Cervical cancer-early detection can help in cervical cancer treatment


Cancer of the neck is high on the list of common cancers that plague women throughout the world; it comes second after breast cancer in prevalence. More than 300 000 women die of cancer of the neck of every year, in the world, while alone, the United States 13,000 cases of cancer of the neck are diagnosed each year, with around 4000 deaths. Most cases of cancer of the neck were reported for women between 40 and age of 55years, although it is not unusual for women at the end of the infection.

However, unlike the breast and other forms of cancer, the causes and factors of getting cancer of the neck is well established, with the exception of a very limited number of cases. The culprit in most cases of cancer of the neck is the virus transmitted infections known as Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). This virus can remain in female caudal for a very long time, wreaking havoc on the cells of the cervix in the long term. Given that not all cases of HPV infections lead to cervical cancer, but what is clear is that the virus is capable of inducing abnormal changes in cervical cells. Some of these changes in cells result in medical examination known as the "high degree of tolerance", which sometimes may progress to cervical cancer.

Although HPV is recognized as a major cause of most cases of cancer of the neck, there are other factors that play a significant role in the causation and progression of cancer of the neck, they include; multiple sex partners within a period of time; This increases the likelihood of HPV infection, presence of other sexually transmitted diseases, weak immune system, which reduces the enterprise's ability to combat the virus, early sexual activity, as-mature cells of the cervix are more likely to succumb to the infection of wirusowei sometimes, cigarette smoking, although this is not conclusively established. It should be noted that the immune system is normally capable of suppressing viral activity of HPV, therefore, cancer of the neck of results only in women whose immune system may not be enough to control the virus.

PAP film are the only way to be determined for cervical cancer. This study includes brushing cells outside the surface of the cervix, and examination of the cells under the microscope for the presence of the bronchi or precancerous changes or damage. Now Word orders is routine tests for women in most developed countries, and this really helped to reduce the number of deaths, which are recorded due to cervical cancer. However, some critics argued that the test Word orders are not always accurate. It is recommended to carry out research in at least two laboratories, searching for at least two professional reviews and then compare, especially if you can see Early signs of cancer of the neck or you think you are perfectly alright, but the result of the test indicates otherwise.

Although there is no protective signs of cancer of the neck, how often progress without warning, the presence of the following symptoms or symptoms may indicate the presence of cervical cancer; vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, or pain during vaginal discharge, exciting and unusual bleeding between menstrual periods or abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding during periods of increased frequency, urine or pain of the pelvis. Again, these symptoms are not necessarily mean you have cervical cancer, but they are justified by the reasons to go the doctor.
