Snooki Reveals Stage 1 Cervical Cancer Diagnosis

Reality television personality Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi has revealed a recent diagnosis of stage 1 cervical cancer. In a TikTok video shared on February 20, 2026, she disclosed that the cancer is a form of adenocarcinoma, identified during a cone biopsy. Polizzi emphasized that while the news was unexpected, its early detection, following several years of abnormal Pap smear results, offers significant hope for a positive outcome.

Polizzi is using her experience to advocate for proactive health measures, urging her followers to keep up with medical appointments. She explained that her treatment plan will involve consulting an oncologist for a PET scan to check for any spread of the cancer. Following this, she anticipates undergoing a hysterectomy, though chemotherapy and radiation remain alternative options. She expressed relief that she may be able to retain her ovaries.

She hopes her vulnerability will help other women facing similar diagnoses feel less alone, noting that cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women. Many women, she observed, go through this silently and fearfully. Polizzi is committed to sharing her ongoing journey and encourages prompt medical attention to prevent the disease from progressing to more severe stages requiring intensive treatments like chemotherapy.
