Advanced cervical cancer

Advanced cervical cancer means the cancer has spread from the cervix to another area of the body.

The most common places for cervical cancer to spread is the lymph nodes, liver, lungs and bones. Symptoms can include tiredness, pain and vomiting.

Your treatment depends on several factors. These include what type of cervical cancer you have, how big it is, whether it has spread (the stage) and the grade. It also depends on your general health.

There is support available during and after treatment to help you cope. This includes support from your clinical nurse specialist, cancer charities, community services, and family and friends.
