cervical cancer in Canada March 1998 - Cancer Updates.
http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/updates/cervix-98_e.html

Extractions: Cervical Cancer in Canada (March 1998) Cancer of the cervix is the eleventh most frequently diagnosed cancer among Canadian women (in contrast, it is the second most common form of cancer in women worldwide) and, despite being almost completely preventable through regular screening, continues to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality. It was estimated that, in 1997, approximately 1300 women would develop cervical cancer and 390 women would die from this disease . A study by Miller et al revealed that mortality estimates based on information from death certificates were underestimates, since a large number of cervical cancer deaths were incorrectly coded as uterine cancer deaths. Regional variation in the incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer is considerable, with higher rates in the Atlantic and Northern regions and lower rates in Western Canada (Figures and , data supplied by the Canadian Cancer Registry, formerly the National Cancer Incidence Reporting System).

CNN - National Cancer Institute Urges New Treatment For Cervical Cancer - Februa
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9902/23/cervical.cancer.02/index.html

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: From CNN Medical Correspondent Eileen O'Connor WASHINGTON (CNN) The National Cancer Institute mailed letters Monday to thousands of doctors, encouraging them to use chemotherapy with radiation in treating cervical cancer after a series of studies showed such treatment can cut death rates in half. Dr. Edward Trimble, head of surgery at the NCI's therapy evaluation program, said the findings are "very significant." The results of five separate studies found that women with invasive cervical cancer have better rates of survival when they receive chemotherapy, including the drug cisplatin, along with radiation therapy. "This is a very big deal," Trimble said. "It should change the way women with cervical cancer are treated. We want to get the word across, so we are mailing this announcement to thousands of doctors who treat cervical cancer." This is the first such announcement since 1995, the last pertaining to the treatment of breast cancer.
Penile Cancer, Cervical Cancer And Circumcision Status
cervical cancer has epidemiologic similarities to venereal disease. The hypothesis that cervical cancer is caused by smegma of the male foreskin was
http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/cancer/

Extractions: The alleged relationship between "lack of circumcision" and genital cancers formerly implicated smegma or smegma-borne pathogens as the causative agent. Only two histologic studies of human smegma ever have been conducted, both of which found it to be perfectly harmless. Smegma is composed of secretions of ectopic sebaceous glands in the prepuce mixed with secretions of the prostate, seminal vesicles, mucin from the urethral glands, and desquamated epithelial cells. The hypothesis that human male smegma is carcinogenic was first formulated in 1932 by circumcision promoter Abraham L. Wolbarst, M.D. . Wolbarst also believed that circumcision prevented epilepsy. (In the early part of the 20th Century, the paroxysm of masturbation in children was often misidentified as an epileptic seizure.) Wolbarst wrote: "[Circumcision] diminishes the tendency to masturbation, convulsions and other reflex phenomena of local irritation." Wolbarst's beliefs about circumcision were shared by other writers, such as Peter Remondino and Abraham Ravich. No laboratory or clinical research had been done on the subject at the time. Regardless, Wolbarst's hypothesis about smegma and cancer found its way into early medical textbooks. In the 1950s a few experiments were done to test the hypothesis by injecting horse smegma into wounds made in the backs of mice. There were clinical studies that attempted to induce cancer by introducing smegma subcutaneously and intravaginally: No carcinomas could be induced.

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.

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 almost 3,000 new cases of cervical cancer in the UK, just 1% 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.

ACOG notes that an increasing number of women will no longer need annual testing for cervical cancer and that screening can also begin later than previously recommended. However, annual pelvic examinations are still advised for women across a broad age range. ACOG's new recommendations differ only slightly from recently revised recommendations of the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), but ACOG's new practice bulletin may have a bigger impact on the clinical practices of the nation's obstetrician-gynecologists. "Many of these changes have come about not only because of the technological changes in cancer screening over the years, but also because scientists now have a better understanding of the development of cervical cancer," says ACOG's Vice President for Practice Activities, Stanley Zinberg, MD.

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8702775/

Extractions: WASHINGTON - Virtually all deaths from cervical cancer are preventable, yet the disease will kill almost 4,000 women in this country this year. Frustrated scientists know who most of them will be: black women in the South, Hispanics along the Texas-Mexico border, white women in Appalachia and the rural Northeast, and Vietnamese immigrants. Efforts are under way to reach those women, including a $25 million federal program poised to let communities recruit volunteers - average women who speak their patients' language and can engender trust - to push Pap testing and shepherd the newly diagnosed through an often-baffling medical system. It's work made more urgent by the discovery that excess cervical cancer is a red flag for other health disparities: The same localities also have too-high rates of breast and colorectal cancer, strokes and infant mortality. The new report, from the National Cancer Institute, will "hopefully ring a bell for policymakers" in those communities, says Dr. Harold P. Freeman, a cancer specialist who works in Harlem and directs NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities.

http://www.idph.state.il.us/about/womenshealth/factsheets/cervical.htm

Extractions: What is cervical cancer? Cancer of the cervix is a common cancer in women. The disease occurs when cancer (malignant) cells are found in the tissues of the cervix - the opening of the uterus (womb). The cervix connects the uterus to the vagina (birth canal). Cancer of the cervix usually grows slowly over a period of time. Before cancer develops, cervical tissues change and cells that are not normal begin to appear (called dysplasia). What are the symptoms of cervical cancer? When should I start getting a Pap smear? Women should have yearly checkups, including a pelvic exam and a Pap test, if they are or have been sexually active or if they are 18 years of age or older. Those who are at increased risk of developing cancer of the cervix should follow their doctor's advice about checkups. What are the risk factors for developing cervical cancer? According to the National Cancer Institute, strong risk factors include: How is cervical cancer diagnosed?
