Cervical Cancer Vaccine

Executive summary about Cervical Cancer Vaccine by Juliet Cohen

Cervical cancer is a malignant cancer of the cervix. Cervical cancer is cancer that starts in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top. Cancer of the cervix (also known as cervical cancer) begins in the lining of the cervix. Cervical cancers do not form suddenly. Normal cervical cells gradually develop pre-cancerous changes that turn into cancer. Cervical cancer is caused by several types of a virus called human papillomaviruses (HPV). Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control.

The remaining 10% to 20% of cervical cancers are adenocarcinomas. Most (80-90%) invasive cervical cancer develops in flat, scaly surface cells that line the cervix (called squamous cell carcinomas). Cervical cancer is found only in women.

Cervical cancer that is caught early can usually be cured. The cervical cancer vaccine currently available in Australia is called Gardasil. HPV 16 and 18 are responsible for the majority (70% internationally; 80% in Australia) of cervical cancers. A vaccine for girls and young women protects against the four types of HPV that cause most cervical cancers.

Cervical Cancer Treatment Tips

1. Chemotherapy uses anticancer drugs to kill cancer cells.

2. A vaccine that offers protection from the virus responsible for most cases of cervical cancer

3. Avoid Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer.

A Vaccine For The Prevention Of Cervical Cancer?

Executive summary about Cervical Cancer Vaccine by Fritz Frei

The HPV infections are sexually transmitted diseases which prepare the way for cervical cancer.

The Vaccine protected the young women completely against precancerous Lesions (medium – or high-grad) of the Cervix related to HPV 16 and 18. The protection result was 100 % of cases!

We should not forget – the Cervical Cancer is the second leading cancer in Young women and accounts for 11 % of Cancers in all women! For instance, we know that the connection between HPV infection and cervical cancer is much stronger than that between smoking and lung cancer.

One of the first steps is vaccinating adolescents (D3-”Chronical”) Before they come into contact with the virus; – Results – No virus, no Lesions – no cancer! Prevention – the essential part of the combating Cervical Cancer.

The most oncogenic subtypes of HPV can now be wiped out thanks to this new quadrivalent vaccine. No virus, no lesions – and if there are no lesions, that means no cancer.

A study conducted with more than 20,000 women has shown the absolute effectiveness of a vaccine in the prevention of cervical cancer due to the most common types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The Oncologists are enthusiastic.

Cervical Cancer Symptoms

Executive Summary about Cervical Cancer Symptoms by Ashira R

Cervical cancer symptoms are hard to be distinguished from normal female reproductive processes. At other times cervical cancer can have no symptoms at all.

Some of the common symptoms are abnormal bleeding during the month or an unusually heavy discharge that may be foul smelling, watery or contain mucus.

Pelvic pain unrelated to the normal menstrual cycle that range from dull aches to severe sharp pains lasting for hours.

Pain during urination. Bladder pain which can be an indication that the cancer has spread to the bladder.

Bleeding between cycles or after sex.

Pain during intercourse or pain that lasts for more than 30 minutes after an orgasm.

Since abnormal cervical cell changes rarely cause any symptoms at all, it is vital that women have regular pap test screening (even women who have stopped the normal cycle). It is of utmost importance that woman of all ages have regularly scheduled pelvic examinations including a Pap smear.

Cervical Cancer Early Symptoms – 7 Early Symptoms of Cervical Cancer

Executive Summary about Cervical Cancer Symptoms by Olinda Rola

Early symptoms of cervical cancer and cervical cancer are the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide.

Cervical cancer causes are commonly related to a sexually transmitted virus called the human papilloma virus or ‘HPV’. Most HPV infections will not lead to cervical cancer early symptoms and cancer. Certain changes called ‘high-grade lesions’ may progress to early symptoms of cervical cancer and cervical cancer if not treated.

Common cervical cancer early symptoms include these symptoms:

• Vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse

• Pelvic pain

• Pain during sexual intercourse

• Unusual vaginal discharge

• Abnormal bleeding between menstrual periods

• Heavy bleeding during your menstrual period

• Increased urinary frequency

The Pap smear is a test for the early symptoms of cervical cancer such as cancerous or pre-cancerous cells of the cervix. Most Pap smear test results are rated from Class I through Class V.

• Class I is normal,

• Class II means an irritation or inflammation,

• Class III means it is a true cervical dysplasia that can range from mild to serious,

• Class IV may be one of a variety of pre-cancers or cancers,

• Class V is one of the serious invasive cervical cancer signs.

If your Pap smear shows dysplasia, a biopsy can rule out cervical cancer.

Hopefully, it should give women more accurate screenings, eliminate unnecessary biopsies and help diagnose cervical cancer early symptoms and early cancer stages. Ask your doctor if this or a more accurate test for cervical cancer is now available.

Early symptoms of cervical cancer often go on without the woman suspecting that a problem exists! Cervical cancer is usually a slow-growing cancer. Most women with invasive cervical cancer will be treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation or some combination of these. And a hysterectomy may be recommended as a consequence of cervical cancer that has spread within the cervix.
