What type of medical check should one do after cervical cancer was cured?
thkiat asked:
My mum in law had cervical cancer 2 years ago and she had an operation to remove all infected parts. She looks healthy now but I would like to bring her for some kinds of diagnostic medical check-up, can anyone suggest what type of medical check-up should I send her for?

She should see a gynecologist as this is the specialty that deals with cervical cancer.

I had the same type of cancer and the surgery. I have to see my gynoncologist at least once every 6 month, i just had a bone scan, I do a blood test called a CA 125 every 6 months, I have a mammogram yearly and I will have a CT scan every 6 months to a year. It will depend on the MD but I hope this helps.
