Cervical cancer

Early detection is crucial for successful treatment. In the case of conspicuous cell changes, HPV is specifically examined and typing is carried out. Low-risk HPV viruses can be treated locally, while severe cell changes with high-risk HPV require a biopsy.Innerhalb von 1–3 Tagen kann an der Wiener Privatklinik zusätzliche Bildgebung wie MRT oder PET-CT erfolgen, um die Ausdehnung des Tumors präzise zu bestimmen. Die Befunde werden im interdisziplinären Tumorboard besprochen, um die optimale Therapie festzulegen.

Treatment depends on the stage and spread of the tumor:

• Minimally invasive procedures: For very early tumours, conization (cone incision) is often performed in combination with the removal of two sentinel lymph nodes.
• Radical surgery: For more advanced tumors without lymph node involvement, Wertheim surgery (removal of the uterus and surrounding tissue) is performed.
