Concerning the staging and treatment of cervical carcinoma, the following statements are correct:

• A. False: Cervical cancer is staged clinically, not surgico-pathologically (unlike endometrial/ovarian cancer).
• B. True
• C. False: Stage IIIB is treated by chemoradiation, not radical hysterectomy.
• D. True
• E. True

Staging and treatment

Staging

Cervical cancer is staged clinically (FIGO) - examination under anaesthesia, speculum inspection and palpation, with imaging (chest X-ray, ultrasound, MRI) for distant disease. (This contrasts with endometrial and ovarian cancers, which are surgico-pathologically staged.)

Stage-directed treatment

Stage	Treatment
0/IA	Cone biopsy or simple hysterectomy
IB-IIA	Radical hysterectomy + node dissection (or chemoradiation)
IIB-IV	Chemoradiation

Why A is false

Cervical cancer is clinically, not surgico-pathologically, staged.

Why B is true

FIGO staging of cervical cancer is primarily clinical.

Why C is false

Stage IIIB is treated by chemoradiation, not radical hysterectomy.

Why D is true

Early-stage disease (I-IIA) can be treated surgically.

Why E is true

Advanced disease (IIB+) is treated with chemoradiation.
