Extractions: Cervical Cancer In 1989, a National Workshop on Screening for Cancer of the Cervix reviewed the 1982 recommendations on screening for cancer of the cervix and recognized that programs in Canada were still not fully effective: not all women at risk were being screened; some physicians had not acquired the necessary skill to take satisfactory smears; some laboratories were too small to provide adequate experience for staff and adequate quality control; and some women with detected cytologic abnormalities were receiving inadequate follow-up and management (Miller, 1991). Conversely, some women were being screened too frequently, resulting in inappropriate use of resources. Recommendations reiterated the need for an organized approach and addressed the following issues: the frequency of screening; the management of abnormalities; information systems; training and quality control requirements for laboratories and programs. The recommendations were accepted by the Conference of Deputy Ministers of Health in November, 1990, who requested that a report of a regular review of developments be made to them on a periodic basis. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada, the Gynecologic Oncologists of Canada and the Society of Canadian Colposcopists supported the development of formal screening programs. The recommendation with respect to a screening interval of 3 years concerned these groups in the absence of adequate information systems and high-quality laboratory services; also of concern was the recommendation for repeat smears without colposcopy for low-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia. These groups suggested that until patient information systems and high-quality laboratory services are in place, annual screening of sexually active women should continue to be the standard of practice

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).

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.

Extractions: WEB SERVICES: NEW YORK (AP) A more definitive cervical cancer screening test that helps reduce uncertainty in diagnosing the disease is gaining support from doctors and health insurers. 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.

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.

(1) Rates for carcinoma in situ peak between the ages of 20 and 30, and the incidence of invasive cervical cancer increases with age. (2) Twenty-five percent of all invasive cervical cancers occur in women over age 65. Any woman who has been sexually active is at risk for cervical cancer. (3) Additional risk factors include early onset of sexual intercourse, (4,5) history of multiple sexual partners, (5) history of sexually transmitted disease (especially HPV (6) and HIV(7)), smoking, (8) and never having been screened. (9) Description of preventive measure The Papanicolaou (Pap) smear is used to screen for cervical cancer to detect lesions when they are still highly curable. (10) The lead time from the development of precancerous lesions to invasive cancer is estimated at 8-9 years.(2) The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends obtaining cellular samples from both the endocervical canal (using an endocervical brush) and from the portio, which includes the entire transformation zone.(11) Use of both an endocervical brush and a spatula has been shown to collect a better sample of cells than either a spatula alone, or a spatula used in combination with a cotton-tipped swab.(12)

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?
Death From Cervical Cancer Easily Preventable - - MSNBC.com
Virtually all deaths from cervical cancer are preventable, yet the disease willkill almost 4000 women in this country this year.
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.
