Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard treatment for cervical cancer in Hyderabad?
Standard curative treatment for most cervical cancers includes a combination of concurrent chemoradiation (external IMRT radiation + chemotherapy) followed by internal radiation known as brachytherapy.
Is brachytherapy painful?
The placement of the brachytherapy applicators is performed under anesthesia in an operating room, so you will not feel pain. Some mild discomfort may occur afterward, which is managed with appropriate medication.
What are the success rates for cervical cancer radiation?
When treated early and with a combination of modern IMRT and brachytherapy, the cure rates for cervical cancer are very high, often exceeding 80-90% for early stages.
Will I need surgery if I get radiation?
In many cases of cervical cancer, the combination of external radiation, chemotherapy, and brachytherapy is the definitive, curative treatment, meaning major surgery (hysterectomy) is not required.
