Cervical Cancer Treatment
Cervical Cancer Treatment – Sheba Medical Center
In women, the cervix is the lower part of the uterus, or womb. The upper area of the cervix is known as the endocervix and contains glandular cells, while the lower area, called the exocervix, is covered in squamous cells. These regions abut each other in the transformation zone, a location where many cervical cancers originate.
About 90% of all cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas originating in the exocervix. A minority of cervical cancers are adenocarcinomas that form in the endocervix. Other cases of cervical cancer are a mixture of these types, known as mixed carcinomas or adenosquamous carcinomas.

Stages
| Stage 0
Carcinoma in situ. The cancer is only present on the surface of the cervix and has not infiltrated deeper layers or elsewhere in the body
| Stage 1
The cancer has invaded the cervix, but not the uterus itself.
| Stage 2
The cancer has traveled beyond the cervix and uterus, but has not invaded the vagina, pelvic walls, or any lymph nodes.
| Stage 3
The cancer is now present in the vagina and/or pelvic walls, but has not invaded distant organs. It may or may not have invaded pelvic lymph nodes.
| Stage 4
The cancer has invaded nearby and/or distant organs and may be blocking urinary flow.
