Cancer Screening & Treatment

Cancer screening is a critical part of women’s health care, offering the chance for early detection of gynecological cancers, which can significantly improve treatment outcomes. Dr. Shayla Srivastava specializes in offering both preventive and curative care for gynecological cancers, including cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer.

Early detection through regular screening can save lives. Dr. Shayla Srivastava provides advanced diagnostic tests to identify abnormal growths or early stages of cancer. Some of the screening procedures offered include:

• Pap Smears: Used to detect precancerous or cancerous cells in the cervix.
• Colposcopy: A procedure for closely examining the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease.
• Ultrasound: Non-invasive imaging to check for abnormalities in the ovaries or uterus.
• Biopsy: Removing a small tissue sample for further examination if cancer is suspected.

If cancer is detected, Dr. Shayla Srivastava works with a team of specialists to provide a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include:

• Surgical intervention: Removing tumors or affected organs to prevent the spread of cancer.
• Chemotherapy: The use of powerful drugs to kill cancer cells or stop their growth.
• Radiation therapy: Targeting cancerous tissues with high-energy rays to destroy them.

Besides treatment, Dr. Shayla Srivastava offers counseling and support to help patients navigate their cancer journey, focusing on emotional and psychological well-being.

Regular screenings, combined with timely intervention, are your best chance to fight gynecological cancers. Dr. Shayla Srivastava emphasizes the importance of staying vigilant and scheduling annual checkups to monitor your health.
