Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable gynecologic cancers when detected early. Dr. Shiva Gautam, Consultant Gynecological Oncologist at Fortis Hospital Noida, provides complete cervical cancer care — from screening and biopsy-confirmed diagnosis to surgical treatment, including radical hysterectomy and fertility-sparing procedures for early-stage disease. Treatment plans are built around the cancer's stage, the patient's age, and future fertility goals, combining precise surgical technique with coordinated radiotherapy or chemotherapy support when required. Patients receive clear explanations of their options at every step, helping them make confident, informed decisions about their care.
Consultation & Diagnosis
Detailed evaluation and imaging help confirm an accurate, timely diagnosis.

Surgical management according to the cancer type incorporating minimally invasive approach where indicated.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Ongoing monitoring ensures smooth recovery and long-term, cancer-free well-being.
Cervical cancer develops gradually, often over several years, and is closely linked to persistent HPV infection. Because of this slow progression, regular screening through Pap smears and HPV testing can detect precancerous changes long before cancer develops — making cervical cancer one of the most preventable gynecologic cancers when patients have access to timely specialist care.
Dr. Shiva Gautam evaluates women referred for abnormal Pap smears, HPV-positive results, abnormal bleeding, or biopsy-confirmed cervical cancer. Her assessment includes a detailed pelvic examination, colposcopy where indicated, imaging to assess the extent of disease, and staging based on established international guidelines.
Treatment Options by Stage
For very early, microscopic disease, a simple procedure such as a cone biopsy or trachelectomy may be sufficient, particularly for women who wish to preserve fertility. For early-stage invasive cervical cancer, radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node removal is often the standard treatment, performed using open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques depending on the case. For locally advanced disease, treatment typically combines radiotherapy and chemotherapy, coordinated closely with radiation oncology colleagues.
Fertility-Sparing Surgery
For younger women with early-stage, low-risk cervical cancer who wish to have children in the future, fertility-sparing options such as radical trachelectomy may be considered after careful case selection. Dr. Gautam discusses eligibility criteria honestly, ensuring patients understand both the possibilities and limitations.
Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery
Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Gautam offers robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgical approaches, offering smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery, while maintaining the same oncologic principles.
Coordinated, Multidisciplinary Care
Dr. Gautam works alongside radiation oncologists and medical oncologists to plan combined treatment for locally advanced or high-risk cases, ensuring each patient receives a well-sequenced, evidence-based treatment pathway.
Diagnosis to Treatment: What to Expect
A first visit typically involves reviewing prior Pap smear, HPV, or biopsy results, followed by any additional imaging needed to confirm the stage of disease. Post-treatment, patients follow a structured surveillance schedule with regular examinations and screening.
Prevention and Screening Guidance
Beyond treatment, Dr. Gautam also counsels patients on the importance of regular cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination for prevention.
