Cervical Cancer
If you have been diagnosed with cervical cancer, all the expert care and treatment you need is under one roof at the Overlake Cancer Center. Our state-of-the-art facilities are staffed by experienced healthcare professionals that include a gynecologic oncologist, radiology oncologists and medical oncologists, as well as nurses, social workers, nutritionists and many other support personnel. These experts work together as a team, collaborating to develop personalized treatment plans that give each patient the best opportunity for a good outcome.
Treatment for cervical cancer depends on the clinical stage of cancer and can include surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation. Patients who have a small, early-stage cancer limited to the cervix may be treated surgically with a hysterectomy. For cervical cancer that has spread beyond the cervix, chemotherapy and radiation are used in combination to kill cancer cells and prevent them from spreading farther.
Our multi-disciplinary team stays with each patient at every step in their treatment journey, and after treatment is completed.
Overlake patients always receive the most up-to-date, innovative treatments available. And through our affiliation with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, you may also have an opportunity to participate in clinical trials of the latest treatments and medications.
