What Is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer begins with a narrow
opening in the uterus from the vagina
known as a cervix. This cancer is considered
as the most common cancer that develops in
the cervix of a woman. Cervical cancer
usually occurs during the midlife.
Most women who are diagnosed with this
cancer are in between 35-55 years of age.
This cancer has mostly diagnosed in around
20% of women who are older than 65.
Women who are under 20 rarely suffer from
this cancer.

Types of Cervical Cancer?
The type of cervical cancer is determined by the type of
cell where the early genetic mutation occurred. The type
also helps in determining the specic treatment for a
patient. There are two main types of cervical cancer that
include:
Ÿ Adenocarcinomas: This type takes place in the
glandular cells lining the cervical canal.
Adenocarcinomas accounts for a smaller portion of all
cervical cancers.
Ÿ Squamous Cell Carcinomas: This type starts in the
at and thin cells lining the bottom of the cervix.
Squamous cell carcinomas make up for a large
majority of cervical cancers.
Small cell carcinomas, adenosquamous carcinomas and
clear cell carcinomas are considered as the less common
types of cervical cancer.

Causes of Cervical Cancer?
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is considered as the most
common cause of cervical cancer. This virus can easily
transmit to another person by having a sexual contact
with a HPV person. HPV virus has a number of types but
not every type of HPV can cause cervical cancer. Genital
warts may be caused by them and also these different
types also do not result in any symptoms.
The immune system of the body helps in ghting many
infections. Some diseases and medications can diminish
the immune system that increases the chance of HPV
infections, thus also increasing the chances of
developing cervical cancer. Smoking is yet another cause
that increases the chance of cervical cancer.
Environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco smoking are
connected with the development of cervical cancer.

Symptoms of Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer may not show any symptoms initially.
Other health conditions can also cause some essential
symptoms of cervical cancer. Some of the symptoms
include:
Ÿ Excess vaginal discharge
Ÿ Spotting in between periods or unusual vaginal
bleeding
Ÿ Foul-smelling, watery or clear vaginal discharge
Ÿ Bleeding after intercourse or pain during sexual
intercourse
When tumors invade other body organs then it may
result in some late symptoms that include:
Ÿ Constipation
Ÿ Back or pelvic pain
Ÿ Blood in the stool
Ÿ Weight loss
Ÿ Anemia
Ÿ Urine leakage
Ÿ Shortness of breath
Ÿ Anorexia or appetite loss

Stages of Cervical Cancer?
Stage 0: Here in this stage, cervix possesses no
cancerous cells. There are some biological changes that
may cause the onset of cancer in the future, known as
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN).
Stage 1 : In the rst stage, the cervix still holds the
cancer inside.
Stage 2 : Now in this stage, the spread of cancer is there
outside the cervix in surrounding tissue or into the
upper section of the vagina.
Stage 3 : The spread of the cancer is there into the tissue
of the pelvis or into the lower section of the vagina.
Stage 4 : At this last stage, the cancer has spread to
bladder or bowel and in its advanced case to the lungs.

Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer?
A naked eye cannot see any precancerous changes of the
cervix and cervical cancer. Such conditions can be spotted by
using tools and special tests.
Ÿ Cone Biopsy procedure can be performed.
Ÿ Pap smears is also performed for precancerous and cancer.
Ÿ The cervix is examined under magnication for observing
abnormal changes and this procedure is known as
colposcopy. This procedure surgically removes the tissue
pieces which are then examined in a laboratory.
Some other tests are also ordered when cervical cancer is
diagnosed. The spread of the cancer can be easily determined
with the help of these tests. The different tests include:
Ÿ MRI of the pelvis
Ÿ Chest x-ray
Ÿ Intravenous pyelogram (IVP)
Ÿ CT scan of the pelvis
Ÿ MRI of the pelvis
Ÿ Cystoscopy

Treatment of Cervical Cancer?
Health problems and the stage of the cancer help in
determining a specic treatment for cervical cancer. Some of
the treatment options include:
Ÿ Radiation Therapy : High-powered energy is used in this
therapy for destroying cancer cells. Radiation therapy
when given internally is performed by placing devices lled
with radioactive material around the cervix. External beam
radiation is given when radiation therapy is performed
externally. These methods can also be combined together.
Chemotherapy is also sometimes combined with radiation
therapy for destroying or shrinking a tumor that is still
remaining after surgery. Menstruating may stop in
premenopausal women due to radiation therapy and may
start menopause.

Surgery : Early stages of cervical cancer are treated by
surgically removing the uterus (hysterectomy). The
uterus, cancer and cervix are removed by performing a
hysterectomy. This is a typical option when the cancer is
at its early stage and the invasion is less than 3mm inside
the cervix.
Chemotherapy : Anti-cancer drugs are used in
chemotherapy for killing cancer cells. These drugs can be
combined together or can also be used alone. The injection
of these drugs is done into a vein that travels in the entire
body and destroys all cancer cells. Radiation therapy is
often combined with low doses of chemotherapy as
chemotherapy helps in enhancing the effects of the
radiation. Advanced cervical cancer that cannot be cured
is treated by providing high doses of chemotherapy.

Benets of
Cervical Cancer Treatment
Hysterectomy, chemotherapy, chemoradiation &
radiation therapy are various treatments for cervical
cancer. Removal of ovaries, fallopian tubes & pelvic
lymph nodes relieve symptoms of cancer. It is the most
effective for early stage cervical cancers to increase life
expectancy. Chemotherapy & radiation will kill or
shrink the growth of cancer, thereby extend & improve
the overall quality of life for patients.
HPV vaccination reduces the risk of cancerous as well
as pre-cancerous changes of cervix. It is always better
to perform regular Pap tests because it shows any
changes within cells before they turn in to cancer cells.
