| Cervical Cancer Treatment Search: |
Before you start to search for the best cervical cancer treatment, find out whether your doctor's treatment plan is the best standard treatment. There are at least two ways to do it: check whether your doctor's plan follows the national comprehensive cancer network's guidelines; or send your cervical cancer treatment plan to elite hospital/ doctors and let them give your second opinion.

| Unless you are fully cured, cancer may come back or it is too advanced to be treated. Standard cervical cancer treatment is limited in dealing with these situations. Most of cancer patients need to actively search for better treatment to prevent recurrence, or for advanced stage.
If your cervical cancer is treated appropriately by your doctor, the 5 year survival rate for patients is as following: |
| Cancer Stage: |
5 Year Survival: |
| Cancer localized to cervix, uterus |
80-85% |
| Cancer spread to upper part of vagina |
60-80% |
| Cancer spread to pelvis |
30-50% |
| Cancer spread outside pelvis and to other organs |
14% |

People may be confused (for a good reason): if my doctor or the whole system can't find a better cure, is there really a better cervical cancer treatment? The answer is positively yes for the following reasons: first, there are new emerging treatments; second, there are better treatments developed in other parts of the world and they are not yet available in US; third there are effective treatments that are not yet subjected to scientific study.
