Cervical Cancer (click for worldwide facilities list): Cervical cancer forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope).
Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers that affect a woman's reproductive organs. Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing most cases of cervical cancer.
When cervical cancer is detected in its earliest stages, treatment is more likely to be successful. Regular screening for cervical cancer and precancerous changes in the cervix is recommended for all women. Most guidelines suggest beginning screening within three years of becoming sexually active, or no later than age 21. Screening may include: Pap test, and a HPV DNA test.
you experience signs and symptoms of cervical cancer or if a Pap test has revealed cancerous cells, you may undergo further tests to diagnose your cancer. To make a diagnosis, your doctor may:
-Colposcopy uses a special microscope (colposcope) to examine your cervix for abnormal cells.
-Biopsy procedures to remove a sample of unusual cells from your cervix using special tools
-Conization involves taking a cone-shaped sample of the cervix to obtain deeper layers of cervical cells for laboratory testing.
If your doctor determines that you have cervical cancer, you'll undergo further tests to determine whether your cancer has spread and to what extent — a process called staging. Your cancer's stage is a key factor in deciding on your treatment.
Procedures to remove noninvasive cancer include:
Cone biopsy (conization), laser surgery, Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), cryosurgery, and hysterectomy done only in certain selected cases of noninvasive cervical cancer.
Invasive cancer treatment options may include:
-Surgery such as a hysterectomy or radical hysterectomy
-Radiation therapy can be given externally using external beam radiation or internally (brachytherapy) by placing devices filled with radioactive material near your cervix.
-Chemotherapy drugs which can be used alone or in combination with each other. Higher doses of chemotherapy are used to control advanced cervical cancer that may not be curable. Side effects of chemotherapy depend on the drugs being administered. Certain chemotherapy drugs may cause infertility and early menopause in premenopausal women.
