Cervical cancer is usually a squamous cell carcinoma that is caused by human papillomavirus infection or an adenocarcinoma. Early cancer is asymptomatic; the 1st symptom of later cancer is usually postcoital vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis is by screening cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) test and biopsy. Staging is clinical. Treatment usually includes surgical resection, radiation therapy, and, unless cancer is localized, chemotherapy; if cancer is widely metastasized, treatment is primarily chemotherapy.

My grandmother was 88 when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She had a hysterectomy... and she went through one round of chemo... every two weeks she went in for her treatments. She was weak... lost her hair... felt icky... BUT
She turned 91 this past month. She is cancer free and fabulous. (We just recently had a scare, but the Catscan came back negative)
Don't give up, try to stay healthy, do everything your doctor tells you to do.. and best of luck. Just so you know you are in my grandma's prayers every night when she prays for a cure and thanks god for one more day. (Everyone in my family does this prayer)

Most likely one would have to have a hysterectomy and undergo similar treatments as if it were any other cancer. Currently their is a new vaccine available to help prevent it, thought if you already have it (cancer) the vaccine will NOT cure.

The treatment for the ca cervix depends on the staging of the disease ranging from less invasive procedures to more agressive treament like total removal of the uterus and surrounding structures followed by chemotherapy.
