75 Percent of Cervical Cancer Caused by HPV

75 percent of cervical cancers are caused by "Human papilloma virus" or HPV "high risk", particularly types 16 and 18 in the world, cervical cancer is the second most common cancer after breast cancer.

Cervical cancer occurs at all ages in a woman's life. Half of all women diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 35-55 years. Most likely they have been exposed to HPV at the time of the teenagers around the age of 20 years.

Transmission of HPV not only through sexual intercourse, but also through all the activities that allow genital contact with an infected person

All the people who have a sexual activity involving genital contact can be infected with HPV. In essence, the transmission of the virus can cause cervical cancer through sexual intercourse.

Multiple partners can increase the risk of contracting the HPV virus. Therefore, awareness of this disease needs to be improved, but women infected with high-risk HPV types have a greater risk of developing cervical cancer.

Treatment of Cervical Cancer

There are many factors to consider before deciding how the treatment of cervical cancer, including tumor size, age and state of cervical cancer patients overall health, stage and other levels as well. High degree of malignancy of cervical cancer, 70% of patients currently diagnosed with cervical cancer are already in an advanced stage. Treatment of cervical cancer include surgical removal, treatment of medical collaboration west-east, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other.

When this is generally the treatment of cervical cancer is most often encountered with surgery and radiotherapy. Suitable for operation for early stage cervical cancer, radical surgery is the preferred hysterectomi (total hysterectomy), the lifting of the uterus from the vagina and parametrial tissue, at the same time also clear bilateral pelvic lymph nodes, when the ovaries no pathological changes can be considered to not be appointed. The advantages of treatment by surgery in early-stage cases is enough to clean up once the operation is cancerous lesions, the short treatment period. The drawback is the removal of a broad scope, the operation might occur after urination dysfunction to some degree or other complications, it may take some time to rest and exercise will be restored.

Suitable for radiotherapy in all stages of cervical cancer, even advanced cervical cancer. For the elderly, less heart function who can not undergo surgery, radiotherapy is the treatment of cervical cancer is very good. However, radiotherapy has certain complications, the most important is the radioactive rectum and urinary bladder, which requires active treatment and the rest will be recovering slowly.

Radiopartikel treatment is also one way of effective treatment for cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is sensitive to radioactive rays, early-stage cervical cancer or advanced stages all have a pretty good treatment outcomes. Treatment is done by implanting radiopartikel radiopartikel into tumor under CT or ultrasound guidance, these particles within the tumor will continue to emit radioactive rays, treating the tumor and cut off the spread of tumors.

From this it can be seen there are lots of ways of treatment of cervical cancer, cervical cancer patients are expected not to give up in advance, provided that can work with your doctor, choose a method of treatment of cervical cancer are suitable for themselves, thereby effectively controlling cervical cancer.

Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is a disease that makes a lot of worry and fear of women, cervical cancer, endanger the health and lives of women. But with cervical cancer screening and proper diagnosis of cervical cancer can prevent cervical cancer and the encouraging results of treatment of cervical cancer. The following is a Oncologists of Modern hospital Guangzhou to introduce methods of cervical cancer diagnosis for you

Common method of diagnosis of cervical cancer

1. Blade cervical cytologic examination
Is the primary method to detect cervical cancer precursor lesions and early-stage cervical cancer. But be careful with the position of the captured material and a careful microscopic examination, the false negative rate can be set at 5% ~ l0%, therefore, must be combined with the clinical condition and conduct periodic checks, as a method for screening.

2. Iodine
Normal vaginal squamous epithelium rich in glycogen, which can become brown after a liquid iodine, while the columnar epithelium of the cervix, cervical erosion, and abnormal squamous epithelium (including squamous metaplasia, dysplasia, carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma area) there is no glycogen, the colorless. In clinical cervix exposed by the speculum vagina, after wiping the mucus surface, applying a solution of iodine, the cervix and the fornix, if found any abnormal areas of iodine-negative, may perform a biopsy and pathological examination for this area.

3. Biopsy of the cervix and cervical canal
Cervical Pap smear in more than Grade Ⅲ ~ Ⅳ, but when a negative cervical biopsy, at the intersection of column carcinoma, cervix at the point 6, 9, 12 and 3: take four points in the biopsy or colorless iodine test and a suspected cancer site , take some tissue and excisional biopsy or curettage small application endocervical scraping sent for pathological examination.

4. Colposcopy
Colposcopy can not directly diagnose carcinoid tumor, but it can help choose the location to perform a biopsy of cervical biopsies. According to statistics, with the help of colposcopy biopsy, diagnostic accuracy for early cervical cancer can be achieved around 98%. However, colposcopy is not a substitute for the Pap smear and biopsy, also can not find lesions in the cervical canal. Oncologists of Modern hospital Guangzhou is reminded that a diagnosis of cervical cancer can help people for the detection of cervical cancer in a timely manner, to avoid delays in the treatment of cervical cancer.

Symptoms of Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumor found in women, is also the only cancer that can be found the cause. Cervical cancer is caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), the virus can spread directly from skin contact, the incubation period could be more than ten years, therefore there is no initial distadium any symptoms, cervical cancer is preventable and can be detected by screening routine cervical cancer can effectively prevent cervical cancer.

Symptoms of cervical cancer:

1. Associated with cervical erosion: In general, many patients with cervical cancer associated with cervical erosion, cervical erosion is a major cause of severe canceration.

2. Bleeding contact: contact bleeding is a symptom of cervical cancer is most pronounced, approximately 70% -80% of patients with cervical cancer have symptoms of vaginal bleeding. Most occur after intercourse or during gynecological examination or be too pushy at the time of bowel movements, there is fresh blood mixed with vaginal secretions (discharge).

3. Irregular vaginal bleeding: the elderly woman who had been menopausal for years, suddenly "period" again without cause. Amount of bleeding is not a lot, also not accompanied by symptoms of pain in the abdomen and waist, so easily overlooked. Frequent presence of irregular vaginal bleeding is an early symptom of cervical cancer, many elderly patients come for treatment because these symptoms, should immediately get an early diagnosis of cervical cancer, to treatment in a timely manner.

4. Pain: lower abdomen or lumbosacral region is often painful, sometimes pain arises in the upper abdomen, upper thigh and hip joints, every time the menstrual period, the bowel movements or sexual intercourse, the pain will increase, especially when the infection extends leading to the rear along the uterosacral ligaments or spread widely throughout the ligament on the bottom, forming a chronic inflammation of parametrial connective tissue, at the time of primary cervical ligaments thicken, the pain will be more severe. Each touches the cervix, directly cause pain in the iliac fossa, lumbosacral, and even cervical cancer patients who have symptoms of nausea.

5. An increase in vaginal secretions (discharge): In clinical about 75% -85% of patients with cervical cancer have increased vaginal secretions with a variety of levels. Most appeared increased vaginal discharge, most recently associated with changes in odor and color. Stimulation of cervical cancer because the cancer lesion, secretory function of the cervical glands to increase, causing vaginal discharge such as mucus. Such abnormal vaginal discharge, including the increasing numbers and changing characteristics, is an early symptom of cervical cancer.

By routinely screened for cervical cancer can help people avoid cervical cancer, cervical cancer if detected should immediately come to the hospital for examination and treatment.
