A cervical cancer diagnosis at a young age raises an immediate question: can pregnancy still happen after treatment? For selected young women from Faridabad with early-stage cervical cancer, the answer — in the right hands — is yes. Dr. Monisha Gupta at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi is experienced in fertility-sparing surgery for cervical cancer.
Radical Trachelectomy — Preserving the Uterus
In a radical trachelectomy, only the cervix and upper vagina are removed — along with the parametria and pelvic lymph nodes — while the body of the uterus is preserved and rejoined to the vagina. This allows future pregnancy via IVF or spontaneous conception, though all pregnancies after trachelectomy are high-risk and require specialist obstetric management.
Who Is Eligible?
- Stage IA2 to IB1 (tumour ≤2 cm)
- Squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma (not small cell or neuroendocrine histology)
- No lymph node involvement on imaging
- Strong desire to preserve fertility
- Willingness to accept that local recurrence requires completion hysterectomy
CKC / LLETZ for Stage IA1
For the very earliest stage (Stage IA1 — microscopic, no lymphovascular invasion), a large cone biopsy (CKC or LLETZ) alone may be curative, completely preserving the uterus and future fertility. This is the most conservative option and is only appropriate for microinvasive disease.
For Women from Faridabad
Young women from Faridabad — from areas including Sector 15, Sector 21C, NIT, NHPC Colony — who have been diagnosed with early cervical cancer should not assume hysterectomy is inevitable. Consult Dr. Monisha Gupta at Fortis Hospital, New Delhi to discuss your eligibility: book here.
