Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in India and is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Risk factors include having multiple sexual partners, young age of first sexual activity, and weakened immunity. Symptoms may include abnormal bleeding or discharge, but often do not appear until later stages. Diagnosis involves tests like Pap smear, biopsy, and colposcopy. Early detection through regular Pap tests can find precancerous cells before they develop into cancer. Treatment options depend on the stage, and may include LEEP, cryosurgery, hysterectomy, or simply removing the affected area. An HPV vaccine provides protection if received before first sexual activity.
Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is caused by persistent HPV infection and develops from normal cervical cells turning precancerous and then cancerous, mainly in the area where the cervix meets the womb. It is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide with over 500,000 new cases in 2012. The majority of cases and deaths occur in less developed regions, with sub-Saharan Africa having the highest rates. Risk factors include HPV infection, low screening, smoking, HIV/AIDS, young age of first sexual activity, and many sexual partners. Prevention includes vaccination against HPV, screening programs for early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions, and lifestyle behaviors to reduce risk of HPV exposure and persistence.

Screening c cervix slideshare 2015 (1)
Screening for premalignant cervical lesions in Egypt is important given the high incidence of cervical cancer. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is recommended for screening in developing countries due to its low cost, simplicity, and ability to provide immediate results and treatment. Mansoura University experience found VIA to be a sensitive screening method, detecting cervical lesions. While a positive VIA does not always indicate cancer, it allows for low-cost screening and identification of suspicious lesions requiring further evaluation or treatment.

Frequently Held Myths Debunked About Breast Cancer
Myths And Facts About Breast Cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world, with around 2.26 million new cases diagnosed each year. With around 0.7 million fatalities per year worldwide, it is one of the major causes of death among female cancer patients. It is quite common in those aged 25 to 70, with peak prevalence in women aged 50 to 69.
Breast cancer occurs when a pre-cancerous tumour progresses to a malignant tumour in a multi-stage process that is triggered by abnormal and uncontrolled growth of normal cells. These abnormalities are brought on by physical carcinogens (ultraviolet and ionising radiation), chemical carcinogens (alcohol, aflatoxin, tobacco smoke), and biological carcinogens (viral infections, bacteria, or parasites). Breast cancer risk is also increased by genetic factors. 5 to 10% of breast cancer instances are caused by genetic abnormalities passed down through a family’s generations.
Epidemiology of breast cancer 2014 ap
This document summarizes epidemiological data on breast cancer incidence and mortality rates globally and in various countries and populations. It finds that breast cancer incidence is highest in more developed countries and among white women in the US. Known risk factors include reproductive factors like early menarche, nulliparity, late age at first birth, and lack of breastfeeding; exogenous hormones from oral contraceptives and post-menopausal hormones; family history and genetic factors; and certain medical factors.
Epidemiology of breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. It occurs mostly in women over 50 years old, and white women are slightly more likely to develop it than black or Asian women. However, black women tend to be diagnosed at a younger age and with more advanced disease. Incidence and mortality rates vary globally, with higher rates in North America and parts of Europe. In 2020, there were over 2 million new cases of breast cancer diagnosed and nearly 700,000 deaths worldwide, making it the leading cause of cancer death in women. Prevention strategies focus on early detection through screening and risk reduction behaviors.

Risk Factors of Breast Cancer
This document summarizes risk factors for breast cancer. It discusses both endogenous (internal) factors like age, family history and genetics, as well as exogenous (external) factors like hormone therapy, weight, diet and environmental exposures. Endogenous factors that increase risk include older age, positive family history, genetic mutations, earlier age of menarche or later age of menopause. Exogenous risks include long term hormone therapy, obesity, alcohol consumption, and exposure to ionizing radiation. Maintaining a healthy weight and physical activity are recommended for primary prevention, along with a plant-based diet and limiting alcohol intake.

Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast and can spread to other parts of the body. There are several types of breast cancer including ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, inflammatory breast cancer, and metastatic breast cancer. While the exact causes are unknown, risk factors include gender, age, genetics, family history, personal history, menstrual periods, pregnancy history, and breastfeeding. Signs and symptoms include a lump or thickening in the breast. Investigations include mammography, ultrasound, and biopsy. Treatment involves surgery to remove the tumor, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. Prevention strategies incorporate lifestyle factors and screening includes clinical breast exams and mammograms.
Breast cancer risk factors and prevention
