Advanced Cervical Cancer Treatments at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
1. Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation therapy proven effective for various types of cancer, including cervical, uterine, and vaginal cancers. Unlike external radiation therapy, which directs radiation beams from outside the body, brachytherapy delivers radiation internally by placing the source directly inside or near the cancerous tissue. This method enables high-dose radiation to be delivered precisely to the target area with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissues.
In cervical cancer treatment, brachytherapy can be used as a standalone therapy or combined with external beam radiation to enhance treatment effectiveness. This approach allows patients to receive optimal therapeutic benefits with fewer side effects. Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri uses the Flexitron Brachytherapy System, an advanced technology also adopted by leading cancer centers such as MD Anderson Cancer Center (USA), National Cancer Center (Singapore), University of Erlangen (Germany), and Medical University AKH (Austria).
2. Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth. In cervical cancer cases where the cancer has spread beyond the cervix, low-dose chemotherapy is often combined with radiation therapy to increase the effectiveness of radiation. For more advanced stages, higher doses may be used to help control symptoms and slow disease progression. In some cases, chemotherapy is administered before surgery to shrink the tumor, making surgical removal easier and safer.
3. Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy focuses on specific molecules or chemical pathways that promote cancer cell growth. By blocking these pathways, this treatment helps inhibit cancer development and trigger cancer cell death while minimizing damage to normal tissues. Targeted therapy is often combined with chemotherapy for advanced-stage cervical cancer, improving treatment effectiveness and patient survival while reducing side effects compared to conventional treatments.
4. Surgery
Surgery for cervical cancer is typically performed at early stages when cancer is confined to the cervix and has not spread to nearby tissues. The main goal of surgery is to completely remove the cancerous tissue to prevent further growth or spread. Surgical procedures may include conization (removal of a small portion of cervical tissue), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), or radical hysterectomy (removal of the uterus along with surrounding tissues and part of the vagina), depending on the stage and extent of cancer.
Beyond being a curative treatment, surgery also helps alleviate symptoms and prevent recurrence. In some cases, it is combined with radiation or chemotherapy to maximize effectiveness. For advanced stages, surgery may serve a palliative role — reducing pain and discomfort caused by tumor mass — and improving the patient’s quality of life.

Cervical Cancer Screening Services at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
-
Pap Smear
A Pap smear is a screening test used to detect abnormal cervical cells that could develop into cervical cancer. During the procedure, a sample of cells is collected from the cervix and examined under a microscope for any precancerous or cancerous changes. Regular Pap smears can identify abnormalities early, allowing for prompt treatment before cancer develops. The test is generally recommended every three years for women aged 21–65 or as advised by a doctor.
-
HPV Test
The HPV (Human Papillomavirus) test detects the presence of high-risk HPV strains that cause most cervical cancer cases. Similar to a Pap smear, a sample of cervical cells is analyzed for HPV DNA or RNA. The HPV test can be performed alongside a Pap smear (co-testing) to improve accuracy. Early detection allows preventive measures or treatment to be initiated before abnormal cells turn cancerous.
Get the HPV Vaccine at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
Prevention is always better than treatment. Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri provides HPV vaccination to protect against cervical cancer. The HPV vaccine is highly effective, especially when administered before exposure to the virus. Since more than 90% of cervical cancer cases are linked to high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, vaccination helps the immune system produce antibodies that recognize and fight HPV infection — preventing the development of precancerous or cancerous cervical changes.
For convenience, patients can easily book consultations or cancer screenings at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri through WhatsApp Chat, the Book Appointment feature, or the Care Dokter app, available on Google Play and App Store, to check schedules, queue numbers, and complete hospital information.
