My questions

16 on the sheet
Newly diagnosed
  1. 1.What is my exact diagnosis, stage, and grade, and which tests established them?
  2. 2.Which biomarkers have been tested on my tumour (for example p16and p53 IHC, Sentinel node status and metastasis size, Depth of invasion, PD-L1 CPS / TMB / MSI, Margin status), and what were the results?
  3. 3.Which subtype is my cancer, and does that change the recommended treatment?
  4. 4.Is germline (inherited) genetic testing recommended for me or my family?
Early (T1, <4 cm, unifocal)
  1. 5.For my situation (early (t1, <4 cm, unifocal)), which of the standard options do you recommend and why?
Node-positive after surgery
  1. 6.For my situation (node-positive after surgery), which of the standard options do you recommend and why?
  2. 7.Am I a candidate for Cisplatin, and what side effects should I expect?
Locally advanced (T3 / fixed nodes)
  1. 8.For my situation (locally advanced (t3 / fixed nodes)), which of the standard options do you recommend and why?
  2. 9.Am I a candidate for Cisplatin, and what side effects should I expect?
Metastatic or recurrent
  1. 10.For my situation (metastatic or recurrent), which of the standard options do you recommend and why?
  2. 11.Am I a candidate for Carboplatin, Paclitaxel / nab-paclitaxel, Bevacizumab or related drugs, and what side effects should I expect?
Any stage
  1. 12.Are there clinical trials I could join, for example of Pembrolizumab, Cemiplimab, Lorigerlimab?
  2. 13.Would a second opinion at a high-volume centre change anything, and can you help arrange it?
  3. 14.What supportive care (symptom control, nutrition, exercise, mental health, financial help) is available from the start?
  4. 15.I read that “HPV-independent p53-mutant disease recurs often and has no targeted therapy”. How does that affect my plan?
  5. 16.I read that “Lichen sclerosus surveillance and prevention of malignant transformation”. How does that affect my plan?

The words I may hear

Tests and results to bring

Biomarker results to ask for: p16 (HPV) and p53 IHC (molecular subtype), Sentinel node status and metastasis size (≤2 mm vs >2 mm), Depth of invasion (>1 mm for nodal assessment), PD-L1 CPS / TMB / MSI (pembrolizumab), Margin status.

Scans and tests linked to this cancer: Colposcopes and digital cervical screening devices (DYSIS, EVA System, AVE).

Bring copies of scan reports, pathology and blood results, and a list of every medicine and supplement.

The treatments I may be offered

From the standard of care recorded for this cancer; which apply depends on your stage and biomarkers. Ask which the team recommends and why.
