Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the cervix. World-wide, it is the second most common cancer of women. It may present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in advanced stages, which has made cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts utilising the Pap smear. Most scientific studies point to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection which is responsible for 90% of the cases of cervical cancer. There are 7 most common types of HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 42, 52 and 58. Types 16 and 18 being the most common cause of the cancer. Treatment is with surgery (including local excision) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease. This book presents cutting edge research in this study of cervical cancer. This involves, new perspectives in pharmacological treatments, anti-hormonal agents, therapeutic trends for patients, nerve sparing treatments, antibodies in single chain formats, predictors of radiation response, lymphatic mapping and docetaxel labelling with radionuclides.

Download or read book Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book gives an overview of the sessions, panel discussions, and outcomes of the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference, held in February 2018 in San Antonio, Texas, USA, and hosted by the Mays Cancer Center and the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San Antonio. Latinos – the largest, youngest, and fastest-growing minority group in the United States – are expected to face a 142% rise in cancer cases in coming years. Although there has been substantial advancement in cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment over the past few decades, addressing Latino cancer health disparities has not nearly kept pace with progress. The diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists brought together at the Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos conference provided in-depth insights as well as progress and actionable goals for Latino-focused basic science research, clinical best practices, community interventions, and what can be done by way of prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer in Latinos. These insights have been translated into the chapters included in this compendium; the chapters summarize the presentations and include current knowledge in the specific topic areas, identified gaps, and top priority areas for future cancer research in Latinos. Topics included among the chapters: Colorectal cancer disparities in Latinos: Genes vs. Environment Breast cancer risk and mortality in women of Latin American origin Differential cancer risk in Latinos: The role of diet Overcoming barriers for Latinos on cancer clinical trials Es tiempo: Engaging Latinas in cervical cancer research Emerging policies in U.S. health care Advancing the Science of Cancer in Latinos proves to be an indispensable resource offering key insights into actionable targets for basic science research, suggestions for clinical best practices and community interventions, and novel strategies and advocacy opportunities to reduce health disparities in Latino communities. It will find an engaged audience among researchers, academics, physicians and other healthcare professionals, patient advocates, students, and others with an interest in the broad field of Latino cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BackgroundDespite visual localization, cervical cancer (u0421u0421) remains one of the most u0421u0421) remains one of the most common malignant tumors in women. According to GLOBOCAN, in 2018 there were 569,847 new cases of u0421u0421 in the world (u0421u0421) remains one of the most the 4th most common cancer in women worldwide) and 61,072 new cases in Europe (u0421u0421) remains one of the most the 8th most common cancer in women in Europe). Mortality statistics are also depressing: 31,165 deaths were registered in 2018 in the world (u0421u0421) remains one of the most the 4th most common cause of cancer deaths in women) and 25,829 deaths in Europe (u0421u0421) remains one of the most the 10th most common cause of cancer deaths in women in Europe). According to GLOBOCAN, Ukraine ranks 11th in incidence and 6th in mortality from cervical cancer in Europe.Screening in oncology is the only method that allows identifying the disease at the early and preclinical stages, reducing the duration of treatment, the cost of maintaining a hospital fund and the disability of patients. u0421u0421 meets allrequirements for population screening. The first step towards the development of an organizational and legal model for the introduction of a population screening for u0421u0421 in Ukraine is the analysis of the incidence of cervical carcinoma in situ (u0421u0421) remains one of the most CIS) and cervical cancer.Aim: To study the trends in the incidence of CIS (code ICD-10 D06), compared with CC (ICD-10 C53) in Ukraine during the 2006-2016 period.MethodsThe methods of statistical analysis in descriptive oncoepidemiology were used to process the data. Based on the principles and methodology of medical informatics, the quality control of primary information was conducted in the database of the National Cancer Registry of Ukraine and the samples were formed. A cohort of patients with cervical cancer included 56579 cases; a cohort of patients with carcinoma in situ u2212 12387 cases. Calculation of incidence rates was carried out based on 100 thousand of the population, as well as standardized according to the world standard updated incidence rates of the population in the 2006-2016 period.As the loss from CC in reproductive age affects the labor and reproductivepotential of the country, the 2026 predicted rates of incidence in the age groups 0-29, 30-39 and 40-49 were estimated. The data processing was carried out using the programs of the National Cancer Registry of Ukraine information system.ResultsThe incidence rate of CC remains virtually unchanged over the past 10 years (about 20 cases per 100,000 female population). However, there was a redistribution of the incidence of CC depicting its increase in women of reproductive age and reduction in women after 50 years. Meanwhile, the incidence of CIS has a steady tendency to increase (from 3.5 0/0000 in 2006 to 5.8 0/0000 in 2016).Despite the increased number of cases of CIS, the C53 / D06 ratio remains unsatisfactory: it varies from 0.04 to 0.74 and averages 0.23 in Ukraine.An increase in the incidence of CC in women of reproductive age and the.
