Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is normally a slow-growing cancer that develops over time. A screening test, called a Pap smear, can detect abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. These pre-cancerous conditions can be treated effectively to prevent cervical cancer from developing.

Treatment options for cervical cancer most often include surgery and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy may also be used.

Below we have provided links to many resources that provide information on bladder cancer risk factors, symptoms, treatment and coping.
