DEFINITION
Cervical cancer is a malignant
tumour deriving from cells of the
"cervix uteri", which is the lower
part of uterus.
Begins in the lining of the cervix
Cells change from normal to pre-
cancer (dysplasia) and then to
cancer

Cervix
Lower part of the uterus
Connects the body of the uterus to the vagina

Cervical Cancer- incidence
Affects 16/ 100000 women
14-24% of all female cancer

CAUSES
Human papilloma virusInfection with the common human papillomavirus (HPV) is a cause of approximately 90% of all cervical cancers. About half of the sexually transmitted HPVs are associated with cervical cancer.

Sexual HistoryA woman has a higher-than-
average risk of developing cervical cancer if she:
Has had multiple sexual partnersBegan having sexual relations
before the age of 18Has a partner who has had
sexual contact with a woman with cervical cancer

RISK FACTORS
HIV infectionChlamydia infectionLow socioeconomic status SmokingSeveral pregnanciesGiving birth at a very young ageLong-term use of the
contraceptive pillFamily history

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS
Intermenstrual Bleeding
Bleeding after sexual intercourse or a pelvic
exam
longer and are heavier menstrual periods
Bleeding after menopause
Increased vaginal discharge: offensive
Pelvic pain, back pain and leg pain
Bladder symptoms: frequency, dysuria,
haematuria, fistula
Rectal symptoms: diarrhoea, bleeding, fistula

Diagnosis
PAP SMEAR
HPV DNA test
COLPOSCOPY
CERVICAL BIOPSY
CYSTOSCOPY, CHEST X RAY, IVP,
PROCTOSCOPY (for staging)
CT scan
MRI

PAP SMEAR
Routine screening for cervical abnormalities
![Page 11: Cervical cancer is a malignant tumour deriving from cells of the "cervix uteri", which is the lower part of uterus. Begins in the lining of the cervix](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d985503460f94a822cc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Like the Pap test, the HPV DNA test involves collecting cells from the cervix for lab testing.

COLPOSCOPY
A visual examination of the surface of the cervix using
a colposcope- an instrument with
magnifying lenses and a light.
If abnormalities are seen, a tissue sample (biopsy) may be taken and sent for evaluation.

STAGES OF CERVICAL CANCER
Stage 0: cancer insitu Stage I. Cancer is confined to the cervix. Stage II. Cancer at this stage includes the
cervix and uterus, but hasn't spread to the pelvic wall or the lower portion of the vagina.
Stage III. Cancer at this stage has moved beyond the cervix and uterus to the pelvic wall or the lower portion of the vagina.
Stage IV. At this stage, cancer has spread to nearby organs, such as the bladder or rectum, or it has spread to other areas of the body, such as the lungs, liver or bones.

MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the use of chemicals
(medication) to destroy cancer cells. Cytotoxic
medication prevents cancer cells from dividing
and growing (Cisplatin)
Radiotherapy
For patients with advanced cervical cancer
radiation combined cisplatin-based
chemotherapy is the most effective treatment

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
Laser surgery - a narrow beam of
intense light destroys cancerous and
precancerous cells.
LEEP (loop electrical excision
procedure) - a wire loop which has an
electric current cuts through tissue
removing cells from the mouth of the
cervix.

Cryosurgery

Hysterectomy
Simple hysterectomy
Removal of the body of the uterus
and cervix.
Radical hysterectomy and pelvic
lymph node dissection
Removal of entire uterus,
surrounding tissue, upper part of the
vagina, and lymph nodes

PREVENTION
HPV vaccine Safe sex Cervical screening: pap smear
Have few sexual partners Delay first sexual intercourse
Don't smoke
