- Women with high risk HPV infection- Early sexual intercourse.
- Early age of first pregnancy.
- Too many births/too frequent birth.
- Low socioeconomic status.

- Multiple sexual partners.
- Previous wife died of cervical carcinoma.

advantages of surgery over
radiotherapy
Spread of the disease can be determined more
thoroughly by surgicopathological staging
Surgical staging (Laparotomy or Laparoscopy)

and assessment of paraaortic and pelvic nodes,can predict the survival rate accurately
Preservation of ovarian function, if desired,
specially in a young woman.

1. Brachytherapy or intracavitary2.external beam or teletherapy
Brachytherapy
Intra uterine and intra vaginal tubes are used
Small radioactive sources, mainly radium sulphate is mixed withsome inert
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
powder and packed in small needles or tubesRadiation sources for intracavitary radiation are Radium (226Ra), Cesium
(137Cs) or Cobalt (60Co).
The container is made up of platinum, gold or alloy steel to absorb alpha
and beta particles and allowing the gamma rays to sterilize the cancer cells

Advantages of Radiotherapy
- Wider applicability in all stages of carcinoma

surgery in early stages.
- Less primary mortality and morbidity.
