	Cervical Cancer
		In stage 0, cancer is found only in the first layer of cells lining the cervix and has not invaded the deeper tissues of the cervix.
		In stage II, cancer has spread beyond the cervix but not to the pelvic wall (the tissues that line the part of the body between the hips) or to the lower third of the vagina.
		Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing.
