Treating Cervical Cancer with Chemotherapy

From , Former About.com GuideJune 4, 2009

When treating cervical cancer, chemotherapy may be prescribed for some women. Chemotherapy commonly accompanies another treatment method, like surgery or radiation therapy.

Chemotherapy is a common treatment used for many types of cancer. There are several different chemotherapy drugs that are available to treat cervical cancer, and while each one may work at eliminating cancerous cells, they all carry different side effects.

It is important to know what to expect during chemotherapy treatment. It makes planning much easier for effective management of daily living.
