Stage IIA: Cancer has spread to the upper region of the vagina, but not to the lower one-third of the vagina
Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other parts of the body
Stage IB2: Stage IB cancer is larger than 4 cm (1.6 in)
Stage II: Cancer has spread from the cervix but is confined to the pelvic region

Cervical cancer is cancer of the cells lining the cervix which is the passage between the uterus and the vagina. You can prevent cervical cancer by monitoring risk factors for cervical cancer. Find out more about the several risk factors that increase your chance of developing cervical cancer.
The various treatments for cervical cancer include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy depending on the type and stage of cancer that you've been diagnosed with.
I just recently had a friend who had both cervical and ovarian cancer. The strange thing was the ovarian cancer was one type of cancer in stage 2 and the cervical cancer was a totally different type of cancer in stage 1. She recovered fully from both.
Stage IIIB: Cancer has spread to the pelvic wall and/or is blocking the flow of urine through the ureters to the bladder
I'm sorry yes
Stage IA: Very small cancerous area that is visible only with a microscope
Radiation therapy, which involves the use of high-dosage x rays or other high-energy waves to kill cancer cells, often is used for treating stages IB, IIA, and IIB cervical cancers, or in combination with surgery.
