Suggest Treatment For Stage 0 Cervical Cancer
After an irregular pap, I took a coposcopy. I was diagnosed with carcinoma in situ in my cervix. I then went for a cone biopsy (awake and not sedated against my will). A week later I have bad ramps. I wanted a hysterectomy as there is a strong family history of gynecological cancers. Please tell me your opinion. I do not want to be chasing this cancer forever or until it is too late. I heve sister who had ovarian cancer and lung cancer, another with uterine and my oldest with rest cancer. My dad has stomach/esophical cancer. I am 52 years old and always had bleeding Hemerotic problems, polyps, etc, etc. please help

In carcinoma in situ adjuvant treatment after surgery is generally not recommended unless there is some high risk features. in these cases we should be following you up at regular intervals. be in touch with gynecologist of your locality

if cone biopsy is done giving you negative margins then you don't need adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy. you should remain in regular follow up with your gynecologist
