Tumors or cancer of the UTERINE CERVIX.
Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).

Hybrid capture II, a new sensitive test for human papillomavirus detection. Comparison with hybrid capture I and PCR results in cervical lesions. (1/6661)

AIM: To test a new assay for the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA, hybrid capture II (HC II), compared with the previous commercialized hybrid capture I (HC I) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results on cervical scrapes from fresh cone excision biopsy samples. METHODS: The three methods were used on cervical scrapes from 42 fresh cone excision biopsy samples. There were nine metaplastic and inflammatory lesions, five low grade lesions, and 28 high grade lesions. PCR was performed using the general primers GP5+/GP6+. The viral load of high risk HPV DNA was estimated by the ratio of relative light units to positive control values in the samples. RESULTS: The sensitivity of HC I for the detection of high grade lesions was 71.4%, while it was 92.8% for HC II and 96.4% for the PCR. Considering only the absence of detectable cervical in situ neoplasia, the specificity was 88.9% for HC I, 66.7% for HC II, and 66.7% for PCR. With HC II, for a ratio of cervical sample to normal control of > 200, the sensitivity for the detection of high grade lesion was only 34.6% with a specificity of 66.7%. CONCLUSIONS: HPV detection with the HC II assay is more sensitive than the previous HC I and represents a more convenient and easier test than PCR for routine use. Nevertheless the viral load estimated with this test cannot be a reliable predictive indicator of high grade lesions.  (+info)

Immunohistochemical expression of mdm2 and p21WAF1 in invasive cervical cancer: correlation with p53 protein and high risk HPV infection. (2/6661)

AIM: To investigate the immunocytochemical staining pattern of mdm2 and p21WAF1 proteins in invasive cervical cancer and to determine its relation with the expression of p53 and with the high risk HPV infection. METHODS: Immunocytochemistry for p53, mdm2, and p21WAF1 was performed in 31 paraffin embedded sections of invasive cervical cancer. The results were assessed by image analysis, evaluating for each protein the optical density of the immunostained area, scored as percentage of the total nuclear area. The presence of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection was detected by using the polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: Immunostaining for both mdm2 and p21WAF1 was correlated with p53 expression; however, the correlation between p53 and mdm2 (R = 0.49; p < 0.01) was more significant than between p53 and p21WAF1 (R = 0.31; p < 0.05); the less stringent correlation between p53 and p21WAF1 might reflect the p53 independent mechanisms of p21WAF1 induction. Similar average levels of p53, mdm2, and p21WAF1 immunostaining were found in the presence or absence of high risk HPV-DNA, without significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that mdm2 and p21WAF1 proteins are expressed in invasive cervical cancer and that their immunocytochemical staining pattern is not abrogated by the presence of high risk HPV genomic sequences.  (+info)

Expression of extracellular matrix proteins in cervical squamous cell carcinoma--a clinicopathological study. (3/6661)

AIM: To evaluate the intracellular and peritumoral expression of matrix proteins in squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix using immunohistochemistry. METHODS: 71 squamous cell carcinomas and 10 controls were stained for laminin, fibronectin, and collagen IV. Cytoplasmic staining in tumour cells and peritumoral deposition of matrix proteins were evaluated. The association between staining results and patient age, tumour stage, histological grade, and survival was studied. RESULTS: Positive cytoplasmic staining for laminin, fibronectin, and collagen IV was observed in 17 (23.9%), 27 (38%), and 10 (14.1%) cases, respectively. Staining for laminin was most pronounced in the invasive front of tumour islands, while for fibronectin and collagen IV it appeared to be diffuse. Peritumoral staining for laminin and collagen IV was detected in 12 cases (16.9%). Early stage (Ia1-Ia2) tumours were uniformly negative for all three proteins. Cytoplasmic staining for laminin correlated with positive staining for fibronectin and collagen IV, and with the presence of a peritumoral deposition of collagen IV and laminin. There was no correlation with any of the three markers between staining results and patient age, stage, grade, or survival. CONCLUSIONS: Expression of extracellular matrix proteins in some cervical squamous cell carcinomas might reflect the enhanced ability of these tumours to modify the peritumoral stroma. This ability seems to be absent in early stage tumours. The correlation between intracytoplasmic and peritumoral expression of matrix proteins supports the evidence of their synthesis by tumour cells. However, this property did not correlate with disease outcome in this study.  (+info)

Screening for cervical cancer: a review of women's attitudes, knowledge, and behaviour. (4/6661)

The United Kingdom (UK) cervical screening programme has been successful in securing participation of a high proportion of targeted women, and has seen a fall in mortality rates of those suffering from cervical cancer. There remains, however, a significant proportion of unscreened women and, of women in whom an abnormality is detected, many will not attend for colposcopy. The present work reviews the psychological consequences of receiving an abnormal cervical smear result and of secondary screening and treatment, and examines reasons for women's non-participation in the screening programme. Psychological theories of screening behavior are used to elucidate women's reactions and to suggest methods of increasing participation, of improving the quality of the service, and of reducing women's anxiety. A literature search identified studies that examine factors influencing women's participation in the screening programme, their psychological reaction to the receipt of an abnormal cervical smear result, and experiences of colposcopy. Reasons for non-participation include administrative failures, unavailability of a female screener, inconvenient clinic times, lack of awareness of the test's indications and benefits, considering oneself not to be at risk of developing cervical cancer, and fear of embarrassment, pain, or the detection of cancer. The receipt of an abnormal result and referral for colposcopy cause high levels of distress owing to limited understanding of the meaning of the smear test; many women believe the test aims to detect existing cervical cancer. The quality of the cervical screening service can be enhanced by the provision of additional information, by improved quality of communication, and by consideration of women's health beliefs. This may result in increased participation in, and satisfaction with, the service.  (+info)

Analysis of TSG101 tumour susceptibility gene transcripts in cervical and endometrial cancers. (5/6661)

Carcinoma of the uterine cervix is a common malignancy among women that has been found to show loss of heterozygosity in the chromosome 11p. Recent studies have localized the TSG101 gene in this region, and also demonstrated a high frequency of abnormalities of this gene in human breast cancer. To determine the role of the TSG101 gene in the carcinogenesis of cervical and uterine carcinoma, 19 cases of cervical carcinoma and five cases of endometrial carcinoma, as well as nearby non-cancerous tissue from the same patients, and 16 blood samples from healthy persons as normal control were analysed by Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA, reverse transcription of the TSG101 mRNA followed by PCR amplification and sequencing of the products. We found that abnormal transcripts of the TSG101 gene were common both in cancerous or non-cancerous tissues of the uterus and cervix and in normal peripheral mononuclear cells. There was no genomic deletion or rearrangement in spite of the presence of abnormal transcripts, and no definite relationship between the abnormal transcripts and HPV infection was found. Although the frequency of abnormal transcripts was higher in cancerous than in non-cancerous tissue, normal peripheral mononuclear cells also had abnormal transcripts. Given these findings, the role of the TSG101 gene as a tumour-suppressor gene should be re-evaluated. Because some aberrant transcripts could be found at the first PCR reaction, we suggest that the aberrant transcripts might be the result of imperfect minor splicesome products.  (+info)

A possible involvement of aberrant expression of the FHIT gene in the carcinogenesis of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. (6/6661)

To investigate involvement of an aberrant expression of the FHIT (fragile histidine triad) gene in the process of carcinogenesis and progression in cervical carcinoma, we examined its expression by the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and cDNA sequence method in 32 cervical invasive carcinomas (25 squamous cell carcinomas and seven adeno- or adenosquamous carcinomas) and 18 of its precursor lesions [four low-grade and 14 high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CINs)]. We also examined a link between the occurrence of the aberrant expression and human papillomavirus (HPV). We detected the aberrant FHIT transcripts in 11 of 25 (44%) cervical invasive squamous cell carcinomas and in 5 of 14 (36%) high-grade CINs (CIN 2 or 3), whereas they were not found in seven non-squamous type and four low-grade CINs (CIN 1). The alteration patterns of the FHIT gene expression in high-grade CINs were virtually similar to those found in invasive carcinomas, such that the exons 5-7 were consistently deleted associated or unassociated with loss of the exon 4 and/or 8. The incidence of the aberrant expression was not related to the presence of HPV and its type. These data indicate that the aberrant expression of the FHIT gene is observed in precursor lesions of cervical carcinoma as well as invasive carcinomas, with its incidence not increasing with advance of clinical stage. Given the squamous cell type dominant expression, the aberrant expression may play a critical role in the generation of squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix, but not the consequence of the progression of the cancer.  (+info)

Modulation of the cytotoxicity of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine and methotrexate after transduction of folate receptor cDNA into human cervical carcinoma: identification of a correlation between folate receptor expression and thymidine kinase activity. (7/6661)

Cervical carcinoma is an AIDS-defining illness. The expression of folate receptors (FRs) in cervical carcinoma (HeLa-IU1) cells was modulated by stable transduction of FR cDNA encapsidated in recombinant adeno-associated virus-2 in the sense and antisense orientation (sense and antisense cells, respectively). Although sense cells proliferated slower than antisense or untransduced cells in vivo and in vitro in 2% (but not 10%) FCS, [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA was significantly increased in sense cells in 10% serum; therefore, the basis for this discrepancy was investigated. The activity of thymidine kinase (TK) was subsequently directly correlated with the extent of FR expression in single cell-derived clones of transduced cells. This elevated TK activity was not a result of recruitment of the salvage pathway based on the presence of adequate dTTP pools, normal thymidylate synthase (TS) activity, persistence of increased thymidine incorporation despite the exogenous provision of excess 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate, and documentation of adequate folates in sense cells. The increase in TK activity conferred significant biological properties to sense cells (but not antisense or untransduced cells) as demonstrated by augmented phosphorylation of 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine (AZT) and concomitantly greater sensitivity to the cytotoxic effects of AZT. Conversely, sense cells were highly resistant to methotrexate, but this was reversed by the addition of AZT. The direct correlation of FR expression and TK activity indicates a previously unrecognized consequence of FR overexpression.  (+info)

Cervicovaginal human papillomavirus infection in human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV)-positive and high-risk HIV-negative women. (8/6661)

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is associated with precancerous cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions commonly seen among women infected with human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV). We characterized HPV infection in a large cohort of HIV-positive and HIV-negative women participating in the Women's Interagency HIV Study to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for cervicovaginal HPV infection in HIV-positive women. METHODS: HIV-positive (n = 1778) and HIV-negative (n = 500) women were tested at enrollment for the presence of HPV DNA in a cervicovaginal lavage specimen. Blood samples were tested for HIV antibody status, level of CD4-positive T cells, and HIV RNA load (copies/mL). An interview detailing risk factors was conducted. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS: Compared with HIV-negative women, HIV-positive women with a CD4+ cell count of less than 200/mm3 were at the highest risk of HPV infection, regardless of HIV RNA load (odds ratio [OR] = 10.13; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 7.32-14.04), followed by women with a CD4+ count greater than 200/mm3 and an HIV RNA load greater than 20,000 copies/mL (OR = 5.78; 95% CI = 4.17-8.08) and women with a CD4+ count greater than 200/mm3 and an HIV RNA load less than 20,000 copies/mL (OR = 3.12; 95% CI = 2.36-4.12), after adjustment for other factors. Other risk factors among HIV-positive women included racial/ethnic background (African-American versus Caucasian, OR = 1.64; 95% CI = 1.19-2.28), current smoking (yes versus no; OR = 1.55; 95% CI = 1.20-1.99), and younger age (age < 30 years versus > or = 40 years; OR = 1.75; 95% CI = 1.23-2.49). CONCLUSIONS: Although the strongest risk factors of HPV infection among HIV-positive women were indicators of more advanced HIV-related disease, other factors commonly found in studies of HIV-negative women, including racial/ethnic background, current smoking, and age, were important in HIV-positive women as well.  (+info)

In this meta-analysis which included data gathered from 22 case-control studies, involving a total of 10,073 subjects, which investigated an association between vitamin or antioxidant intake (or serum level) and cervical neoplasm risk, results found that intakes of vitamin B12 (OR=0.35), vitamin C (OR=0.67), vitamin E (OR=0.56), and beta-carotene (OR=0.68) were found to be associated with a significantly reduced odds ratio of cervical neoplasm.

Since FTO was recognized as the first m6A demethylase, the understanding of its biological function has been widely expanded. However, the role of FTO in cervical cancer tumorigenesis remains unclear. In this study, we first analyzed the expression of FTO in two independent human cancer datasets and evaluated the correlation between FTO level and cervical cancer progression. Using small hairpin RNA technology, we explored the function of FTO in cervical cancer cell line Hela and SiHa cells, respectively. We then determined the FTO targets by performing transcriptional profile with FTO deficient and competent Hela cells, and finally validated these targets with ribosome profiling and functional rescue experiments. Our data suggested that FTO was frequently overexpressed in human cervical cancer tissues and highly correlated with cervical cancer progression. FTO serves as an oncogenic regulator for cervical cancer cells proliferation and migration which is vastly depended on its demethylase activity.
A previous study showed E-cadherin expression was lost in some cervical cancer cell lines and tumours. This study was designed to clarify the significance of DNA methylation in silencing E-cadherin expression. We examined promoter methylation of E-cadherin in five cervical cancer cell lines and 20 cervical cancer tissues using methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and bisulphite DNA sequencing. The correlation of E-cadherin methylation and expression together with methyltransferase (DNMT1) were further studied. We found that hypermethylation of E-cadherin was involved in five cervical cancer cell lines and 40% (8/20) of cervical cancer tissues. E-cadherin protein was lost in 6/8 (75%) samples and 3/5 (60%) cell lines with promoter methylation. E-cadherin methylation was significantly correlated with increased DNMT1. Using an antisense DNMT1 oligo to transfect into SiHa HeLa C33A cell line, E-cadherin protein was re-expressed. We concluded that loss of E-cadherin expression was in part correlated with ...

Our study aimed to provide health economic data to inform the development of the Hungarian cervical cancer prevention program. First, the national program needs to address the problem of the inefficiency of the current screening program [5, 6]. We have previously developed a health economic model to support this decision making process [7]. Furthermore, with the introduction of vaccination against cervical cancer, a new policy question was raised: whether to include the vaccination of adolescent girls in the cervical cancer prevention program. We aimed to analyze this question from a health economic perspective.. Our modeling results predicted that adding vaccination of adolescent girls with the AS04-adjuvanted human papillomavirus 16/18 vaccine to the national cervical cancer screening program would be cost-effective in Hungary. Although our results were quite robust to the uncertainty in the input parameters, larger changes in the most influential parameters could considerably change the ...

Julian Schink, MD, Chief, CTCA Division of Gynecologic Oncology, discusses recent findings that shed light on early-stage cervical cancer treatments in this Insider article.
Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor of the cervix, a part of the female reproductive tract. Recent studies have found the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to be efficient in preventing high-grade cervical lesions. However, the exact effects and efficacy of the vaccine are not known. This study aims to evaluate the association between quadrivalent HPV vaccination and the risk of invasive cervical cancer.. This study included an open population of 1,672,983 girls and women aged 10-30 years. The researchers evaluated the association between HPV vaccination and the risk of invasive cervical cancer, keeping factors like follow-up and parental characteristics in check. The primary outcome of the study was the subsequent risk of invasive cervical cancer after HPV vaccination.. The included participants were evaluated for cervical cancer until they turned 31. The findings suggested that cervical cancer was reported in 19 women who had undergone quadrivalent HPV vaccination. In comparison, 438 women ...

By Hui Xie-Zukauskas. While cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, it is, thankfully, preventable. But do you know how to prevent cervical cancer? As the saying goes, what you dont know can hurt you. Here are five important approaches to cervical cancer prevention:. 1. Enhance awareness of cervical cancer.. Misconceptions and poor awareness about cervical cancer are common. Poor awareness may result in delayed detection and treatment due to lack of knowledge and motivation, which can promote poor survivorship. During cervical cancer awareness month, find a way to raise your awareness; e.g., read more information or watch videos on cervical cancer (at the CDC website), send this e-Card to loved ones or friends, and/or participate in a public service to spread the word.. 2. Vaccinate girls and boys.. More than 95 % of cervical cancer cases are closely associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Some types of HPV are also known to cause cancers of the anus, penis, ...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to investigate benign and malignant squamous cervical cells obtained by cervical swabs with regard to differentially expressed genes and gene expression profiling, in order to evaluate the biological behavior and clinical outcome of cervical malignancies. METHODS Cervical squamous cells from six women with high-risk human papillomavirus positive [HR-HPV(+)] cervical carcinoma and from six HPV-negative women with normal ectocervical cells were analyzed by cDNA array. RESULTS cDNA over-expression of several genes such as MET (c-met), Nm23-H1 (NME1), EGFR, KGFR, Nm23-H2 (NME2), ERBB2 (c-erbB-2), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 4 (CDKN2A, p16INK4A), cytokeratin 8 (KRT8), KRAS (K-ras), FLT1, KGF (FGF7), BCL2-like 2 protein (BCL2L2), ERBB4, MYCN (N-myc), cyclin D1 (CCND1), KIT (c-kit), secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) and STAT1, was significant in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC).

Objectives. Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is a critical factor associated withcarcinogenesis of the uterine cervix. HPV-16 is most frequently found, and is further subclassified into intratypicvariants based on the nucleotide sequences of the viral genes. Although certain HPV-16 variants are reported tobe associated with the progression of cervical lesions, these relationships remain controversial with differentresults for different populations. To provide data for another population, we investigated the prevalence ofHPV-16 and distributions of its intratypic variants among Mongolian women with cervical intraepithelialneoplasia (CIN) and invasive cervical cancer. Materials and Methods. We analyzed samples from 374 randomlyselected women who attended the National Cancer Center of Mongolia between January 2002 and July 2007,including 147 invasive cervical cancer patients, 127 CIN patients and 100 age-matched controls who werecytologically normal. HPV genotyping was initially
Previous studies have described the importance of DNA methylation in human cancers. Recently, an aberrant methylation pattern was found during the multistage pathogenesis of cervical cancer with an increasing trend to methylation with increasing pathological changes (7) . Promoter hypermethylation of various genes is a frequent epigenetic event in cervical carcinoma (6 , 7 , 15) .3 Epigenetic alterations have been successfully used as indicators of neoplastic serum DNA in patients with various carcinomas (16) . To date, no studies have been undertaken to investigate the methylation status of various genes in serum samples of cervical cancer patients. Recently, we identified five genes, namely CALCA, hTERT, MYOD1, PGR, and TIMP3, as being methylated significantly more frequently in cervical cancer tissue than in normal cervical tissue.3 In our study, all of the patients with methylated serum DNA revealed the same methylation pattern in the corresponding cervical cancer tissue, except one patient ...
article{9e26cd77-e33a-4061-b74b-6dd6a644862d, abstract = {BACKGROUND: Primary cervical screening with both human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing and cytological examination of cervical cells with a Pap test (cytology) has been evaluated in randomized clinical trials. Because the vast majority of women with positive cytology are also HPV DNA positive, screening strategies that use HPV DNA testing as the primary screening test may be more effective. METHODS: We used the database from the intervention arm (n = 6,257 women) of a population-based randomized trial of double screening with cytology and HPV DNA testing to evaluate the efficacy of 11 possible cervical screening strategies that are based on HPV DNA testing alone, cytology alone, and HPV DNA testing combined with cytology among women aged 32-38 years. The main outcome measures were sensitivity for detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) within 6 months of enrollment or at colposcopy for women with a ...
Cervix cancer does not spread early. It spreads by way of the lymphatic system. Cervix cancer screening should be offered to all women over 25 years. There is limited evidence of benefit from screening in women aged over 60 years, though the likely yield of screening is low in women over age 60 since the incidence of high-grade cervical lesions declines after middle age. Cervix cancer is preceded by cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Surgery for CIN is effective at reducing the risk of subsequent invasive carcinoma.
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Vaccination and screening could nearly wipe out cervical cancer in North America in the next 20 years and rid the world of the disease within the next century, researchers say.. In a new study, the researchers assessed the potential impacts of the World Health Organizations (WHO) draft strategy for cervical cancer elimination, which calls for 90% of girls to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV) by 2030.. HPV causes most cervical cancer cases.. The WHO plan also calls for 70% of women to be screened for cervical cancer once or twice in their lifetime, and for 90% of women with precancerous lesions or cervical cancer to receive appropriate treatment.. With HPV vaccination alone, cervical cancer cases would fall 89% within a century in 78 countries hardest-hit by the disease. Thats 60 million cases of cervical cancer prevented, according to the report.. With the added tests and treatment of precancerous lesions, cervical cancer cases would fall ...
BACKGROUND Lymphatic and hematologic metastases are rare in microinvasive cervical cancers (FIGO stage IA1), supporting a role for conservative treatment. Cervical conization followed by prolonged surveillance is an accepted treatment in patients with low-risk features and negative surgical margins. This option is particularly appealing for younger or nulliparous patients, in whom fertility may be highly desired. CASE We report a case of a 22-year-old, HIV-negative female with stage IA1 squamous cell cervical carcinoma who was found to have bilateral lymph node metastases in both pelvic and para-aortic distributions after electing to undergo hysterectomy. CONCLUSION Clinicians treating patients with microinvasive cervical cancer conservatively must be aware of the possibility of lymph node involvement and should consider radiological imaging to look for metastatic disease.
TY - JOUR. T1 - Issues in cervical cancer incidence and treatment in HIV. AU - Einstein, Mark H.. AU - Phaeton, Rebecca. PY - 2010/9/1. Y1 - 2010/9/1. N2 - Purpose of review: Cervical disease burden continues to be especially high in HIV-infected women, even in the era of effective antiretroviral medications. This review discusses the multiple issues surrounding HIV-associated cervical cancer. Also, the unique treatment-related issues in HIV-associated cervical cancer are addressed. Recent findings: The incidence of invasive cervical cancer has remained stable in industrialized nations; however, it is only estimated in developing countries secondary to a relative lack of data collection and registries. Trends in HIV-associated cervical cancer have changed in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era. Recent molecular pathways suggest that the natural progression of human papillomavirus infection, the causal agent in all cervical cancers, may be related to immune system dysfunction as ...

According to the statistics for 2018, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, with 569,847 patients yearly [1]. Patients with cervical cancer who have progressed to an inoperable stage or have experienced recurrence receive widely used anti-cancer chemotherapy and platinum-based chemotherapy [2]. Cisplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapeutic agent that is widely used for the treatment of malignant tumors, such as cervical cancer, lung cancer, and ovarian cancer [3]. Cisplatin mainly induces cross-linking at the N7-position of guanosine, which modifies DNA to induce apoptosis and kill cancer cells [4]. However, the use of cisplatin as a cancer treatment has been limited owing to its serious side effects involving the kidney or hearing impairment and the emergence of resistant cancer cells [5]. In order to overcome anti-cancer drug resistance, high-dose chemotherapy with increasing dose combination therapy that combines several chemotherapy agents, and concurrent ...
Worldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women. It is much less common in the United States because of the routine use of Pap smears.. Cervical cancer starts in the cells on the surface of the cervix. There are two types of cells on the surface of the cervix, squamous and columnar. Most cervical cancers are from squamous cells.. Cervical cancer usually develops slowly. It starts as a precancerous condition called dysplasia. This condition can be detected by a Pap smear and is nearly 100% treatable. It can take years for dysplasia to develop into cervical cancer. Most women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer today have not had regular Pap smears, or they have not followed up on abnormal Pap smear results.. Almost all cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is a common virus that is spread through skin-to-skin contact and also by sexual intercourse. There are many different types (strains) of HPV. Some strains lead to cervical cancer. Other ...

Rab GTPases function as modulators in intracellular transport. Rab5a, a member of the Rab subfamily of small GTPases, is an important regulator of vesicle traffic from the plasma membrane to early endosomes. Recent findings have reported that Rab5a gene was involved in the progression of cancer. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Rab5a on cervical cancer invasion and metastasis and the molecular mechanism underlying the involvement of Rab5a. Rab5a expression was assessed by immunohistochemical analysis on a cervical cancer tissue microarray. RNA interference (RNAi) was performed to knock down the endogenous expression of Rab5a gene in HeLa and SiHa cells. Cell motility was evaluated using invasion assay and wound migration assay in vitro. The expression levels of integrin-associated molecules were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence. We found that Rab5a was expressed at a high level in cervical cancer tissues. Silencing of Rab5a expression significantly decreased cancer cell
After the discovery of the role human papilloma virus (HPV) plays in cervical cancer development we have witnessed a change in the conception and interpretation of cervical cancer prevention processes. Primary prevention gained a new tool in the form of HPV vaccines. Secondary prevention, which is cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) detection, acquired a new diagnostic method - HPV test. Studies were initiated in order to determine the usefulness of HPV tests in cervical cancer prevention and screening. They revealed that DNA HPV test used in screening has higher sensitivity in CIN detection than PAP smear and that HPV negative patients are better and longer protected against developing cervical cancer in comparison to women with normal PAP smear results. HPV tests also possess a predictive value, which detects women more susceptible to developing cervical cancer in the future. PAP smear does not have a predictive value; it only detects a presence or absence of neoplasia at this particular ...
CIN2/3 have been increased for many years and mainly concern women aged 25-29 years. They are subsequent to a persistent HPV infection and are classically treated by conization. Recurrences occur in 7 to 18 % of cases, mainly after CIN3 management during the first 2 years of follow-up. Follow-up is crucial to detect and treat recurrence and to select high risk women who might develop cervical cancer. Colposcopy and cytology have been recommended since 1989 by French ANAES, but these methods have poor sensitivity and specificity. However, DNA HPV testing is more sensitive and has demonstrated a very high negative predictive value, while specificity and positive predictive value remain average. Other HPV markers like genotyping, viral load and integration begin to be used in screening but have not been investigated in CIN2/3 follow-up to assess the values of various HPV markers which predict CIN2/3 recurrence after conization. The primary objective is to describe HPV expression (genotyping, viral ...
A non profit organization initially led by the Cervical Cancer Prevention Network (CECAP) for the Cancer Institute Foundation (CIF), Bravehearts is dedicated to raising awareness on cervical cancer prevention. Bravehearts is currently supported by a growing number of women, including prominent personalities such as Abbygale Arenas-de Leon, who is the current president of the organization, Senator Loren Legarda, Pia Magalona, Ellen Tordesillas, Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Jeena Lopez, Maimai Davao, Joyette Jopson and Suzi Entrata.. The organization has held successful seminars and projects with the help of its partner organizations and companies. One of its more prominent events is the biking event, The Tour of Hope (TTOH). The tour was introduced in the Philippines in 2008 through the collaboration of GlaxoSmithKline Philippines and the UP Cancer Institute Foundations Cervical Cancer Prevention (CECAP) network program in strategic partnership with Team Davids Salon, the first all woman sports team in ...
The abnormal readings that predict cervical cancer are called cervical dysplasia, meaning that the cells of the cervix have been altered by the presence of HPV. These readings can be either LGSIL (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions) or HGSIL (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions). The higher the grade, the more abnormal the cells, and the closer to cancer it is. However, these LGSIL and HGSIL do not mean that cancer is present, only that abnormalities are present that may lead to cancer. When a pap test shows LGSIL or HGSIL, this means that HPV is definitely present, so there is no need to do a specific HPV test. (More on abnormal Pap testing in a later blog post ...
Treatment of cervical cancer has special steps not like any cancer nowadays, as its first and most important step is cervical cancer prevention , and then treatment of non- invasive cervical cancer which is called CIN treatment , and finally invasive cervical cancer treatment.. Follow up of these cases is not less important than treatment itself.. Cervical cancer prevention. There are multiple ways to prevent cervical cancer , the most important steps are screening by pap smear in all sexually active women and follow up that screening according to the new guide lines N.B : details n cervical cancer screening , also early detection and treatment of cervical infection with follow up of it can prevent cervical cancer , having protected sexual course also minimize the rate for sexual transmitted disease and so decrease risk for human papilloma virus infection , which is the main cause lead to cancer cervix ..

Cervical cancer, with an annually increasing incidence rate, is becoming the leading cause of death among women in China. However, studies have shown that the early detection and accurate diagnosis of cervical cancer contribute to the long survival of cervical cancer patients. The machine learning method is a good substitute for manual diagnosis in the analysis of Pap smear cervical cell images, reflecting its effective and accurate classification. In the present study, a framework for cervical cancer diagnosis is presented based on a random forest (RF) classifier with ReliefF feature selection. Using preprocessing, segmentation, and feature extraction, 20 features were extracted. In the feature selection phase, 20 features were ranked according to weight using ReliefF. In the classification phase, the RF method was used as a classifier, and different dimensions of features were selected to train the classifier. To examine the efficacy of the proposed method, the Herlev data set collected at Herlev
Majority of the patients (58%) in our study were above 40 years old. Data from cancer registries in developing countries reported the same finding; 80%-90% of women with cervical cancer in the developing countries were above the age of 40 [12]. Eighty percent of women with cervical cancer in developing countries are diagnosed at advanced stages [13]. In our study, 47 patients (56.6%) presented with cervical cancer at stage III and IV, and these results were similar to other reports [14,15]. This might be attributed to the lack of screening services in our country and women tend to seek medical advice only when they have developed symptoms. In England, 23.8% of 382 women were diagnosed in stages III and IV [16] which contributes to the longer survival [17].. Many series reported pelvic failure rate of (20%-25%) and distant failure rate of (10%-25%) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy [18-22]. Our study reported local recurrence rate of 31.2%, and distant metastasis of 20.8%. The high local ...
Title:Current Evidence and Potential Mechanisms of Therapeutic Action of PEDF in Cervical Cancer Treatment. VOLUME: 15 ISSUE: 5. Author(s):J. Han and J. Guo. Affiliation:Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute of Surgery Research, Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University, 10 Changjiangzhilu, Daping, Yuzhong District, Chongqing 400042, P.R. China.. Keywords:Cervical cancer, pigment epithelium derived factor, angiogenesis, differentiation, apoptosis, immune, metastasis.. Abstract:Cervical cancer is the second leading gynecological malignancy threat to the health of women in the world. However, few improvements in the efficacy of treatments of cervical cancer have been reported for the recurrent and metastasis patterns. As an endogenous antitumor agent, pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) has attracted wide attention, and its sensitivity to estrogen suggests a special role in female tumors, including cervical cancer. This review aims to summarize recent findings, the role ...
Cervical cancer incidence and mortality have been reduced up to 80% in developed countries.1 Despite the absence of clinical trials, the relation between Pap-smear screening and reduction of cervical cancer incidence and mortality has been recognized.2. The decreased burden of disease has been attributed to screening coverage leading to increased effort for extending conventional cytology to all women worldwide. Although screening programs have been successful in developed nations, they have not fulfilled their objectives in the majority of developing countries.1,3 In Colombia, cervical cancer remains the first cause of cancer mortality and the second cause of cancer incidence among women.4. The lack of impact of conventional cytology in low and middle income countries has been linked to social and economic factors as well as deficiencies in program organization.5 Recent studies revealed that Pap-smear coverage does not correlate with trends of cervical cancer mortality in Latin America; ...

If abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix spread deeper into the cervix, or to other tissues or organs, the disease is then called cervical cancer, or invasive cervical cancer. Cervical cancer occurs most often in women younger than the age of 50. It is different from cancer that begins in other parts of the uterus and requires different treatment. Most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas.. The mortality rates for cervical cancer have declined sharply as Pap screenings have become more prevalent. According to the American Cancer Society about 12,170 cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. during 2012. Some researchers estimate that noninvasive cervical cancer (also referred to as carcinoma in situ) is nearly four times more common than invasive cervical cancer.. ...
Title:Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccines as an Option for Preventing Cervical Malignancies: (How) Effective and Safe?. VOLUME: 19 ISSUE: 8. Author(s):Lucija Tomljenovic, Jean Pierre Spinosa and Christopher A. Shaw. Affiliation:Neural Dynamics Research Group, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia, 828 W. 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1L8, Canada.. Keywords:HPV vaccines, Gardasil, Cervarix, adverse reactions, vaccine efficacy, vaccine safety, conflict of interests, clinical trials, cervical cancers, safety profile. Abstract:We carried out a systematic review of HPV vaccine pre- and post-licensure trials to assess the evidence of their effectiveness and safety. We find that HPV vaccine clinical trials design, and data interpretation of both efficacy and safety outcomes, were largely inadequate. Additionally, we note evidence of selective reporting of results from clinical trials (i.e., exclusion of vaccine efficacy figures related to study subgroups in ...
Background: The tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) represents the percentage of neoplastic cell components compared to the combined area of neoplastic cells and the surrounding tumor-induced stroma. A low TSR (predomination of stromal component) has been demonstrated to be an independent adverse prognostic factor in cancers of several organs. In cervical carcinoma patients, TSR has been evaluated in only one previous study with different histological types. The present study aimed to assess the prognostic value of TSR in early stage cervical cancer patients with adenocarcinoma histology only. Materials and Methods: Histological slides of patients with early stage (IB-IIA) cervical adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical treatment between January 2003 and December 2011 were reviewed. Patients who had received preoperative chemotherapy were excluded. TSR was categorized as low (,50%) and high (≥50%). Correlations between TSR and clinicopathological variables were evaluated. Prognostic values of TSR and ...

N2 - Patients with locally advanced cervical cancer have a poor prognosis. The efficacy of radiotherapy is limited by the presence of large tumor volume and nodal disease. As cisplatin is a documented radiosensitizer and has activity in squamous cell carcinomas, a prospective study was designed to evaluate the toxicity and potential synergism of concurrent cisplatin (20 mg/m2 × 5 d every 21 days) and radiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer. Forty-three patients were studied, of which 14 were stage IB/IIA (bulky disease) and 29 were stage IIB/IIIB/IVA. Of the 32 evaluable patients, there were 29 complete responders. Of these 29 patients, 27 remain ...
Extensive experimental and limited epidemiologic data suggest that adeno-associated viruses (AAV) can have antioncogenic activity and may be protective factors for the development of cervical cancer. To examine the association between AAV-2 IgG antibodies and cervical neoplasia in Spain and Colombia, we tested for AAV-2 antibodies using an ELISA assay for 109 women with invasive cervical cancer, 100 population-based controls age-matched to the invasive cases, 77 women with carcinoma in situ (CIN III) and 100 clinic-based controls age-matched to the CIN III cases. Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA was detected in cervical exfoliated cells by polymerase chain reaction using HPV-L1 and GP5+/6+ consensus primers. The prevalence of AAV-2 antibody titers >100 was significantly lower in invasive cervical cancer cases than control participants. When comparing women with invasive cancer with controls or with CIN III cases, a pattern of decreasing cervical cancer risk with increasing AAV-2 titers was ...
Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy in women worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer mortality globally. In patients with invasive cervical cancer prognostic factors are of value for the choice of treatment, monitoring of treatment and follow-up. The most important clinical prognostic factors are stage, tumor volume, parametrial infiltration, vascular invasion, lymph node metastases, and distant metastases. An improved estimation of the prognosis of cervical cancer is desirable, especially in early cancer stages.. The aim of this research was to study possible associations between tumor markers, female sex steroids, smoking, S-phase fraction (SPF), and prognosis in invasive squamous cell cervical cancer (SCC). The study comprised 190 patients with SCC, stages IB-IV, admitted to the Department of Gynecologic Oncology at Norrland University Hospital in Umeå between September 1984 and October1990. Ten year mortality was estimated.. In study I, of a total of 103 patients, ...
The aim of the study was to calculate the proportion of women living with HIV among women with cervical cancer. The authors found that 5.8 percent of all new cervical cancer cases worldwide in 2018 were diagnosed in women with HIV infection. This corresponds to 33,000 cases per year, 85 percent of which occur in sub-Saharan Africa.. On the basis of the results, the team was also able to show that women with HIV are six times more likely to develop cervical cancer than women without HIV infection.. The association between cervical cancer and HIV is obvious, explains Prof. Dr. Dr. Andrea S. Winkler, Co-Head of the Center for Global Health. Cervical carcinomas are mostly caused by infections with human papillomavirus (HPV), which, like HIV, are sexually transmitted. Based on our results, one could assume that infection with HIV is a risk factor for infection with HPV. . South and East Africa are hardest hit. The regions of South and East Africa are hardest hit, with 63.8 percent (South Africa) ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Adenocarcinoma of the Uterine Cervix. AU - Jerant, Anthony F. PY - 1997. Y1 - 1997. N2 - Background: Adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix is an increasingly common cervical neoplasm that has received little attention in the primary care literature. The purpose of this paper is to describe an illustrative case that provides an excellent opportunity to review the symptoms, diagnostic pitfalls, treatment options, and prognosis of this important disease. Methods: Case report is described, along with results of a literature review using MEDLINE and pertinent references from retrieved articles. Results: The relative incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma has risen from 5 to 10 percent of all cervical neoplasms in the 1950s to 10 to 20 percent in recent series. Some studies have also reported an increasing absolute incidence linked to widespread oral contraceptive use. The diethylstilbestrol-associated clear-cell variant accounts for only 2 to 3 percent of cases. About 10 percent of ...
This January, Care to Care is proud to participate in National Cervical Health Awareness Month. Cervical cancer was once one of the most common causes of cancer death for women. However, the cervical cancer death rate has gone down by more than 50% over the last 40 years, mainly due to the increased use of the Pap test for screening and early detection. This amazing screening tool can find changes in the cervix before cancer ever develops, enabling doctors to treat pre-cancerous states. Unfortunately, not all women are getting screened. In 2012, 10% of US women ages 21-65 reported they had not been screened for cervical cancer in the last 5 years. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), there will be an estimated 12,820 new cases of invasive cervical cancer diagnosed in 2017, with an estimated 4,210 deaths from the disease.. Another important fact that many may not know is that most cervical cancers are preventable! Nearly all cases of cervical cancers are caused by human papillomavirus ...
