Cervical Cancer

A mammogram is a routine test to examine the breast for any abnormalities. It can be slightly uncomfortable, basically they xray your breast in simple terms. Your doctor can tell you when you should start receiving mammograms yearly. If you have a family history of breast cancer, you should start a yearly exam in your 20's. Also, as prevelant as breast cancer has been recently, women are getting it at earlier ages. Typically around your late 30's early 40's is when they recommend to start the yearly mammogram exam

To answer this question we first have to delve into the arcane world for latin (and medicine). Feel free to skip the next two bullet points, and get to the answer (I don't mind). * -osis. Noun. meaning, a growth. * -carcinoma. Noun. Meaning, a "bad" growth. The endometrium is periodically found in the female reproductive tract, and forms the nuturing, nutirient and blood-rich layer upon which a baby may attach (via the placenta). This layer is normally shed within a 28-day cycle (Menses) if fertilization and implantation of the ova (egg) have not occured. Endometriosis refers to the benign (yet maybe still painful and problematic) condition of "growth" of the endometrial cells. Normally these guys are supposed to live only in the uterus, and should only survive for about 4 weeks. Occasionally, a cell or two gets outside of the uterus, and will, "set up shop" wherever it lands. This could be on the ovary, the fallopian tube, the uterus, or anywhere else in the abdominal cavity. Since they're deprived of the normal signals the rest of the endometrium (living quietly within the uterus) receives, they may continue to grow. Generally, when this happens, however, they grow neatly, and orderly. Endometrial Carcinoma, in contrast, occurs when these cells loose the instruciton to die, or are otherwise genetically dammaged. They still can exist anywhere, but are more likely to wreak havoc on those cells surrounding them. A general search for "cancer" on this site will likely find an article I wrote awhile back about cancer...it's a disease of the DNA.

Stage IB2: Stage IB cancer is larger than 4 cm (1.6 in)

It could be mildly harmful to the baby.

The cervical cancer vaccination is a vaccination that is applied in 3 separate doses. The does are in the form of needles and are carried out over 6 months (in England). The vaccine protects the user from certain species of the Human papillomavirus virus, which is associated to cervical cancer genital warts and some other less common forms of cancer (anal, vulvar, vaginal and penile). There are currently two HPV vaccinations on the market, Gardasil and cervarix. Both vaccines protect against two of the HPV types that can cause cervical cancer and some other genital cancers. Gardasil also protects against two of the HPV types that cause genital warts.

Cervical cancer can be terminal, but if caught early the prognosis is good. Pap smears test for it, which is why it is important to visit the gynecologist regularly. Pap smears not only catch cancer itself, but the changes to cells that come before cancer occurs. In the

early stages it may only be necessary to remove part of the cervix to prevent cancer, a minor price for what otherwise would be a very serious disease.

As a disclaimer, I am not a doctor. However, my grandmother died of cervical cancer at the age of 36, so I have something of an interest. In those days (1950) there was much less known about cancer in general, and less attention paid to women's health in particular. Even if there had been effective tests and treatment at the time, my grandmother would have unlikely had access to them, poor and uneducated as she was. These days, we may be too poor to lay out cash for a doctor regularly, but we can be educated enough to find free and low-cost care from women's health clinics. You may not agree with a given clinic's politics, but don't let that stop you from taking advantage of what they offer.

If you've seen all those ads for HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccines, yes, it is true that an STD is responsible for many cases of cervical cancer. This does not mean that you have to be promiscuous or even sexually active to develop it. Remember, cervical cancer kills young women. Every woman should consider herself at risk.

Benzodiazepines are sometimes used to help relieve some symptoms of chemotherapy or symptoms related to the stress of diagnosis of cancer.

Depending on the type of chemotherapy you are receiving, your doctor may decide you would benefit from a benzodiazepine to help with nausea or feeling anxious from chemo.

It is important to let your doctor know about all the medicines you are taking. Taking a list to each appointment is important. Talk to your doctor about your concerns regarding these medicines.

Vanessa is John Kerry's daughter. His wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, doesn't mention a diagnosis date, but stated publicly in December of 2009 that she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer.

Ovarian cancer and cervical cancer have nothing in common other than the fact that they occur in the female reproductive tract. Cervical cancer can be detected early with pap smears and other screening tests, and prevented with HPV vaccine. There are few, if any, screening tests for ovarian cancer. Only hormonal contraception has been shown to lower the risk of ovarian cancer.

hypervascularity means increased blood flow. In this case it would be around the ovary.

I had a leep. My dr told me that the next step will have to be a comb. i want to find information on it.

can a major trauma cause someone to lose their hearing?

Cervicitis does not cause cancer. Typical causes of cervicitis are STDs, so treatment is important. STDs that cause cervicitis can sometimes affect future fertility.

The hymen doesn't break, but it can stretch or be torn whenever there is vaginal penetration. A speculum being inserted into the vagina may tear the hymen, but not normally as the doctor will be gentle to allow the hymen to stretch rather than tear needlessly.

No, not under any normal circumstances.

No type of cancer spreads from person to person under normal conditions.

The only theoretical way for it to spread would be from surgical implantation of the cancer cells between two patients and even than there is a chance the implanted cells may be destroyed by the implant patients immune system.

some viruses have been known to trigger certain types of cancers..

Adenocarcinomas arise from the glandular lining of the endocervical canal. After your biopsy if the margins arent clear, your oncologist would probably want you to have regular pap smears ie: every 3-6 mths. to check to see if there has been any cell changes. The best kind of pap smear to have done is called a "Thin Prep" it is really accurate....though here in Australia, it cost a little more, but worth the expense at the end of the day. If you are concerned as I can imagine you are, contact your doctor and insist on getting some clear information from them....and ask them to explain in a fashion that you can understand. Drs seem to forget, not everyone when to university to learn medicine. Keep your chin up hun!

== == Have you not asked your gynecologist this question? He/she is the person who can give you a definitive answer.

The cost of Taxotere treatment is $AU 18,286 on average per patient, according to Medical News Today. This equals about $US 16,263.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy (but not with radium).

Cervical cancer is caused by human papilomavirus virus, or HPV, usually spread through unprotected sex. It can inhibit in one's body without manifesting itself as symptoms.

No it doesn't people say it does but i think the first one hurt more dont worry it does not hurt at all Some people say it dident but it stings but not that bad dw bout it " No it doesn't, it feels exactly the same as the first one.

cancer is cancer, no matter where it originates. If it's malignant it can metastasize, and if it does that enough a person WILL die given enough time.

Hey there!

This right here is a very interesting question, so thank you for asking.

The technology used here is recombinant genome technology where scientists use plasmids with genes from the virus which will only code the outer shell but not let it have any of its proteins that will make it lethal. In other words, they make the virus unarmed to cause a serious infection. Also, there should be a specific cell line to help you produce such VLPs.

But before that, the scientist must know the genome construct of the virus, how its genome is organised, how the genes are expressed and who does the virus relate to. Once they know that, they can do the above, but believe me, it can involve a lot of trial and error and reading many papers to get ideas on how to make such an experiment successful.

I can give one great example, the making of the third type of polio vaccine using the VLP technology where the virus is just an empty husk and lacking an entire genome.

Hopefully, I was able to answer your question! 😄

Cervical cancer is cancer of the cells lining the cervix which is the passage between the uterus and the vagina. You can prevent cervical cancer by monitoring risk factors for cervical cancer. Find out more about the several risk factors that increase your chance of developing cervical cancer.

The cervix is at the 'end' of a woman's vagina, it is the opening to the uterus. Cervical cancer is a from of cancer which attacks this tissue. It is preventable (vaccines) and treatable.
