What is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the cervix, the bottom section of the uterus that links to the vagina. It typically occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow uncontrollably and form a tumor.

This cancer is one of the most common types among women, especially in developing countries.

Your Guide to Cervical Cancer

The primary cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection with certain types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection. Not all HPV infections lead to cancer, but types like HPV-16 and HPV-18 are considered high-risk.

In early stages, cervical cancer often has no symptoms. As it progresses, symptoms may include:

-Abnormal vaginal bleeding (especially after intercourse or between periods)
-Unusual vaginal discharge
-Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse

Treatment depends on the stage and may include:

-Surgery (like hysterectomy in advanced stages)
-Radiation therapy
-Chemotherapy
-Targeted therapy or immunotherapy in certain cases

What is Robotic Surgery for Cervical Cancer?


Many cervical cancer patients are suitable for robotic-assisted surgery. Robotic Surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery.

In this method, the surgeon uses a robot to perform complex procedures with more precision, accuracy and flexibility than by hand.

Instead of a large cut, the surgeon makes a very few tiny incisions to insert the robot’s small arms. A slightly larger incision is made only to remove the tumour safely.
