Diagnostics That Go Deeper

Your individual treatment plan relies on a precise diagnosis. That’s why we use the most advanced imaging techniques and diagnostic technology to understand your cervical cancer at a molecular level. Our experts specialize in diagnosing gynecologic cancers. We’re also skilled at helping you understand your diagnosis and answering all the questions you have.

Innovative Cervical Cancer Treatment

There are several options for treatment depending on your cervical cancer stage and your desire for future fertility or to avoid early menopause. Your doctor will review which of the following options will best treat your cancer.

Treatment You Can’t Get at Other Centers

In addition to standard therapy, participating in clinical trials may be an option in certain cases. Clinical trials provide patients access to new medications and therapies that are being developed to treat cervical cancer. Consider talking with your doctor about participating in a clinical trial at Winship.

Expedited Fertility Preservation

Some patients with cervical cancer may be candidates for preserving their fertility, the ability to get pregnant or maintain a pregnancy. Our cancer team works closely with the Emory Reproductive Center to support patients when their fertility may be impacted by cervical cancer treatment. Ask your doctor if this is an option with your cancer diagnosis and to be referred to a fertility specialist.

Support Every Step of the Way

We understand how a cervical cancer diagnosis can impact your life beyond the exam room. That’s why we provide comprehensive supportive oncology services that extend outside the clinical setting. This includes access to counselors, nurse navigators, dieticians and social service professionals trained in cancer management. With our coordinated, multidisciplinary approach — from diagnosis to treatment — we excel in providing the very best cervical cancer care.
