes compared to traditional open surgery. Dr. Nitin Singhal is highly skilled in robotic oncology surgeries and ensures patients benefit from the latest technology.

Q4. Does Dr. Nitin Singhal’s clinic offer insurance or cashless treatment?

👉 Yes, Dr. Nitin Singhal’s cancer care services are supported by cashless treatment options through tie-ups with leading health insurance providers. This ensures patients can receive timely treatment without financial stress. The clinic also assists with insurance paperwork and approvals, making the treatment journey smoother for patients and families.

Q5. What lifestyle changes can help reduce the risk of cervical cancer?

While not all cases are preventable, certain lifestyle choices can significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer. Getting the HPV vaccination is one of the most effective preventive steps. Other measures include safe sexual practices, regular Pap smear and HPV screening, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy immune system, and ensuring timely gynecological checkups. Dr. Nitin Singhal also counsels patients on preventive care to help lower future risk.

Stages of Cervical Cancer

Stage 0

At this stage, only precancerous cells are present on the surface lining of the cervix. It is not invasive, meaning the abnormal cells have not spread deeper. With early detection through Pap smear or HPV testing, this stage can be treated effectively with simple procedures such as conization, laser therapy, or cryotherapy, often preserving fertility.

Stage I

The cancer is confined to the cervix and has not spread outside. Depending on the size of the tumor, treatments may include surgery such as radical hysterectomy or fertility-preserving surgery (for women who wish to have children). Prognosis at this stage is excellent with timely treatment.

Stage 2

The cancer extends beyond the cervix to nearby tissues such as the uterus, upper vagina, or surrounding connective tissue, but it has not reached the pelvic walls. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. In some cases, minimally invasive or robotic surgery may also be considered.

Stage 3

At this advanced stage, cervical cancer spreads further into the lower part of the vagina, pelvic walls, or nearby lymph nodes. Symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or difficulty urinating may appear. Treatment generally involves chemoradiation (chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy) and in selected cases, HIPEC or targeted therapy may be advised.

Stage 4

The most advanced stage, where cervical cancer has spread to distant organs such as the bladder, rectum, lungs, liver, or bones. Treatment focuses on controlling the disease and improving quality of life with targeted therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and palliative care options. At this stage, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for providing the best possible outcomes and patient comfort.
