Note: Estimated new cases and deaths from cervical (uterine cervix) cancer in the United States in 2005: [ New cases: 10,370. Deaths: 3,710. 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.

About PDQ General Information About Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the cervix. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). The cervix leads from the uterus to the vagina (birth canal). Cervical cancer usually develops slowly over time. Before cancer appears in the cervix, the cells of the cervix go through changes known as dysplasia , in which cells that are not normal begin to appear in the cervical tissue . Later, cancer cells start to grow and spread more deeply into the cervix and to surrounding areas. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the major risk factor for development of cervical cancer. Infection of the cervix with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common cause of cervical cancer. Not all women with HPV infection, however, will develop cervical cancer. Women who do not regularly have a Pap smear to detect HPV or abnormal cells in the cervix are at increased risk of 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?

31. Screening: Cervical Cancer The USPSTF strongly recommends screening for cervical cancer in women who havebeen sexually active and have a cervix. Rating A recommendation. http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/uspstf/uspscerv.htm

U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Screening for Cervical Cancer Release Date: January 2003 Summary of Recommendations Supporting Documents Summary of Recommendations The USPSTF strongly recommends screening for cervical cancer in women who have been sexually active and have a cervix. Rating: A recommendation Rationale : The USPSTF found good evidence from multiple observational studies that screening with cervical cytology (Pap smears) reduces incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer. Direct evidence to determine the optimal starting and stopping age and interval for screening is limited. Indirect evidence suggests most of the benefit can be obtained by beginning screening within 3 years of onset of sexual activity or age 21 (whichever comes first) and screening at least every 3 years ( go to Clinical Considerations ). The USPSTF concludes that the benefits of screening substantially outweigh potential harms. The USPSTF recommends against routinely screening women older than age 65 for cervical cancer if they have had adequate recent screening with normal Pap smears and are not otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer (go to Clinical Considerations Rating: D recommendation Rationale : The USPSTF found limited evidence to determine the benefits of continued screening in women older than 65. The yield of screening is low in previously screened women older than 65 due to the declining incidence of high-grade cervical lesions after middle age. There is fair evidence that screening women older than 65 is associated with an increased risk for potential harms, including false-positive results and invasive procedures. The USPSTF concludes that the potential harms of screening are likely to exceed benefits among older women who have had normal results previously and who are not otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer.

Search September 19, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Cancer and Tumors Cervical Cancer Cervical Cancer Overview The uterine cervix is the lowest portion of a woman's uterus (womb). Most of the uterus lies in the pelvis, but part of the cervix is located in the vagina, where it connects the uterus with the vagina. Cancer of the cervix occurs when the cells of the cervix change in a way that leads to abnormal growth and invasion of other tissues or organs of the body. Like all cancers, cancer of the cervix is much more likely to be cured if it is detected early and treated immediately. One of the key features of cervical cancer is its slow progression from normal cervical tissue, to precancerous (or dysplastic) changes in the tissue, to invasive cancer. The slow progression through numerous precancerous changes is very important because it provides opportunities for prevention and early detection and treatment. These opportunities have caused the decline of cervical cancer over the past decades in the United States. Invasive cancer means that the cancer affects the deeper tissues of the cervix and may have spread to other parts of the body. This spread is called metastasis. Cervical cancers don't always spread, but those that do most often spread to the lungs, the liver, the bladder, the vagina, and/or the rectum.

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 never had a Programme smear can contact one of the ICSP Registered Smeartakers (Doctors and Nurses) to discuss having a free smear test. Or 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. 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.

Future Directions Introduction The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program , administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), helps low-income, uninsured, and underserved women gain access to lifesaving screening programs for early detection of breast and cervical cancers. Many deaths from breast and cervical cancers could be avoided by increasing cancer screening rates among women at risk. Deaths from these diseases occur disproportionately among women who are uninsured or underinsured. Mammography and Papanicolaou (Pap) tests are underused by women who have less than a high school education, are older, live below the poverty level, or are members of certain racial and ethnic minority groups. Studies show that early detection of breast and cervical cancers saves lives. Timely mammography screening among women aged 40 years or older could prevent approximately 16% of all deaths from breast cancer. Pap tests can find cervical cancer at an early stage when it is most curable, or even prevent the disease if precancerous lesions found during the test are treated.

Welcome to Ladies First! Ladies First is a health screening program for Vermont women. Ladies First removes financial barriers which prevents many women from being screened for cancer or heart disease. Federally funded through a grant to the Health Department, Ladies First pays for annual mammograms, clinical breast exams, pelvic exams, Pap tests, instruction in breast self-exam, and cardiovascular disease risk factor (cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes) screening. Services are provided locally, by the woman's own physician in most cases. Ladies First also pays for repeat mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies, and colposcopies. Early and regular screening is key to reducing the death rate from cancer and heart disease. Women who are older or have limited income are at higher risk to develop cancer and heart disease, and less likely to be screened for cancer.
