Cervical cancer is a cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is predominantly caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). In India, cervical cancer remains one of the most common cancers in women, and Pune is no exception, though increasing awareness of HPV vaccination and regular Pap smear screening is helping improve early detection.
Dr. Rahul Wagh offers comprehensive surgical management for cervical cancer in Pune, including radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection, the standard curative surgery for early-stage cervical cancer. He performs this procedure using both open and minimally invasive (laparoscopic) approaches, tailoring the surgical plan to each patient's stage, age, and fertility goals.
For women with early-stage cervical cancer who wish to preserve fertility, Dr. Wagh offers radical trachelectomy, surgical removal of the cervix while preserving the uterus. At his Baner clinics, he coordinates closely with radiation oncologists for cases requiring concurrent chemoradiation, ensuring patients in Pune receive a truly integrated treatment approach.
