CERVICAL CANCER SURVIVORS

Women with cervical cancer may undergo treatments involving surgery, chemotherapy and/or radiation. They may go into induced menopause and develop menopausal symptoms.

​

No relationship has ever been demonstrated between sex hormones and cervical cancer. A small study of women who had been treated for stage-I and -II cervical cancer and then prescribed hormone therapy did not show any negative influence on the rate of recurrence or on 5-year survival. 

It is thought that HT may be prescribed to women after treatment for cervical cancer if indicated.
