cervical cancer. The strains of HPV linked to cervical cancer (strains 16, 18 and 31), are not the ones that cause genital warts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_cancer

Extractions: Cervical cancer is one of the more common cancers affecting women of reproductive age. One of the high risk factors for cervical cancer is the presence of antibodies to the human papillomavirus (the same group of viruses that cause genital warts ). Although benign, the virus is believed to trigger alterations in the cells of the cervix, leading to the development of cancer. The strains of HPV linked to cervical cancer (strains 16, 18 and 31), are not the ones that cause genital warts. Women are advised to have a pap smear annually to check for precancerous cells, or other abnormalities. If cervical cancer is detected early, it can be treated without impairing fertility.

Extractions: Prevention and Treatment The Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act of 2000 On October 24, 2000, the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act of 2000 ( Public Law 106-354 ) was signed into law. This Act, which has an effective date of October 1, 2000, gives states the option to provide medical assistance through Medicaid to eligible women who were screened through the and found to have breast or cervical cancer, including pre-cancerous conditions. NBCCEDP, which is administered by CDC, provides free breast and cervical cancer screening and follow-up diagnostic services to women in need, such as those who are uninsured or have low incomes. In 2000, CDC began its 10th year of this landmark program, supporting early detection programs in all 50 states, 6 U.S. territories, the District of Columbia, and 12 American Indian and Alaska Native organizations. Native American Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Technical Amendment Act of 2001 On January 15, 2002, Congress passed a technical amendment to the BCCPT Act. This amendment, the Native American Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Technical Amendment Act of 2001, extends benefits of the BCCPT Act to additional American Indian and Alaska Native women.

Innovative Approaches to cervical cancer Prevention. In many countries, cervical cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women.
http://www.reproline.jhu.edu/english/3cc/medscape_article.htm

Extractions: Noel McIntosh, MD, ScD; Lynne Gaffikin, DrPH The article recently published by Sankaranarayanan and colleagues[1] ( Adobe Acrobat File , 175k) provides an interesting, informative, and timely glimpse at the struggle to devise resource-appropriate interventions for an important public health problem. In many countries, cervical cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women. The cause of cervical cancer is generally acknowledged to be the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV); as a sexually transmitted disease (STD), cervical cancer is responsible for more deaths than all other STDs combined, with the recent exception of HIV/AIDS.[2] This is particularly tragic because the vast majority of the estimated 231,000 annual cervical cancer deaths worldwide[3] are preventable. Dr. Sankaranarayanan and colleagues correctly relate that despite over 30 years of effort, very little headway toward reducing cervical cancer deaths has been made in the majority of developing countries. Why is this? Some of the findings from their review help answer this question. Low-resource countries need to invest now in strategies to improve women's health, not wait for the capacity of their health infrastructure to approach that of an industrialized country. In this light, Dr. Sankaranarayanan and his colleagues suggest that to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cervical cancer, low-resource countries must consider "planned investments" into prevention strategies, that have not, to date, been effective.[1] As the article suggests, population growth alone will strain extant cervical cancer prevention health infrastructures, so the critical question is whether cost-effective prevention programs can feasibly be introduced and maintained in low-resource countries where large numbers of women still die from cervical cancer.
Fact Sheet 3.20
HPVs are now recognized as the major cause of cervical cancer. What are the risk factors for HPV infection and cervical cancer?
http://cis.nci.nih.gov/fact/3_20.htm

Extractions: What are human papillomaviruses, and how are they transmitted? Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of more than 100 types of viruses. They are called papillomaviruses because certain types may cause warts, or papillomas, which are benign (noncancerous) tumors . The HPVs that cause the common warts which grow on hands and feet are different from those that cause growths in the throat or genital area. Some types of HPVs are associated with certain types of cancer. Of the more than 100 types of HPVs, over 30 types can be passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Although HPVs are usually transmitted sexually, doctors cannot say for certain when infection occurred. Most HPV infections come and go over the course of a few years. However, sometimes HPV infection persists for many years, with or without causing

http://allsands.com/Health/Diseases/cervicalcancer_xss_gn.htm

Extractions: Cervical cancer Cancer of the cervix, a common kind of cancer in women, is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the tissues of the cervix. The cervix is the opening of the uterus (womb). The uterus is the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby develops. The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina (birth canal). Cancer of the cervix usually grows slowly over a period of time. Before cancer cells are found on the cervix, the tissues of the cervix go through changes in which cells that are not normal begin to appear (known as dysplasia). A Pap Smear will usually find these cells. Later, cancer cells start to grow and spread more deeply into the cervix and to surrounding areas. bodyOffer(4786) Since there are usually no symptoms associated with cancer of the cervix, you must be sure you doctor does a series of tests to look for it. The first of these is a Pap Smear, using a piece of cotton, a brush or a small wooden stick to gently scrape the outside of the cervix in order to pick up cells. You may feel some pressure, but you usually do not feel pain. If cells that are not normal are found, your doctor will need to cut a sample of tissue (called a biopsy) from the cervix and look at it under a microscope to see if there are any cancer cells. A biopsy that needs only a small amount of tissue may be done in your doctor's office. If your doctor needs to take a larger, cone-shaped piece of tissue (conization), you may need to go to the hospital.

Extractions: Cervical Cancer In 1989, a National Workshop on Screening for Cancer of the Cervix reviewed the 1982 recommendations on screening for cancer of the cervix and recognized that programs in Canada were still not fully effective: not all women at risk were being screened; some physicians had not acquired the necessary skill to take satisfactory smears; some laboratories were too small to provide adequate experience for staff and adequate quality control; and some women with detected cytologic abnormalities were receiving inadequate follow-up and management (Miller, 1991). Conversely, some women were being screened too frequently, resulting in inappropriate use of resources. Recommendations reiterated the need for an organized approach and addressed the following issues: the frequency of screening; the management of abnormalities; information systems; training and quality control requirements for laboratories and programs. The recommendations were accepted by the Conference of Deputy Ministers of Health in November, 1990, who requested that a report of a regular review of developments be made to them on a periodic basis. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, the Gynecologic Oncologists of Canada and the Society of Canadian Colposcopists supported the development of formal screening programs. The recommendation with respect to a screening interval of 3 years concerned these groups in the absence of adequate information systems and high-quality laboratory services; also of concern was the recommendation for repeat smears without colposcopy for low-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia. These groups suggested that until patient information systems and high-quality laboratory services are in place, annual screening of sexually active women should continue to be the standard of practice

http://www.imperialcancer.co.uk/aboutcancer/specificcancers/cervicalcancer

Extractions: If you or a friend or relative have been diagnosed with cancer, you will find much more detailed information on our patient information site, CancerHelp UK Summary Each year, there are over 3,200 new cases of cervical cancer in the UK, just 2% of new cases diagnosed. Although there is a higher chance to develop cervical cancer later in life, it is the second most common cancer in women under the age of 35. The cancer develops from cells lining the cervix, which is the canal that connects the uterus to the vagina. During childbirth, the baby passes through this canal. Cervical cancer does not develop suddenly. There is usually a period when some of the cells lining the cervix develop abnormal changes that can give rise to cervical cancer later on. Doctors can pick up these changes through screening, and simple treatment can prevent cancer developing. The NHS cervical screening programme has been very effective in reducing the number of cases diagnosed in the UK. Risk factors Risk factors for cervical cancer include: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection There are many types or strains of HPV. Some types can cause warts. Others are known as high-risk types, as they can cause abnormalities in the cells in the cervix, and cervical cancer. A high-risk HPV infection is present in almost all women with cervical cancer, but most women do not go on to develop cervical cancer.

Extractions: About IYH Diseases Breast Cancer Cervical Cancer ... Sign up as a distributor Cervical cancer can for the most part be avoided or easily treated. It can also be easily detected by regular screening. However, most women who develop cervical cancer have not been screened in the three years prior to their diagnosis. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus leading into the vagina. This is an area where cells change rapidly, and where malignant cell changes are most likely to occur. While cervical cancer is the tenth most common cancer among Canadian women of all ages, it is the third most common among women aged 20 to 49. The Papanicolaou (Pap) smear test is used to detect changes in the cervix before they become cancerous or when they are at a stage when treatment can be effective. Since the introduction of the Pap test more than 25 years ago, the death rate from cervical cancer has declined dramatically, dropping almost 50 percent. The survival rate is 74 percent over five years. However, approximately 1,450 Canadian women will receive a diagnosis this year of invasive cervical cancer, and approximately 420 women will die from this disease. Woman who are older (aged 40-59), immigrant, Aboriginal or have a lower socio-economic status are at higher risk of developing cervical cancer, primarily because they have not been screened at all or have been screened irregularly.

Aetna, the nation's largest health insurer, on Wednesday became the latest plan to cover the new DNA test that checks for the presence of a virus that studies show causes more than 99 percent of cervical cancers. The test is used when a Pap smear proves inconclusive which happens about 5 percent of the time.
