Overall, cervical cancer is relatively uncommon in the developed countries of the world, where intensive screening programs are in place. Since the advent and widespread use of screening Papanicolaou (Pap) smears, which detect asymptomatic preinvasive lesions at the earliest stages, the incidence of cervical cancer has dramatically decreased from 32 cases per 100,000 women in the 1940s to 8.3 cases per 100,000 women in the 1980s. However, in many parts of the developing world, cervical cancer continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality. After breast cancer, cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide. Cervical cancer is relatively uncommon in developed countries with intensive cytologic screening programs.

    Extractions: factsheet no:7 Smoking, sex and Reproduction Action on Smoking and Health – May Introduction Cigarette smoking can affect women’s fertility; men’s fertility; sexual function in men; pregnant women's health; the health of an unborn child; and the health of young children. Most of the information below is sourced from the British Medical Association report: Smoking and Reproductive Life: http://www.bma.org.uk/ap.nsf/Content/SmokingReproductiveLife Fertility Women who smoke take longer to conceive. Among smokers, the chances of conceiving fall by 10 – 40 per cent per cycle. The greater the quantity of cigarettes smoked, the longer a woman is likely to take to achieve pregnancy. Even comparatively low levels of smoking can have a significant impact. An investigation involving almost 11,000 women in Denmark revealed that women who smoked between five and nine cigarettes a day were 1.8 times more likely than non-smokers to wait longer than 12 months to conceive. A British study found that both active and passive smoking was associated with delayed conception. Cigarette smoking can also affect male fertility: smoking reduces the quality of semen. Men who smoke have a lower sperm count than non-smokers, and their semen contains a higher proportion of malformed sperm. By-products of nicotine present in semen of smokers have been found to reduce the motility of sperm.

    Extractions: Cervical cancer can be prevented and, in most cases, it can be cured if treated early. Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death, but death rates have dropped dramatically over the last 40 years. This is due to the use of the Pap test, an examination performed in your doctor's office to detect early abnormal cells. Cervical cancer is the eleventh most common cancer among Canadian women. Most cervical cancers are caused by specific strains of the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). This virus is passed from one person to another by genital skin contact. Intercourse in not necessarily required for transmission. HPV can be transmitted by sexual contact with women or men. Am I at risk?

    http://www.cervical-dysplasia-causes.com/
    
    Extractions: www.health-science-report.com Cervical dysplasia means that there is abnormal cell growth (dysplasia) in the cervix. The cervix is the firm, smooth organ that forms the entrance to the uterus in the female reproductive system. Cell growth is considered abnormal when some areas of cervical cells are immature compared with their normal neighbors. They also divide faster than expected, and their nuclei show specific types of microscopic changes. Cervical dysplasia is an important health problem because it sometimes, but not always, progresses to cervical cancer. Cervical dysplasia is a laboratory diagnosis made on the tiny sample of cervical tissue taken for a Pap smear. Depending on the specific naming system used, cervical dysplasia may also be calledsquamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) or cervical intraepithelialneoplasia (CIN). When a Pap smear is examined under a microscope and abnormal cervical cells involve the lower third of the specimen, the condition is described as "mild" cervical dysplasia (low-grade SIL or CIN 1). If abnormal cervical cells are found on larger portions of the specimen, the condition is described as "moderate" or "severe" cervical dysplasia (high-grade SIL or CIN 2 or 3).

    Extractions: Cervical Cancer Information Directory Home Cancer Types Gynacological Cancers Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer is a common type of malignancy accounting for about 6% of all cancers found in women. It is a disease in which cancerous cells develop in the uterine cervix (this is the connecting passage between the uterus and vagina). The human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the principal cause of most cervical cancers. The peak incidence of cervical cancer occurs between the ages of 40 to 55. It is rare before the age of 35, however the incidence of cervical cancer in younger women rose dramatically during the two decades after 1960. Regular Pap smear tests may detect abnormal changes in the cervical tissues, before cancer develops. Symptoms of cervical cancer may include vaginal bleeding after intercourse or bleeding between periods. However, in the early stages of the disease there are often no obvious signs or symptoms, so regular smear tests are important.

    Extractions: Screening for Cervical Cancer RECOMMENDATION Routine screening for cervical cancer with Papanicolaou (Pap) testing is recommended for all women who are or have been sexually active and who have a cervix. Pap smears should begin with the onset of sexual activity and should be repeated at least every 3 years (see Clinical Intervention). There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against an upper age limit for Pap testing, but recommendations can be made on other grounds to discontinue regular testing after age 65 in women who have had regular previous screenings in which the smears have been consistently normal. There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening with cervicography or colposcopy, or for screening for human papilloma virus infection, although recommendations against such screening can be made on other grounds (see Clinical Intervention). Burden of Suffering The principal screening test for cervical cancer is the Pap smear. Although the Pap smear can sometimes detect endometrial, vaginal, and other cancers,3,4 its use as a screening test is intended for the early detection of cervical dysplasia and cancer. Other proposed cervical screening tests include cervicography, colposcopy, and testing for HPV infection. The role of pelvic examination, which usually accompanies the collection of the cervical specimen, is discussed in Chapter 14 in relation to ovarian cancer screening.

More than 50 types of HPV have been identified, some of which are associated with cancerous and precancerous conditions. The virus can be transmitted through sexual contact and is a precursor to cancer of the cervix. There is no specific cure for an HPV infection, but the virus often can be controlled by podophyllin (medicine derived from the roots of the plant Podophyllum peltatum) or interferon, and the warts can be removed by cryosurgery, laser treatment or conventional surgery.

    Extractions: Cancer Center To Learn More About This Topic: Chat with Us Email Us Scientists believe that some abnormal changes in cells on the cervix are the first step in a series of slow changes that can lead to cancer years later. Pre-cancerous changes of the cervix usually do not cause pain. In fact, they generally do not cause any symptoms and are not detected unless a woman has a pelvic exam and a Pap test. About 15,000 women each year learn they have cervical cancer, or cancer of the cervix (the lower, narrower portion of the uterus.) It is important to know that cancer of the cervix is different from cancer that begins in other parts of the uterus, and requires different treatment. Socioeconomic status is a significant risk factor for cervical cancer, since a lack of access to medical care often eliminates the opportunity for early diagnosis by Pap smear screening. Smoking, a high number of sexual partners, and early age of first intercourse are other risk factors. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and HPV (Human Papillomavirus) infections are also associated risks for cervical cancer. Fortunately, pre-cancerous conditions of the cervix can be detected and treated through regular pelvic exams and Pap tests (also called a Pap smear, this simple procedure enables doctors to look at cells from the cervix and identify cancerous or pre-cancerous cells). Regular, professional gynecological examinations remain the most effective way to prevent invasive cervical cancer.
