Overview & Types of Cervical Cancer
Overview & Types of Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer refers to the condition where abnormal growth of cells occurs in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Almost all types of cervical cancer are caused by high-risk strains of Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which spreads via sexual contact. Majorly, there are two types of cervical cancer:
- Squamous cell carcinoma: This type arises from the abnormal growth of squamous epithelial cells in the outer part of the cervix. It accounts for about 80 to 90% of all cervical cancer cases.
- Adenocarcinoma: This type develops from the glandular cells lining the cervical canal. It is considered more aggressive and can be harder to detect early.
Causes of Cervical Cancer
The main cause of cervical cancer is the high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes changes in the cells of the cervical canal. It spreads through any skin-to-skin contact of the genital area, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
There are several other risk factors that elevate the risk of cervical cancer. These include:
- Early onset of sexual activity
- Having multiple sexual partners
- Excessive smoking or consumption of tobacco
- Weak immune system due to pre-existing infections
- Family history of cervical cancer
- Extremely poor intimate hygiene

Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer
At SGVP Hospital in Ahmedabad, we offer comprehensive diagnostic tools and facilities to help in the diagnosis of cervical cancer at the earliest stage possible. The different diagnostic tools include:
- Pap Smear Test: A Pap smear or Pap test is a screening test used to detect potentially precancerous and cancerous cells in the cervix, which connects to the vagina, to detect and confirm cervical cancer. It is done using a brush and a spatula to collect cells from the cervix, place them on slides or in preservation solutions, and examine them under a microscope.
- HPV DNA Testing: HPV DNA testing helps identify high-risk HPV strains in the cervical cells. The collection method is similar to the Pap test. However, this test is more sensitive and helps detect precancerous lesions.
- Colposcopy: Colposcopy is a diagnostic test that uses a specialised magnifying instrument with a light source to examine the cervix closely and identify suspicious areas.
- Cervical Biopsy: For suspicious areas, a cervical biopsy may be performed, which involves examining small tissue samples collected from the cervical canal under a microscope.
- Imaging Tests: Imaging methods like ultrasound of the cervix and uterus, CT scans, MRI scans, and PET-CT scans are used to assess the pelvic canal and determine the size and spread of tumours.

Cervical Cancer Treatment at SGVP Ahmedabad
SGVP Hospital in Ahmedabad has a team of experienced and skilled oncologists, gynaecologists, surgeons, and radiation specialists who support patients from advanced diagnosis to customised treatment. The hospital’s patient-friendly and holistic approach makes it a preferred choice for cervical cancer treatment.
Several factors such as the size and stage of the cancer, the individual’s age and overall health, and the type of cervical cancer determine the best treatment approach. Based on these, the following treatment options are available:
- Conization: A cone-shaped section of abnormal tissue is removed from the cervix. This fertility-preserving procedure is ideal in the early stages of cervical cancer.
- Simple Hysterectomy: The uterus and cervix are removed, but surrounding tissues are left intact. This is usually done for stage IA1 cervical cancer.
- Radical Hysterectomy: Involves removing the uterus, cervix, part of the vagina, and surrounding tissues. This is done for more advanced stages of cervical cancer.
- Radiation Therapy: High-energy X-rays are used to destroy cancer cells. Radiation helps shrink tumours and target affected tissues.
- Chemotherapy: Anti-cancer drugs are administered to destroy cancer cells throughout the body. In advanced cases, low-dose chemotherapy is used in combination with radiation.
