Cervical Cancer

:

Diagnosis

Early cancers of the cervix can be found by a Pap test; a painless, simple procedure that women over the age of 18 should have done annually. It collects and tests cells from the cervix to look for evidence of cancer. Survival for patients with pre-invasive lesions is nearly 100%, with curative treatment possible through local procedures.

For patients in whom the cervical cancer has not been found at this pre-invasive stage, more extensive surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy may be considered. For invasive cervical cancer, PET scanning can help by determining the stage of the cancer immediately after it is found so that the most appropriate therapy can be given.

A PET scan can show where tumor cells are growing, which helps your doctor determine the best course of treatment.

Call Care Imaging at 905-712-9500 if you have cervical cancer and would like to discuss whether PET could be useful in your care.
