Cervical Cancer Treatment in India for Bangladeshi Patients

What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer is a disease where cells in the cervix begin to grow abnormally and form a tumour. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina.

This cancer often develops slowly. It usually begins with pre-cancerous changes that can be found early through routine screening.

The most common cause is HPV (human papillomavirus), a virus spread through sexual contact. Most women clear the virus naturally. But in some cases, it stays in the body and causes changes in the cervix over time.

Types of Cervical Cancer

  • Squamous cell carcinoma: Starts in the outer layer of the cervix and is the most common type.
  • Adenocarcinoma: Begins in the gland cells and is less common but harder to detect early.

Regular Pap tests and HPV screening help spot changes before they become cancer. Knowing what is cervical cancer helps women understand the importance of early checks and treatment.

Why Do People Need Cervical Cancer Treatment?

Cervical cancer treatment is needed when abnormal or cancerous cells are found in the cervix. The aim is to remove or destroy these cells and prevent the cancer from spreading.

Understanding why cervical cancer occurs is also important for early prevention and care.

Main Causes of Cervical Cancer

  • HPV infection: The leading cause in almost all cases.
  • Smoking: Increases the risk of cervical cell changes.
  • Weak immune system: Lowers the body's ability to fight HPV infection.
  • Poor hygiene or multiple pregnancies: Can increase risk slightly.
  • Family history: Some women have a higher chance due to genetics.

Symptoms of Cervical Cancer

The symptoms of cervical cancer may not appear early. As the cancer grows, certain warning signs can show.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

  • Unusual bleeding: Bleeding between periods, after sex, or after menopause.
  • Foul-smelling discharge: Watery, pink, or with a strong odour.
  • Pelvic pain: Not linked to the menstrual cycle.
  • Pain during sex: Discomfort or bleeding during or after intercourse.
  • Frequent urination or pain when passing urine: May happen if cancer spreads to nearby organs.

These signs can have other causes too. But if they do not go away, seeing a doctor is important.

When These Symptoms Lead to Treatment

Doctors may recommend starting cervical cancer treatment when:

  • A Pap test or HPV test shows abnormal cells.
  • A biopsy confirms the presence of cancer.
  • Symptoms like bleeding or pelvic pain worsen.
  • Scans suggest the cancer is spreading beyond the cervix.

Cervical Cancer Treatment Methods

Doctors use different cervical cancer treatment methods depending on how early the cancer is found, the size of the tumour, and the patient’s overall health.

  • Surgery: Often used for early-stage cases. Includes procedures like conization and hysterectomy.
  • Radiation therapy: Kills cancer cells using high-energy beams.
  • Chemotherapy: Uses drugs to shrink or destroy the cancer.
  • Targeted therapy: Blocks cancer cell growth in specific ways. Used in some advanced cases.
  • Combined treatment: Some patients receive both radiation and chemotherapy together for better results.

Early treatment can stop the disease from getting worse. Bangla Health Connect can help you consult top gynaecologic oncologists at Apollo Hospitals across India for expert care.

Success Rate & Outcomes of Cervical Cancer Treatment

Understanding Success Rates

The outcome of cervical cancer treatment depends significantly on how early the disease is detected. The National Cancer Institute's research on cervical cancer survival rates provides the following insights:

  • Early-stage detection: When caught early, the 5-year survival rate is as high as 91%, with many patients making a full recovery.
  • Regional spread: If the cancer has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate is around 60%.
  • Distant spread: For cases where the cancer has reached distant organs, the survival rate drops to about 19%.
  • Overall survival rate: Across all stages, the general 5-year survival rate stands at approximately 67%.

These numbers highlight the importance of early diagnosis in improving treatment success and long-term outcomes.

What Does 'Success' Mean?

In cervical cancer, “success” can mean different things, such as:

  • Removing the cancer completely through surgery or treatment
  • Preventing the cancer from coming back
  • Reducing symptoms like bleeding, pain, or discharge
  • Helping patients live longer with a better quality of life

Apollo Hospitals' Track Record

They offer HPV testing, Pap smear facilities, and advanced imaging like MRI and colposcopy to diagnose cases early. For treatment, Apollo uses laparoscopic and robotic surgery options, combined with targeted therapies when needed.

Dr. Kumar Gubbala explains cervical cancer symptoms and diagnosis from Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Chennai

Dr. Kumar Gubbala, Senior Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Chennai, states:

“Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women after breast cancer. Around 125,000 new cases are detected every year in India. The most common symptoms of cervical cancer are bleeding after sexual intercourse, bleeding between periods, or abnormal discharge. Cervical cancer is diagnosed one, with clinical examination; two, by taking a biopsy; and three, by imaging to see how far it has spread.”

Apollo Hospitals use advanced surgical tools, radiation machines, and a team-based approach to give each patient the best chance of recovery.
