Cancer Cardiovascular Diabetes Osteoporosis Pelvic Health Pregnancy Sexual Health Cancer isn't one disease, but a group of diseases, which cause cells in the body to change and grow out of control. Most types of cancer cells form a lump or mass called a tumour. Only a few cancers don't form a tumour, such as blood cancers (leukemia). Cells from a tumour can break away and travel to other parts of the body and, from there, continue to grow. This spreading is called metastasis. When cancer spreads - for instance, if breast cancer spreads to the lungs - it is still named after the part of the body where it originated. In this case, it is still breast cancer, not lung cancer. A cancerous tumour is called a malignant tumour. Tumours, however, are not all cancerous. Tumours that are not cancerous are called benign. In most cases, benign tumours are not life threatening, and do not grow and spread the way cancer does. Cancer Health Centres Last Updated: May 1, 2003

Cancer Treatment Cervical Cancer Center Overview To Learn More About This Topic: Chat with Us Email Us Scientists believe that some abnormal changes in cells on the cervix are the first step in a series of slow changes that can lead to cancer years later. Pre-cancerous changes of the cervix usually do not cause pain. In fact, they generally do not cause any symptoms and are not detected unless a woman has a pelvic exam and a Pap test. About 15,000 women each year learn they have cervical cancer, or cancer of the cervix (the lower, narrower portion of the uterus.) It is important to know that cancer of the cervix is different from cancer that begins in other parts of the uterus, and requires different treatment. Socioeconomic status is a significant risk factor for cervical cancer, since a lack of access to medical care often eliminates the opportunity for early diagnosis by Pap smear screening. Smoking, a high number of sexual partners, and early age of first intercourse are other risk factors. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infections are also associated risks for cervical cancer. Fortunately, pre-cancerous conditions of the cervix can be detected and treated through regular pelvic exams and Pap tests (also called a Pap smear, this simple procedure enables doctors to look at cells from the cervix and identify cancerous or pre-cancerous cells). Regular, professional gynecological examinations remain the most effective way to prevent invasive cervical cancer.

Dr. Judith Wasserheit, director of the STD Prevention Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday that the figures were in line with researchers' expectations.
