Learn more What Women Should Know about HPV and Cervical Health Article date: A new test is now out for a virus called the human papilloma (pap-ah-loma-ah) virus, or HPV. HPV can lead to cervix cancer. This document answers some common questions about HPV and cervix cancer, and who should think about having an HPV test. What is cervix cancer? How common is it? Cervix cancer begins in the cervix, the part of the womb (or uterus) that opens to the vagina. Cervix cancer was once the number one cause of death due to cancer in women. Thanks to the Pap test, which helps doctors find cervix cancer, not as many women in the US get the disease. What is HPV? How does it lead to cervix cancer?

Extractions: More Information Note: Separate PDQ summaries on Screening for Cervical Cancer and Prevention of Cervical Cancer are also available. Note: Estimated new cases and deaths from cervical (uterine cervix) cancer in the United States in 2005: [ 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.

http://www.meb.uni-bonn.de/cancer.gov/CDR0000062961.html

Extractions: About PDQ 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.

http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/20850-1.asp

Extractions: Search September 8, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Cancer and Tumors 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. 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.

http://www.4woman.gov/faq/ccervix.htm

Extractions: Where can I learn more about 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. 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?

Screening: Cervical Cancer

http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/uspstf/uspscerv.htm

Extractions: Release Date: January 2003 Summary of Recommendations Supporting Documents 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.

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.

Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, are responsible for the majority of cervical cancer cases. When exposed to HPV, the immune system response in most women prevents the virus from doing harm. In a small group of women, however, the virus survives for years before it eventually converts some cells on the surface of the cervix into cancer cells. Half of cervical cancer cases occur in women between the ages of 35 and 55.
