Recommended treatments are the same for pregnant women as for nonpregnant women. Treatment for early stage IA cervical cancer may be delayed until after delivery if the pregnancy is in the third trimester. A vaginal delivery may be possible. For all stages of cervical cancer, treatment will be managed by a team of doctors specializing in cancer and high-risk pregnancies.
The baby does not appear to be affected by cervical cancer, but treatment for the cancer may cause problems such as an early delivery or even the loss of the baby. Treatment will consider the recommendations for the specific stage of cancer, the development of the baby, and the mother’s preferences.
Depending on the stage of your cancer, surgery may be combined with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Radiation or chemotherapy given after a surgery is called adjuvant therapy. Some women with cervical cancer may be interested in participating in research studies called clinical trials. Clinical trials are designed to find better ways to treat cancer patients and are based on the most up-to-date information.
Women who do not want standard treatments or are not cured using standard treatments may want to participate in clinical trials. These are ongoing in most parts of the United States and in some other countries for all stages of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer progresses more rapidly, has higher recurrence rates, and has a poorer prognosis in women with HIV. After initial treatment for cervical cancer, it is important to receive follow-up care.
Your emotional reactions may continue throughout the course of your treatment depending on your prognosis, the treatment methods used, and your quality-of-life decision. Your oncologist or gynecologic oncologist will schedule regular checkups that will include a pelvic exam and Pap test every 3 months for the first 2 or 3 years; after the first 2 or 3 years, a pelvic exam and Pap test every 6 months until 5 years after treatment.
Follow-up tests that may be recommended by your oncologist include an abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan to monitor whether cancer has spread to other organs in the abdomen or pelvis. If respiratory symptoms are present, a chest X-ray may be done to determine whether cancer has spread to the lungs.
In addition to conventional medical treatment, you may wish to try complementary therapies, such as: acupuncture, herbs, biofeedback, meditation, yoga, visualization, vitamins and nutritional supplements. Complementary therapies are not a substitute for the standard treatment recommended for cervical cancer.
Before you try any of these therapies, discuss their possible benefits and side effects with your doctor. Let him or know if you are already using any such therapies. Other than cervical cancer, warts are also caused by HPV. As warts are highly contagious they have become very prevalent in the general population. Warts can occur virtually anywhere on the body.
If afflicted with warts, it becomes necessary to eradicate the HPV infection to eliminate them. Unfortunately, there are few successful medical options available. Surgically removing warts is the most common medical procedure. However, the patient is subject to a painful surgical intervention which results in skin damage/scarring along with the probability the warts will return.
Warts occurring on the body, face, feet, hands or genitals can be successfully eliminated with AntiWarts-Rx. This product is made from strictly certified organic antiviral plant material and concentrated with naturally occurring monoterpene ketones which have tremendous antiviral effects against the wart virus, HPV, as demonstrated in published scientific studies.
As some go their entire life without ever having a wart, while others seem prone to the infection, it is commonly believed occurrences of warts are associated with a lower immunity against HPV. As a result, ImmunoDrops for Warts is a powerful organic dietary supplement exclusively to combat HPV and strengthen immune parameters for those afflicted with warts.
It can be stated that application of AntiWarts-Rx has an immediate therapeutic effect against HPV. ImmunoDrops for Warts have a positive influence on the immune response. These treatments effectively defeat the wart virus, a combination which explains their dynamic effectiveness. To learn more, please go to http://www.naturespharma.org.
