 Stage IA2 or IB1 cervix cancer is treated by a radical hysterectomy removal of the uterus, cervix, and the parametrium or radical trachelectomy removal of the cervix and the parametrium. Pelvic lymph nodes and possibly para-aortic lymph nodes near the aorta in the abdomen are also removed. This procedure is called a pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy.
