What is a common treatment of cervical cancer?

the treatment for cervical cancer varies from stage to stage, size and shape, the woman's age and health and also, her desire to have children in the future. Early cervical cancer can be cured by removing or destroying cancerous or precancerous cells.There are certain surgeries used without having to remove the uterus or damaging the cervix. 3 types are LEEP- uses electricity to remove abnormal tissue, Cryotherapy is when they freeze abnormal cells, and Laser therapy is when they use light to burn abnormal tissue.

What is cervical neoplasm?

Cervical neoplasm refers to abnormal growths or tumors that develop in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

Different Types of Cervical Cancer Treatments ?

When a woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer, her treatment options are dependent on many factors; there is not one simple treatment used to treat cervical cancer. The woman's age and general health are taken into consideration as is the type of HPV the woman has. In addition, the stage of her cancer, the size of her tumor and the type of cervical cancer she has is taken into consideration. Additionally, woman who are pregnant with cervical cancer are not typically treated until the baby is born in an effort to keep the baby safe. Doctors use three standard treatment procedures when treating cervical cancer. The one your doctor will suggest depends on the above mentioned factors. The first potential treatment for cervical cancer is surgery. Surgery is performed to remove the tumor from your body; sometimes the cancer is removable without doing major damage to a woman's cervix which depends on whether or not she will be able to have children in the future but sometimes the diagnosis is worse and a complete hysterectomy is required, which is the removal of the cervix. This means the woman will not be able to carry a child. The next type of treatment used to treat cervical cancer is radiation therapy. Radiation is the use of x-rays and other methods of radiation that kill the cancer or at least keep them from becoming larger. External radiation is the option in which a machine on the exterior of your body is used to send radiation into your body to kill the cancer. Internal radiation utilizes seeds, catheters and needs and wires to inject radiation directly into the tumor. The type of radiation your doctor recommends depends on your specific case. Finally, your doctor may recommend chemotherapy, which is the use of drugs to prevent the tumor from growing or to kill it completely. Systematic chemotherapy is given to patients through the mouth or through an IV that places the medication into the bloodstream, where it attacks the cancer. Regional chemotherapy is when the drugs are placed directly into the organ that the cancer is located where it attacks the cancer in that manner.

What are distinguishing features of a cervical vertebra?

Transverse foramina (on all cervical vertebrae) and bifid spinous process on C2-C6

What is partial remission of cancer?

Partial remission or response. The cancer shrinks in size but does not disappear. The same chemotherapy may be continued or a different combination of drugs may be tried.

Cervical cancer?

DefinitionCervical cancer is cancer that starts in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina.Alternative NamesCancer - cervixCauses, incidence, and risk factorsWorldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women. It is much less common in the United States because of routine use of Pap smears.Cervical cancers start in the cells on the surface of the cervix. There are two types of cells on the cervix's surface: squamous and columnar. The majority of cervical cancers are from squamous cells.The development of cervical cancer is usually very slow. It starts as a precancerous condition called dysplasia. This precancerous condition can be detected by a Pap smear and is 100% treatable. That is why it is so important for women to get regular Pap smears. Most women that are diagnosed with cervical cancer today have not had regular Pap smears or they have not followed up on abnormal results.Undetected, precancerous changes can develop into cervical cancer and spread to the bladder, intestines, lungs, and liver. It can take years for precancerous changes to turn into cervical cancer. Patients with cervical cancer do not usually have problems until the cancer is advanced and has spread.Almost all cervical cancers are caused by HPV (human papilloma virus). HPV is a common virus that is spread through sexual intercourse. There are many different types of HPV. Some strains lead to cervical cancer. (Other strains may cause genital warts, while others do not cause any problems at all.)Other risk factors for cervical cancer include:Having sex at an early ageMultiple sexual partnersSexual partners who have multiple partners or who participate in high-risk sexual activitiesWomen whose mothers took the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) during pregnancy in the early 1960s to prevent miscarriageWeakened immune systemPoor economic status (may not be able to afford regular Pap smears)SymptomsMost ot the time, early cervical cancer has no symptoms. Symptoms that may occur can include:Continuous vaginal discharge, which may be pale, watery, pink, brown, bloody, or foul-smellingAbnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopausePeriods become heavier and last longer than usualAny bleeding after menopauseSymptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include:Loss of appetiteWeight lossFatiguePelvic painBack painLeg painSingle swollen legHeavy bleeding from the vaginaLeaking of urine or feces from the vaginaBone fracturesSigns and testsPrecancerous changes of the cervix and cervical cancer can not be seen with the naked eye. Special tests and tools are needed to spot such conditions.Pap smears screen for precancers and cancer, but do not offer the final diagnosis. If abnormal changes are found, the cervix is usually examined under magnification. This is called colposcopy. Pieces of tissue are surgically removed (biopsied) during this procedure and sent to a laboratory for examination.Other tests may include:Endocervical curettage (ECC) to examine the opening of the cervixCone biopsyIf the woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer, the health care provider will order more tests to determine how far the cancer has spread. This is called staging. Tests may include:CT scanCystoscopyMRIChest x-rayIntravenous pyelogram (IVP)TreatmentTreatment of cervical cancer depends on the stage of the cancer, the size and shape of the tumor, the age and general health of the woman, and her desire to have children in the future.Early cervical cancer can be cured by removing or destroying the precancerous or cancerous tissue. There are various surgical ways to do this without removing the uterus or damaging the cervix, so that a woman can still have children in the future.Types of surgery for early cervical cancer include:LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) -- uses electricity to remove abnormal tissueCryotherapy -- freezes abnormal cellsLaser therapy -- uses light to burn abnormal tissueA hysterectomy(removal of the uterus but not the ovaries) is not often performed for cervical cancer that has not spread. It may be done in women who have repeated LEEP procedures.Treatment for more advanced cervical cancer may include:Radical hysterectomy, which removes the uterus and much of the surrounding tissues, including internal lymph nodes and upper part of the vagina.Pelvic exenteration, an extreme type of surgery in which all of the organs of the pelvis, including the bladder and rectum, are removedRadiation may be used to treat cancer that has spread beyond the pelvis, or cancer that has returned. Radiation therapy is either external or internal.Internal radiation therapy uses a device filled with radioactive material, which is placed inside the woman's vagina next to the cervical cancer. The device is removed when she goes home.External radiation therapy beams radiation from a large machine onto the body where the cancer is located. It is similar to an x-ray.Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer. Some of the drugs used for chemotherapy for cervical cancer include 5-FU, cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, paclitaxel, and cyclophosphamide. Sometimes radiation and chemotherapy are used before or after surgery.Support GroupsNational Cervical Cancer Coalition - http://www.nccc-online.org/Expectations (prognosis)Many factors influence the outcome of cervical cancer. These include:The type of cancerThe stage of the diseaseThe age and general physical condition of the womanPre-cancer conditions are completely curable when followed up and treated properly. The chance of being alive in 5 years (5-year survival rate) for cancer that has spread to the inside of the cervix walls but not outside the cervix area is 92%.However, the 5-year survival rate falls steadily as the cancer spreads into other areas.ComplicationsSome types of cervical cancer do not respond well to treatment.The cancer may come back (recur) after treatment.Women who have treatment to save the uterus have a high risk of the cancer coming back (recurrence).Surgery and radiation can cause problems with sexual, bowel, and bladder function.Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you:Are a sexually active woman who has not had a Pap smear in the past yearAre at least 20 years old and have never had a pelvic examination and Pap smearThink your mother may have taken DES when she was pregnant with youHave not had regular Pap smears (ask your health care provider how often you should have one performed)PreventionA new vaccine to prevent cervical cancer is now available. In June 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine called Gardasil, which prevents infection against the two types of HPV responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases. Studies have shown that the vaccine appears to prevent early-stage cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. Gardasil is the first approved vaccine targeted specifically to prevent any type of cancer.Practicing safe sex (using condoms) also reduces your risk of HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases. HPV infection causes genital warts. These may be barely visible or several inches wide. If a woman sees warts on her partner's genitals, she should avoid intercourse with that person.To further reduce the risk of cervical cancer, women should limit their number of sexual partners and avoid partners who participate in high-risk sexual activities.Getting regular Pap smears can help detect precancerous changes, which can be treated before they turn into cervical cancer. Pap smears work very well in spotting such changes, but they must be done regularly. Annual pelvic examinations, including a pap smear, should start when a woman becomes sexually active, or by the age of 20 in a nonsexually active woman. If abnormal changes are seen, a colposcopy with biopsyshould be performed.See also: Physical exam frequencyIf you smoke, quit. Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer.ReferencesArmstrong C. ACIP Releases Recommendations on Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Vaccine. Am Fam Physician.

How big can cervical benign tumor get?

Cervical benign tumors, such as cervical polyps or fibroids, can vary significantly in size. While some may be just a few millimeters in diameter, others can grow to several centimeters. Generally, the size depends on factors like the type of tumor, the individual's health, and hormonal influences. However, most benign tumors remain relatively small compared to malignant tumors.
