Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervical cancer is caused by HPV (human papilloma virus). It is the second most common cancer in women living low developed countries. The components of cervical cancer prevention and control comprises primary prevention, secondary prevention and tertiary prevention. Primary prevention of cervical cancer encompasses prevention of infection with HPV. Giving HPV vaccine for girls aged 9,Äì14¬†years before they initiate sexual activity is one of the interventions of primary prevention of cervical cancer. Screening and treatment is needed in secondary prevention of cervical cancer. Screening of cervical cancer encompasses testing a target group (women) who are at risk for a cervical pre-cancer. Tertiary prevention of cervical cancer comprises treatment of cervical cancer and palliative care. The components of tertiary care comprise surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and palliative care. Community mobilization, health education and counseling on cervical cancer prevention and control is vital to make ownership on cervical prevention. Monitoring and evaluation of cervical cancer prevention and control on key program indicators should be done regularly.

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.

Download or read book Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cervical Cancer Among Ethnically Diverse and Low Income Populations written by Narissa Jennifer Nonzee and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervical cancer prevention has undergone significant changes over recent decades. Evolving evidence and practices have shifted towards upstream prevention, less frequent screening, and more conservative follow-up. Understanding how these changes have been adopted among ethnic minority and low-income populations, groups disproportionately impacted by cervical cancer in the U.S., is important to optimizing prevention strategies. In three distinct studies, this dissertation advances evidence on adherence to recommendations for primary prevention (human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination) and secondary prevention (early detection) of cervical cancer among high-risk populations. The first study assesses changes in adolescent HPV vaccination following vaccine approval in the U.S., using two cycles of population-based survey data from Los Angeles County. Between 2007 and 2011, ethnic and income differences in parental HPV vaccine awareness diminished, and HPV vaccine uptake rates markedly increased among older adolescent girls and those with access barriers. Yet, five years after vaccine approval, overall only half of adolescent girls had initiated vaccination. The second study evaluates adoption of evidence-based guidelines for management of abnormal screening tests among young women, using four years of administrative claims data from California's Medicaid family planning program. A difference-in-differences approach was used to estimate the impact of updated guidelines on receipt of a colposcopy, a procedure that could lead to potential harmful interventions. Among a sample of low-income, predominantly Hispanic women, results suggested the guideline was associated with a 2-fold reduction in colposcopies for young women relative to a comparison group, which has implications for reducing future risk of adverse obstetric outcomes. Given provider recommendations can influence patient adherence, the third study explores provider communication around cervical cancer screening and follow-up recommendations, including lengthened screening intervals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among safety net providers in Southern California. Findings revealed that clinicians perceived explaining the rationale for guidelines, in addition to addressing patient emotions, uncertainty, and preferences, facilitated patient understanding and acceptance of recommended care. Collectively, these studies highlight opportunities to maximize the benefits of primary prevention and early detection strategies, while minimizing the harms of unnecessary intervention, among high-risk populations.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Malawi has one of the highest cervical cancer incidence and mortality in the world. Driven by the high prevalence of HPV and HIV, early sexual debut, and high parity, there is dire need for expanding quality cancer care services in the country. Methods: Mu00e9decins Sans Frontiu00e8res is implementing a comprehensive onco-gynaecological program with the Ministry of Health and the College of Medicine (COM) encompassing all stages of the cervical cancer disease course including vaccination, screening, and treatment. We describe the real-world implemental challenges and strengths of the comprehensive strategy in resource-constrained settings.ResultsA major programmatic challenge is balancing resources across primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention within a single program to achieve the greatest gain in cancer incidence and mortality in contexts where evidence is scarce. Lack of skilled human resources makes systematic assessment of patients in multidisciplinary team meetings a challenge, jeopardizing efforts to standardize care quality. Even when quality care is provided, community health facilities lack the capacity to follow-up patients after the first-course treatment, causing patients to accumulate in tertiary hospitals beyond its capacity and becoming lost to follow-up. Stigmatism, discrimination, and poverty also contribute to patient abandonment from communities. A comprehensive program gives unique opportunities to strengthen existing patient referral pathways to and from communities and to improve support by multi-sectoral and multi-level care coordination. A longitudinal database linking screening, diagnosis, treatment, and survival enables an adaptive and rapid-learning health system that will help us to understand the impact of the quality of each care component on patient survival. Conclusion The project aims to gain valuable real-world experiences in treating solid-tumors in resource-limited contexts. Partnership with the COM and international collaboration such as with ESGO for technical guidance and the development of national oncology subspecialty program are critical to ensure the long-term sustainability of program.

Download or read book Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication gives a broad vision of what a comprehensive approach to cervical cancer prevention and control means. In particular, it outlines the complementary strategies for comprehensive cervical cancer prevention and control, and highlights the need for collaboration across programs, organizations and partners. This new guide updates the 2006 edition and includes the recent promising developments in technologies and strategies that can address the gaps between the needs for and availability of services for cervical cancer prevention and control. In the last few years, there has been an emergence of ground-breaking new strategies in cervical cancer prevention and control. Because such strategies require evidence-based evaluation for decision-making in clinical practice and program planning, a World Health Organization (WHO) Steering Committee and a group of invited experts met in Geneva, Switzerland, in September 2010, to ensure that the WHO's guidance on cervical cancer continues to encompass all the relevant technologies and strategies. This edition of the guide has two new chapters: Chapter 2: Essentials for cervical cancer prevention and control programs and Chapter 4: HPV vaccination. One chapter has been newly organized: Chapter 5: Screening and treatment of cervical pre-cancer. All other chapters have been thoroughly updated and edited as needed. This guide aims to assist those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden of cervical cancer on women, their communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge, best practices and communication skills needed by health-care providers working at community and primary and secondary levels of care to offer quality services for prevention, screening, treatment and palliative care for cervical cancer: the full continuum of care. The guide is intended primarily for health-care providers in health centers and district hospitals who deal with women's health and/or adolescent's health, but it may also be of interest to community-based and tertiary-level providers. Providers and managers at the sub-national level whose responsibilities may include program planning would be interested in Chapter 2 on program essentials, which covers implementation, monitoring and evaluating, and/or supervising and training other health-care providers. National-level decision-makers will find updated evidence-based information in this guide on what works in cervical cancer prevention and control programs, which may be of use as a basis for updating their own guidelines and protocols.
