to elicit sign and symptoms of carcinoma cervix
To understand the staging of cervix.
To outline the management of carcinoma cervix.
Symptoms and Signs
irregular vaginal
bleeding

unpleasant odor.
watery vaginal discharge.
vaginal discharge tinged
with blood.
pelvic or back pain.
pain during sex.
problems urinating.
problems defecating
Invasive Carcinoma
Stage I Carcinoma strictly confined
to the cervix (extension to the corpus
should be disregarded).
 Stage Ia Preclinical carcinomas of the
cervix microscopy.
 Ia1 Lesion with ≤3 mm
invasion.
 Ia2 The upper limit of the
measurement should show a
depth of invasion of >3–5 mm
taken from the base of the
epithelium either surface or
glandular, from which it
originates, and a second
dimension, the horizontal spread,
must not exceed 7 mm. Larger
lesions should be staged as Ib.
 Stage Ib Lesions
invasive > 5 mm.
 Ib1 Lesion ≤4 cm.
 Ib2 Lesions >4 cm.
 Stage II The carcinoma extends
beyond the cervix but has not
extended onto the wall. The
carcinoma involves the vagina,
but not the lower one third.
 IIa No obvious
parametrial
involvement.
 IIb Obvious
parametrial
involvement.
 Stage III The carcinoma has
extended onto the pelvic wall.
On rectal examination, there is
no cancer-free space between
the tumor and the pelvic wall.
The tumor involves the
lower one third of the vagina.
All cases with
hydronephrosis or
nonfunctioning kidney.
 III a No extension to
the pelvic wall.
 III b Extension onto
the pelvic wall and/or
hydronephrosis or
nonfunctioning
kidney.
 Stage IV The carcinoma has
extended beyond the true pelvis
or has clinically involved the
mucosa of the bladder or
rectum. A bullous edema, as
such, does not permit a case to
be allotted to stage IV.
 Iva Spread to the
growth to adjacent
organs.
 Ivb Spread to distant
organs.
