More Information General Information Note: Separate PDQ summaries on Screening for Cervical Cancer and Prevention of Cervical Cancer are also available. The prognosis for patients with cervical cancer is markedly affected by the extent of disease at the time of diagnosis. Because a vast majority (greater than 90%) of these cases can and should be detected early through the use of the Pap smear, [ ] the current death rate is far higher than it should be and reflects that, even today, Pap smears are not done on approximately one third of eligible women. Among the major factors that influence prognosis are stage, volume and grade of tumor, histologic type, lymphatic spread, and vascular invasion. In a large surgicopathologic staging study of patients with clinical stage IB disease reported by the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG), the factors that predicted most prominently for lymph node metastases and a decrease in disease-free survival were capillary-lymphatic space involvement by tumor, increasing tumor size, and increasing depth of stromal invasion with the latter being most important and reproducible. [ ] In a study of 1,028 patients treated with radical surgery, survival rates correlated more consistently with tumor volume (as determined by precise volumetry of the tumor) than clinical or histologic stage.

Where can I learn more about cervical cancer? Pap Test ... Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Gential Warts What is cervical cancer? Cancer is a disease in which certain body cells don't function right, divide very fast, and produce too much tissue that forms a tumor. Cervical cancer is cancer in the cervix, the lower, narrow part of the uterus (womb). The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows during a woman's pregnancy. The cervix forms a canal that opens into the vagina (birth canal), which leads to the outside of the body. Why should I be concerned about cervical cancer? Cervical cancer is a disease that can be very serious. However, it is a disease that you can help prevent. Cervical cancer occurs when normal cells in the cervix change into cancer cells. This normally takes several years to happen, but it can also happen in a very short period of time. The good news is that there are ways to help prevent cervical cancer. By getting regular Pap tests and pelvic exams, your health care provider can find and treat the changing cells before they turn into cancer. Where can I learn more about cervical cancer?

What is HPV? How do genital HPV infections spread? How can I avoid getting a genital HPV infection? Does HPV cause cervical cancer? ... Where can I get more information about HPV? What is HPV? HPV stands for human papilloma virus. There are more than 100 types of HPV. Some produce warts - plantar warts on the feet, common hand warts, juvenile warts, butcher's warts, and genital warts. About 30 types of HPV can infect the genital area - the vulva, vagina, cervix, rectum, anus, penis, or scrotum. Some types may cause genital warts. Some types may cause changes in cells. These types increase the risk of cervical and certain other cancers. Most types seem to have no harmful effect at all. This brochure is about the HPVs associated with cervical cancer. How many people have genital HPV infections? Genital HPV infections are very common. Up to 20 million people in the U.S. have them. But most don't know it. How do genital HPV infections spread? Vaginal, anal, and oral sex play spread genital HPV infections. In rare cases, sex play without intercourse may also cause transmission of HPV, but this is not as likely. How can I avoid getting a genital HPV infection?

Events Join Our Mailing List Search the Site Last Update: Thursday, 27th May 2004 print version Welcome to the Irish Cervical Screening Programme Website This is Phase 1 of a National Cervical Screening Programme, which offers free cervical screening to women aged 25-60 years in the Mid-Western Health Board (MWHB) area. Women aged 25-60 years in the MWHB area are invited to Register with the Programme. The ICSP aims to ensure that women on the Register will be invited over a 5 year screening period, by letter to attend for a free cervical smear test. Women who have registered with the Programme can wait until they are sent a letter advising when to make an appointment for a free smear test with an ICSP Registered Smeartaker of their choice. Or Women who have never had a Programme smear can contact one of the ICSP Registered Smeartakers (Doctors and Nurses) to discuss having a free smear test. Cervical Screening is a worthwhile preventative health measure. Smear tests can detect early changes in the neck of the womb; the earlier a change is found the easier it is to treat. developed by webtrade

C E R V I C A L C A N C E R What is the Cervix? "Pap" smear, to look for cancerous cells, and it can be seen by a doctor performing a pelvic examination. What is Cervical Cancer? Normally the cervix has stopped growing by puberty, but it's cells will continue to divide to replace those that die of injury or old age. While some division of cervical cells to replace old or injured ones is normal, it is a tightly controlled process. Sometimes a abnormal cell may arise which divides out of control. This will then form a tumor . A tumor is simply a swelling, and does not necessarily mean cancer (obviously most swellings are not cancerous). If a tumor only grows in it's local area, it is called "benign" and is not cancer. If, however, it has the capability to spread to other areas of the body, then it is called "malignant" and is cancer. Cervical cancer starts in just one single cell , but this cell quickly divides to form many similar cancer cells, which each continue to grow. Eventually, if not cured, these cells push the normal cells out of the way, grow a large tumor, and spread to other body areas to ultimately kill the patient. Cervical cancer kills by anemia, infection, blockage of kidney drainage ("uremia") and general disability. How Common is Cervical Cancer?

Treatment Decision Tools Detailed Guide: Cervical Cancer What Is Cervical Cancer? The cervix is the lower part of the womb (uterus). The uterus has two parts. The upper part, called the body of the uterus, is where the baby grows. The cervix, in the lower part, connects the body of the uterus to the vagina, or birth canal. Cancer of the cervix (also called "cervical cancer") begins in the lining of the cervix. This cancer does not form suddenly. First, some cells begin to change from normal to pre-cancer and then to cancer. This can take a number of years, although sometimes it happens more quickly. These changes are referred to by several terms, including dysplasia . For some women, these changes may go away without any treatment. More often, they need to be treated to keep them from changing into true cancers. There are two main types of cancer of the cervix. About 80% to 90% are squamous cell carcinomas . The other 10%-20% are adenocarcinomas . If the cancer has features of both types it is called mixed carcinoma . If you have cervical cancer, ask your doctor to explain exactly what type of cancer you have.

38. A High Resolution Ultrasonic Imaging System For The Detection Of Cervical Cancer Maurits van der Heiden http://wwwak.tn.tudelft.nl/~maurits/medical.html

Next: Introduction A High Resolution Ultrasonic Imaging System for the Detection of Cervical Cancer Abstract: A digital scanning system for the ultrasonic detection of cervical cancer has been developed. The acoustic transducer is a high frequency (30 MHZ) wide band single element PVDF transducer. Pulse-echo traces are recorded at up to 2048 angular positions at a speed of 16 revolutions per second. The high frequency signals are continuously digitized at 200 Msamples/s with a resolution of 10 bits. A processing unit converts the data into a high resolution 'radial' image in real-time and stores the digitized RF-data for further processing. The scanner supports two modi, a real-time search mode and an off-line characterization mode. The first mode is to obtain a basic impression of the cervix. After selection of a region of interest, the second mode uses seismic processing tools for image enhancement and tissue characterization. In this mode use is being made of residual focussing to obtain a high depth-independent resolution and the resulting high resolution image is analyzed by linear Radon transformation for angle dependent information.

In 1997 the American Social Health Association entered into a five-year cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) and Prevention to develop a national model to increase Pap-testing and follow-up among low-income African American and Hispanic women. We identified the communities of Durham and Chatham Counties in North Carolina as pilot sites for developing a replicable model for reaching under-served women in both urban and rural settings. We hope that the project will serve as a model for replication for other local and national organizations. Project objectives included: assessing patient's and provider's knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding the prevention, detection and control of cervical cancer; and, identifying cultural and communication barriers to timely and adequate gynecological health care. By increasing awareness about sexual health issues and cervical cancer prevention the project also sought to increase Pap-testing and follow-up among high-risk women in the pilot geographic areas. Another objective was to improve the quality of health care provider counseling and education surrounding the prevention of cervical cancer and the psychological issues related to diagnosis and treatment. Some highlights of CCPP activities included;
