Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women in Thailand.The staging for this cancer is based on the clinical history, physical examination, and radiography. The treatment for cervical cancer depends on the stage of the disease, whether early, locally advanced or advanced. Early-stage cervical cancer is defined as a cancer confined to the cervix and uterus. Treatment options for these patients include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or chemoradiation. The choice of treatment depends on both tumor and patient factors, and existing health system resources. If surgery is performed, and the pathology indicates a high risk of recurrence, adjuvant therapy is considered, usually radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Regular follow-ups are recommended to detect any recurrence earlier to decrease morbidities and increase survival rates
