The stage of cervical cancer indicates how far the cancer has spread from the cervix. Most medical professionals use the (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) system. Stage I : The cancer is strictly confined to the cervix. Stage IA : Microscopic lesions (diagnosed by biopsy). Stage IB : Clinically visible lesions limited to the cervix.
: This is the most advanced stage where the cancer has spread beyond the pelvic region.
: Essential for early detection. New guidelines as of 2026 may include self-collection options for women aged 30-65.
: The cancer has spread beyond the cervix into the upper two-thirds of the vagina or surrounding tissue (parametria), but not to the pelvic wall.
