This document discusses cervical cancer, including its incidence, risk factors, diagnosis, staging, treatment, and prognosis in Bangladesh. It notes that cervical cancer rates are high in Bangladesh due to lack of screening and various social risk factors. Diagnosis involves examination, biopsy, and imaging. Staging follows the FIGO system and considers tumor size and spread. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or combinations. Prognosis depends on stage, tumor size and type, age, lymph node involvement, and HPV status.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Being a metropolitan, the city is filled with towering building and beaches but the sad part as with almost every Indian city
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. • Incidence of cervical cancer is steadily declining in the developed
world.
• Pap smear has reduced the incidence of cervical cancer by nearly
80 percent and death by 70 percent.
• Cervical cancer is an entirely preventable disease as the
different screening, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are
effective.
• At present throughout the globe, there are nearly 1 million
women each year having cervical cancer.
• Cancer cervix is the most common cancer in women of the
developing countries where screening facilities are inadequate.
3.
4. • According to the GLOBOCAN 2020 database, the crude incidence and
mortality rate estimates for cervical cancer in Bangladesh are 10.2
and 6.1 per 100 000, respectively.
• Bangladesh has a high burden of cervical cancer due to
1. the lack of screening,
2. high prevalence of risk factors like early marriage,
3. early initiation of sexual activity,
4. multiparity,
5. sexually transmitted diseases (STDs),
6. low socio-economic condition.
5. • Gross Pathology: The site of the lesion is predominantly in the
ectocervix (80%) and the rest (20%) are in the endocervix.
• Naked Eye
1. exophytic: These arise from the ectocervix and form friable masses
almost filling up the upper vagina in late cases.
Exophytic type of cervical squamous cell
carcinoma—radical hysterectomy done
6. • Naked Eye (Gross Pathology)
2. Ulcerative: The lesion excavates the cervix and often involves the
vaginal fornices.
Ulcerative type of cervical malignancy
with a friable growth on the posterior
lip. Radical hysterectomy done.
Uterine arteries are ligated at origin.
7. • Naked Eye (Gross Pathology)
3. Infiltrative: These are found in endocervical growth. They cause
expansion of the cervix, so that it becomes barrel-shaped.
8. Histopathology
• The commonest variety is squamous cell carcinoma (85-90%) either
well-differentiated or moderately or poorly differentiated.
• These arise from the ectocervix.
• The sources of the squamous epithelium which turn into malignancy
are—squamocolumnar junction, squamous metaplasia of the
columnar epithelium.
9. • Squamous cell carcinoma is further subdivided histologically into
three groups:
(i) large cell keratinizing,
(ii) large cell non-keratinizing,
(iii) small cell type.
• Patients with small cell type have got poor prognosis compared to
the large cell types.
10. • Adenocarcinoma (10–15%) develops from the endocervical canal,
either from the lining epithelium or from the glands.
11. • Currently increased number of cervical adenocarcinomas are observed
specially in the younger age group.
• The majority (80%) of them are purely endocervical type. The remainders
are endometrioid, clear cell, adenosquamous or a mixed type.
• Adenoma-malignum is an extremely well-differentiated adenocarcinoma
with favorable prognosis.

cell type).

14. • Mode of spread
1. Direct extension: The growth spreads directly to the adjacent structures, to
the vagina and to the body of the uterus. It extends laterally to the
parametrium, paracervical and paravaginal tissues. It may spread backwards
along the uterosacral ligament, to involve the rectum or forwards to involve
the base of the bladder, specially in endocervical growth.
2. Lymphatic:
The primary group involved are — parametrial nodes, internal iliac nodes,
obturator, external iliac nodes and sacral nodes.
The secondary nodes involved are — common iliac group, the inguinal
nodes and paraaortic nodes.
# Sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the first node that drains a primary tumor.
In most cases (85%) there is a single sentinel lymph node.
This node can be detected by intraoperative lymphatic
mapping injecting methylene blue dye into the tumor or lymphoscintigraphy
using technetium.
15. • Mode of spread
3. Hematogenous: Blood borne metastasis is late and usually by veins
rather than the arteries.
Lungs, liver or bone are usually involved.
4. Direct implantation: Direct implantation of the cancer cells at operation
on the vault of the vagina or abdominal or perineal wound is very rare.
24. • Staging of cervical cancer is based principally on clinical
examination.
• Pelvic examination (speculum, bimanual and rectal examination)
should be done under anesthesia.
• The routine supplementary investigations include X-ray chest,
intravenous pyelography, cystoscopy and proctoscopy.
• In cases of suspected pelvic inflammation, a course of antibiotic
should be given prior to clinical staging.
• Final staging cannot be changed once therapy has begun.
• If any doubt exists as to which stage should be assigned, the lower
stage should be chosen.
25. • CT scan, MRI, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Lymphangiography
can detect involvement of the pelvic or periaortic lymph nodes and
parametrium.
• MRI is helpful to detect parametrial extension and to define the tumor
volume.
• But these findings do not change FIGO stage of disease.
26. • Surgical staging of cancer cervix:
• There are often discrepancies between clinical staging and
surgicopathological findings.
• Surgical staging can minimize this by identifying the occult tumor
spread and also the extra pelvic disease.
• Assessment of the pelvic and paraaortic nodes are done by surgical
approach. This is done either by extraperitoneal approach or by
laparoscopy.
31. Preventive
• Primary Prevention
1. Identifying ‘high-risk’ female
2. Identifying ‘high-risk’ males
3. Prophylactic HPV vaccine
4. Use of condom
5. Removal of cervix during hysterectomy
• Secondary prevention
It involves identifying and treating the disease earlier in the more
treatable stage.
32. Treatment Modalities of carcinoma cervix
• Primary surgery
• Primary radiotherapy
• Chemotherapy
• Combination therapy

38. Prognosis
• The prognosis depends on the following:
• ▌ Stage of the lesion at the initial therapy is the most important factor in
the outcome of the treatment.
• ▌ Endocervical tumor is diagnosed late and grows faster.
• ▌ Depth of tumor invasion when <1 cm, less lymph nodes are involved and
improved survival is observed.
• ▌ Tumor size more than 4 cm is associated with more lymph node
metastasis and poor survival.
39. Prognosis
• The prognosis depends on the following:
• ▌ Well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma grows slowly and
metastases late than the anaplastic type.
• ▌ Young age is usually associated with poorly differentiated squamous cell
carcinoma or adenocarcinoma and is prognostically poor.
• ▌ Lymph node involvement (pelvic and paraaortic) reduces the survival
rate by 50 percent.
• ▌ HPV positive younger patients have better prognosis.
