The sexually transmitted disease no one talks about
HPV has been around since ancient times, but it often goes undetected
May 2, 2000 BY JULIE SEVRENS
KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS When parents talk to their children about the birds and the bees, there's one thing that's rarely mentioned: the human papilloma virus. ABOUT HPV The human papilloma virus is the most common sexually transmitted disease, with about 5.5 million new cases occurring in the United States every year. Here are some other facts about the disease:
Nearly three out of four Americans from the ages of 15 to 49 have been infected with HPV. Most have just never known it. The body's immune system often can sufficiently suppress or perhaps even kill the virus on its own.
Vaginal, oral and anal sex can all spread the disease, as can skin-to-skin contact in the genital region. Abstinence is the best defense. Condoms offer some protection but, because they do not cover the entire genital area, it is possible to acquire the virus while using them.
Most HPV cases are symptomless and often harmless. Of the 70 to 100 strains of HPV thought to be in existence today, just two are responsible for causing genital warts. About a dozen are high-risk strains associated with causing cervical cancer. It is possible to acquire more than one virus strain.

The vaccine could mean an end for smear tests
A vaccine to protect women from one of the biggest cancer killers could be available within five years. Early clinical trials of a vaccine for cervical cancer have shown that it is 100% effective. It also protects against genital warts. The breakthrough could help to save thousands of lives each year.
This is really the holy grail of cancer research. It is very exciting
Dr Anne Szarewksi, Cancer Research UK Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women under 35 in the UK. It claims 1,300 lives each year. The vaccine works by triggering the body's immune system to attack the human papiloma virus (HPV), which has been linked to almost all cases of cervical cancer. Further trials The vaccine would be given to teenage girls. It would only work in females who have not yet become sexually active.

Smear tests can spot cancer A vaccine that prevents infections known to cause cervical cancer could be available to women within three years, UK experts believe. By guarding against human papilloma virus, it could save thousands of lives and may end the need for smears tests. The vaccine would be given to girls before they are sexually active. Trials have shown a jab can offer 100% protection against strains of HPV linked to about 70% of cervical cancers. Protection Some forms of the HPV virus only cause genital warts, but others cause cervical cancer. It is estimated up to half of the young women in Britain have been infected with a high-risk strain of HPV by the time they are 30. The vaccine may even eventually mean the end of smear testing.
Dr Anne Szarewski from Cancer Research UK 'High risk' HPV types, strains 16, 18 and 31 and 33, have been found to be present in close to 100% of all cervical cancers, according to the NHS Cancer Screening Programmes. Since cervical cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in women worldwide, preventing HPV would save many lives.

Alternate Names : Cancer - Cervix Definition Cancer of the uterine cervix, the portion of the uterus attached to the top of the vagina. Ninety percent of cervical cancers arise from the flattened or "squamous" cells covering the cervix. Most of the remaining 10% arise from the glandular, mucus-secreting cells of the cervical canal leading into the uterus.
Cervical Biopsy
Cervical Neoplasia

Cervical Cancer Cervical Cancer The development of cervical cancer is gradual and begins as a pre-cancerous condition called dysplasia. In this form it is 100% treatable, usually without the need for a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus).

Cervical Cancer / Cancer of the Cervix
Cervical cancer occurs at the cervix which is the opening to the womb.
The highest incidence of cervical cancer occurs in women aged 40-55.
Each year in Ireland, over 60 women die of cervical cancer.
Nearly 70% of women who die from cervical cancer have not hadroutine smear tests.
The majority of cervical cancer cases can be successfullyprevented if detected early enough by regular
smear tests.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
The most common symptom is vaginal bleeding after intercourse. Bleeding between periods may be also abnormal. Offensive vaginal discharge may also be a symptom.
In the early stages of the disease, there may be no obvious signs or symptoms that will tell a woman she is at risk. The only way to detect cancerous cells is by having a regular smear test every 2-3 years.
RISK FACTORS
Genital infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV), which in some cases causes genital warts, plays a role in the development of cervical cancer.
HPV is passed on during sexual intercourse with an infected partner.

Fortunately, however, cervical cancer can often be prevented or detected in its earliest stages through effective screening. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center has a long-standing multidisciplinary team approach to providing the best possible screening, counseling, and treatment for gynecologic cancers. We believe that our most significant impact occurs when our resources are applied early in the cancer treatment program.

Cervical Cancer What is Cancer Anyway?
Causes and Risks
Symptoms Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases. They all affect the body's basic unit, the cell. Cancer occurs when cells become abnormal and divide without control. All of the organs of the body are made up of many types of cells. Normally, cells divide to produce more cells only when the body needs them. This orderly process helps keep us healthy. If cells keep dividing when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This mass of extra tissue, called a growth or tumor, can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors are not cancerous. They can usually be removed and, in most cases, they do not come back. The most important thing is that cells from benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Benign tumors are not a threat to life. Polyps, cysts, and genital warts are types of benign growths of the cervix.

http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/cancer/
Penile cancer, cervical cancer, and circumcision
History
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.

Transmission Natural History Subclinical HPV Genital Warts ... Additional Resources
While a handful of sexually transmitted HPVs can cause a variety of conditions that can lead to dangerous cancers if they remain untreated, it is a gross and dangerous exaggeration to typify HPV as a "dreaded virus" and safer-sex, public health messages advocating condom use as a "conspiracy" ("House Approves...", 2000). This fact sheet will give sexually active women and men the facts they need to understand the real nature of HPVs, what conditions HPVs cause, how those conditions can be effectively managed, and how one may reduce one's own risk of becoming infected.

Subclinical HPV
HPV infections that cannot be seen with the naked eye may be seen with a variety of clinical tools:
During a pelvic exam, a hand lens or colposcope may be used to magnify cervical and vaginal tissue (Verdon, 1997).
