Cancer cells may begin to form in the cervix, the part of the body positioned between the uterus and the birth canal. This is a medical condition thousands of women are diagnosed with each year. It is quickly becoming one of the most common types of cancer found in women. This type of cancer develops slowly over time and has the potential to spread to other body parts, such as the bladder or liver. For this reason, it is necessary to take precautions and consider the risk factors associated with Cervical cancer.
One of the major risk factors associated with contracting cervical cancer is the lack of access to medical procedures (such as Pap smears) that can diagnose the disease early enough to treat it effectively. Other risk factors include smoking and an already weakened immune system. Of course it is not realistic to tell women to avoid having sexual intercourse, but using a condom is the best way to ensure that you avoid sexually-transmitted diseases including HPV, which is linked to cervical cancer.
Any Pap smear that results in abnormal findings should follow up with a physician as soon as reasonably possible. In addition to identifying abnormal cells, watch out for symptoms of cervical cancer. These include vaginal bleeding, unusual vaginal discharge, or menstrual periods that that are longer and heavier than usual. Report any vaginal pain to a physician.
It is absolutely necessary for women to get regular check-ups with a gynecologist who can perform a Pap smear. Women should begin seeing a gynecologist after becoming sexually active or turning 20, whichever comes first. Women generally have this examination performed once a year. For women younger than 26, a gynecologist may recommend the vaccine called Gardasil, which prevents two types of HPV infections.
The risk factors associated with cervical cancer are often avoidable, but there is no guarantee that putting an end to risky behaviors will prevent cervical cancer. It is important, however, to take a proactive role in your health by seeing a physician.

How did telinde hope to prove that his hypothesis about cervical cancer was correct?
Telinde aimed to prove his hypothesis about cervical cancer by conducting detailed histological studies of cervical tissue samples. He focused on identifying specific cellular changes associated with cervical cancer, particularly the presence of atypical cells and their progression from precancerous lesions to invasive cancer. By correlating these findings with clinical outcomes, he sought to establish a clear link between the observed cellular abnormalities and the development of cervical cancer.

Are the cervical cancer vaccines safe in 2010?
Yes, the cervical cancer vaccines, such as Gardasil and Cervarix, were deemed safe in 2010 based on extensive clinical trials and ongoing monitoring. Regulatory agencies like the FDA and WHO had reviewed the safety data and confirmed that the benefits of vaccination in preventing cervical cancer outweighed the risks of potential side effects. Common side effects were generally mild and included pain at the injection site, fever, and fatigue. Overall, the vaccines were recommended for use in eligible populations to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
