Cervical cancer is caused by persistent infection with high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is transmitted sexually and infects the cells of the cervix, which can lead to cervical cancer over many years if the infection is not cleared by the immune system. Screening for cervical cancer using the Pap test aims to detect cellular changes in the cervix before cancer develops. Diagnosis involves tests to detect HPV infection and examine cervical tissue for cancerous or precancerous cells. Prevention strategies include the HPV vaccine to protect against infection from high-risk HPV strains and regular Pap screening to detect cellular changes early.

Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. There are two main types of cervical cancer - squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Cervical cancer is staged based on tumor size and spread. Early stage cancers are localized to the cervix but later stages mean the cancer has spread to nearby organs or distant sites. Screening with Pap tests can detect precancerous lesions early when treatment is most effective. Risk factors include multiple sexual partners, early sexual activity, smoking, family history, and HPV infection.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide. It is caused by abnormal cell growth in the cervix and can spread to other parts of the body. Human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 cause about 90% of cervical cancer cases. HPV is a common sexually transmitted virus that can lead to genital warts or cervical cancer depending on the viral type. Diagnosis of cervical cancer involves tests like the Pap test, colposcopy, and cervical biopsy to examine the cervix for abnormal or precancerous cells. Vaccines can protect against HPV types known to cause cervical cancer.
The document discusses cervical cancer, including the cervix and its functions, risk factors and causes of cervical cancer like HPV infection and smoking, symptoms like abnormal bleeding, detection methods like Pap tests and biopsies, staging to determine how far the cancer has spread, and treatment options like surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination. HPV infection is the main cause of cervical cancer, while lack of Pap tests, smoking, and a weakened immune system can increase risk. Early cancers often don't cause symptoms but abnormal bleeding is common if cancer develops. Detection relies on Pap and HPV tests with biopsies used to diagnose cancer. Treatment depends on cancer stage and may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination.
Cervical cancer occurs when abnormal cells on the cervix grow out of control. Most cervical cancer is caused by HPV, which can be contracted through sexual contact. Symptoms may include abnormal bleeding or discharge. Cervical cancer is diagnosed through a Pap test and further tests if abnormalities are found. Treatment options include hysterectomy, radiation, chemotherapy, or removal of lymph nodes and ovaries. Regular Pap tests are important for early detection and prevention.
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.
1) Cervical cancer is the third most common gynecologic cancer in the US and second most common in countries without screening programs. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main risk factor.
2) Screening guidelines recommend Pap smears begin at age 21, regardless of sexual history. Screening can stop at age 65 for women with prior normal smears.
3) Women who receive the HPV vaccine should still be screened according to standard guidelines, as vaccination does not eliminate all cancer risk.
This document provides information about cervical cancer including:
- It is caused by persistent HPV infection and is the most common cancer in women where Pap tests are unavailable.
- Risk factors include multiple sexual partners, young age of first intercourse, and smoking.
- Screening through regular Pap tests can prevent most cervical cancers by detecting pre-cancerous changes early.
- If abnormal cells are detected, a colposcopy and biopsy may be performed for diagnosis.
- Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy depending on the stage of cancer.
- Getting vaccinated against HPV and practicing safe sex can help prevent cervical cancer.
Cancer of the cervix occurs when the cells of the cervix change in a way that leads to abnormal growth and invasion of other tissues or organs of the body.

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in a woman's cervix (the entrance to the womb from the vagina).
Cancer of the cervix often has no symptoms in its early stages. If you do have symptoms, the most common is unusual vaginal bleeding, which can occur after sex, in between periods or after the menopause.
- Cervical cancer is caused by persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV). Other risk factors include early marriage, young age of first pregnancy, and multiple sexual partners.
- Screening through regular Pap tests can detect cervical cancer early when it is most treatable. The WHO recommends Pap tests every 3 years for women ages 20-65.
- Prevention efforts include the HPV vaccine, safe sex practices, and screening. Education is needed to address fear, ignorance and embarrassment surrounding cervical cancer screening.
This document discusses several types of gynecological cancers that commonly affect women, including cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancer. It provides information on risk factors, prevention methods like HPV vaccination and cancer screening, signs and symptoms, and treatment types. The three most common cancers are breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer. Cervical cancer can often be linked to HPV infection and lacks symptoms in early stages. Screening through Pap tests and HPV testing is effective for prevention and early detection.
Nearly 70,000 new cancer cases were diagnosed in Peninsular Malaysia between 2003-2005 according to a 2008 report. Cervical cancer accounted for 11.9% of these 70,000 cases. Cervical cancer is caused by abnormal cell growth on the cervix which can spread if left untreated. Pap smear tests are effective at detecting pre-cancerous cervical cell changes, allowing for early treatment before cancer develops.
This document discusses cervical cancer, including its definition, pathophysiology, risk factors, signs and symptoms, examinations, treatments, patient education, nursing diagnoses, and wellness both before and after cancer. Cervical cancer is a malignant growth located on the cervix that progresses from premalignant lesions over 10-12 years. Risk factors include early sexual activity, multiple partners, smoking, poor nutrition, and certain infections. Signs may include bleeding, discharge, pain and abnormal periods. Examinations include Pap smears, colposcopy, LEEP, cryosurgery and laser therapy to diagnose and stage the cancer.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Approximately 80% of women will acquire an HPV infection by age 50. While most HPV infections cause no symptoms and go away, some types can cause genital warts or cancer. Routine pap smears can detect abnormal cell changes early before cancer develops. If abnormal cells are found, a procedure called LEEP may be used to remove the affected cervical tissue. Preventative measures against HPV include vaccination.
LESSON PLAN on partograph related to obstetricsLakshmiRj1
This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching women about cervical cancer prevention. The plan aims to increase knowledge about cervical cancer definition, causes, symptoms, stages, diagnosis, and management. It will discuss that HPV infection is the main risk factor and screening can prevent cancer. Treatments include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy depending on cancer stage. The lesson intends to improve attitudes towards prevention through education.
This document provides information about cervical cancer, HPV, and the cervical cancer vaccine. It discusses that cervical cancer is caused by HPV infection, and regular Pap tests are important for screening. HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer and genital warts. The cervical cancer vaccine protects against the HPV types that cause most cervical cancers and genital warts. It is recommended for girls and women ages 9-26, as effectiveness decreases with increased sexual exposure prior to vaccination. The vaccine is given as a 3-dose series over 6 months, but regular Pap tests are still needed after vaccination.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. There are over 100 varieties of HPV, more than 40 of which can be transmitted sexually and can affect the genitals, mouth, or throat. While many HPV infections cause no symptoms and resolve on their own, some HPV types can cause genital warts and cancers such as cervical, anal, and throat cancers. Regular screening is important for detecting cell changes that may develop due to HPV infection. There is currently no approved test or treatment for HPV in men, but vaccination is recommended for both boys and girls to help prevent HPV infection and related health problems.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus that can cause warts or lead to cancer. There are over 100 types of HPV, with some causing common warts and others linked to cancers like cervical cancer. HPV is very common and spread through skin-to-skin contact, most often during sex. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV types can cause precancerous lesions and cancers over many years if left untreated. Diagnosis involves clinical exams, testing for HPV DNA, and biopsies. Treatment options depend on the infection but may include cryotherapy, medications, or surgery. Vaccines for HPV types 16 and 18 can prevent most cervical cancers if given before exposure to the virus.
This document provides frequently asked questions for healthcare workers about HPV and cervical cancer prevention. It discusses that HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer and can be prevented through vaccination. It recommends girls ages 9-14 receive the HPV vaccine and that women ages 30-49 be screened for cervical cancer. Abnormal screening results may indicate pre-cancerous lesions, which can be treated to prevent the development of cervical cancer if left untreated. The efforts of healthcare workers are essential to increase HPV vaccination and screening coverage to end cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is cancer of the cervix, which is the entrance to the uterus. It occurs most commonly in women over 30. HPV infection is the main cause, with smoking and having multiple sexual partners also increasing risk. Symptoms may include abnormal bleeding or discharge. Screening via Pap tests and HPV tests is important for early detection before symptoms appear, as treatment is most successful then.
Cervical Cancer is common worldwide , ranking 3rd among all malignancies for women.
Second leading cause of cancer death.
Most of these cancers stem from infection with the Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV).
Cervical cancer develops from the transformation zone of the cervix due to persistent HPV infection. Screening allows for early detection and treatment of pre-cancer to prevent progression to invasive cancer. Risk factors include early sexual activity, multiple partners, HIV/AIDS, and lack of screening. Screening tests can find pre-cancer which, if untreated, may develop into cancer over 10-20 years. Treatment options depend on stage, from simple hysterectomy for early stages to chemotherapy and radiation for late stages.
This document discusses HPV, its link to cervical cancer, and CERVAVAC, an indigenous HPV vaccine developed in India. It provides background on HPV, noting it is the most common STI and can cause several cancers including cervical cancer. It explains how HPV evades the immune system and its lifecycle in the cervix. It classifies HPV types as high-risk or low-risk and notes that high-risk HPV 16 and 18 cause over 70% of cervical cancer cases globally. It discusses cervical cancer signs, symptoms and prevention methods like education, screening via Pap tests, and vaccination. It provides an overview of CERVAVAC, India's first indigenous HPV vaccine, and its goal of being affordable and
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer affecting women worldwide. It starts in the cells of the cervix and is caused primarily by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Other risk factors include smoking, a weakened immune system, multiple pregnancies at a young age, and infections like chlamydia. Screening tests like the Pap smear and HPV test can find pre-cancerous lesions early so they can be treated before they develop into invasive cancer. Prevention strategies include HPV vaccination, routine screening, not smoking, limiting sexual partners, and using condoms.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among South African women. It develops gradually over many years from normal cervical cells to pre-cancerous lesions and eventually cancer if not detected early. Getting regular Pap smears which detect abnormal cell changes in the cervix can prevent cervical cancer, as pre-cancerous lesions can be treated early before they develop into advanced cancer. Persistent HPV infection is the primary risk factor for cervical cancer. CANSA helps make Pap smears accessible to women throughout South Africa, including via mobile health units, and provides support to cancer patients.
This document discusses cervical cancer, its causes, prevention, and screening. Some key points:
- Cervical cancer is a major problem in India, with over 200 women dying from it daily.
- HPV infection is the main cause, with types 16 and 18 responsible for over 75% of cases.
- Screening through Pap smears and HPV testing can detect pre-cancerous lesions early and prevent cervical cancer by treating these lesions.
- Other prevention methods include the HPV vaccine.
- Colposcopy is used to examine the cervix in more detail if abnormal cells are found on screening.
HPV infection causes approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases. Getting vaccinated against HPV before a person's first sexual encounter can prevent up to 90% of cervical cancers. Even vaccinated individuals still need regular cervical cancer screenings through Pap smears as 30% of cervical cancers are not HPV-related and vaccines may not be effective for everyone. All sexually active women should have annual Pap smear tests to check for abnormal or precancerous cells on the cervix so that cancer can be detected and treated early if present.

3. GETTING STARTED WITH 3rd MOST
COMMON CANCER AMONG WOMAN
Cervical cancer is a terrible disease that kills 280,000 women's
year worldwide, mostly in less developed countries in Africa Asia
& Latin America.
Which van lead of cervical cancer over time. The HVP vaccine is
based on virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs, like real human
papillomaviruses,have the same outer protein coat .unlike real
human papillomaviruses VLPs Carry no genetic material inside .
The VLP based vaccine prevents.HPV infection from triggering
cervical cancer by inducing a strong protective immune response.
Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the most common Sexually
Transmitted virus in the united states .At least 70% of sexually
active persons will be infected with genital HPV at some time in
their lives .HPV infects both men & women.
4. INFECTION IS
SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED
Any who has ever had genital
contact with another person
infected with HPV can get the
infection & can pass in to
another person. Since the virus
can be silent for many years, a
person can have genital HPV
even if years have passed since
he or she had sex.
High-risk HPV on the other
hand may trigger an infection
that leads to cervical cancer.
The majority of infections with
high-risk .HPVs clear up on
their own .same infections
persist without causing any
additional abnormal cell
changes.however,a few
infections causes by high-risk
HPV end up triggering cervical
cancer over many years.
5. The Cervix
The cervix is part of a woman’s
reproductive system. It’s in the pelvis.
The cervix is the lower, narrow part of
the uterus (womb).
The cervix is a passageway:
The cervix connects the uterus to the
vagina. During a menstrual period,
blood flows from the uterus through
the cervix into the vagina. The vagina
leads to the outside of the body.
The cervix makes mucus. During sex,
mucus helps sperm move from the
vagina through the cervix into the
uterus.
During pregnancy, the cervix is tightly
closed to help keep the baby inside the
uterus. During childbirth, the cervix
opens to allow the baby to pass
through the vagina.
6. Cancer Cells
Cancer begins in cells, the
building blocks that make up
tissues. Tissues make up the
cervix and other organs of the
body. New cells form when the
body does not need them, and old
or damaged cells do not die as
they should. The buildup of extra
cells often forms a mass of tissue
called a growth or tumor.
Growths on the cervix can be
benign (not cancer) or malignant
(cancer):
Benign growths (polyps, cysts, or
genital warts): are not harmful
don’t invade the tissues around
them
Malignant growths (cervical
cancer): may sometimes be a
threat to life
can invade nearby tissues and
organs can spread to other parts
of the body.
7. Cervical cancer begins
in cells on the surface
of the cervix. Over
time, the cervical
cancer can invade
more deeply into the
cervix and nearby
tissues.
Cervical cancer cells
can spread by
breaking away from
the cervical tumor.
They can travel
through lymph vessels
to nearby lymph
nodes. Also, cancer
cells can spread
through the blood
vessels to the lungs,
liver, or bones.
8. VIRUS PENETRATES
CERVIX
Both harmless & cancer linked
human papillomaviruses pass by
skin-to-skin contact. The high-risk
type of HPV need to penetrate
deeply in to the lining of the cervix
to establish a chronic infection. A
vaginal sore or sex. Which can
abrade the lining , may provide a
point of entry for the
pepillomaviruses.
Once inside the cervical lining, the
virus attaches to epithelial cells.
As these cells take in nutrients
and other molecules that are
normally present in their
environment , they also take in the
virus. Over 99 percent of cervical
cancer cases are linked to long-
term infections with high-risk
human papillomaviruses.
9. VIRUS UNCOATS
The HPV sits inside the
epithelial cells housed in a
protective shell made of a
viral protein called L1. After
the virus enter the cell the
virus coat is degraded,
leading to the released of the
virus genetic material in to
the cell & its nucleus. From
the nucleus, the genes of the
virus are expressed,
including two genes called
E6 and E7, which instruct
the cell to build viral
proteins called E6 and E7.
10. VIRUS DISABLES
SUPPRESSORS
Viral proteins E6 and E7. then
disable the normal activities of
the women's own suppressor
proteins that do “Damage
surveillance” in normal cells.
These proteins usually stop cell
growth when a serious level of
unrepaired genetic damage
exits. Even after suppressors
are disabled in women's
cervical cancer cells, it usually
take more then 10 year before
the affected tissue becomes
cancerous
11. VIRUS-LIKE
PARTICALS
(VLPs)
The VLPs in the HPVs
vaccine, like the real
human papillomaviruses
have the same outer L1
protein coat, but they
have no genetic material
inside. This structure
enables the vaccine to
induce a strong protective
immune response.
L1 proteins shell & hence
after creating in action
for release of genetic
material in ending E6
and E7.
12. Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that
may increase the chance of
developing a disease.
Studies have found that
infection with the virus called
HPV is the cause of almost all
cervical cancers. Most adults
have been infected with HPV
at some time in their lives, but
most infections clear up on
their own. An HPV infection
that doesn’t go away can cause
cervical cancer in some
women.
13. Symptoms
Early cervical cancers usually don’t
cause symptoms. When the cancer
grows larger, women may notice
abnormal vaginal bleeding:
Bleeding that occurs between
regular menstrual periods
Bleeding after sexual intercourse,
douching, or a pelvic exam
Menstrual periods that last longer
and are heavier than before
Bleeding after going through
menopause
Women may also notice…
Increased vaginal discharge
Pelvic pain
Pain during sex….
Cervical cancer, infections, or
other health problems may cause
these symptoms. A woman with any
of these symptoms should tell her
doctor so that problems can be
diagnosed and treated as early as
possible.
14. TYPES: ORIGIN OF
CANCER
Cervical cancer types
Squamous
Cancer of flat epithelial
cell
-80 % to 90 %
Adenocarcinomas
Cancer arising from
glandular
epithelium
-10% to 20%
Mixed
Futures both types.
15. HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS
TREATMENT
There are over 100 types of human papilloma virus (HPVs) that
infect humans of these ,more then 40 types infect the genitals
and the anus( anogenitaltract ) between men and women and
cause genital warts known as condylomata acuminate or
genital warts. A subset of HPV that infect the anogenital tract
may lead to changes in the precancerous cervical and uterine
cancer, cervical cancer.
As of June 8TH 2006 a vaccine for the human papilloma virus
has been developed. It can protect a person form the initial
infection of the HPV type 16 to 18. The vaccine also give
immunity for 90% of genital warts. These vaccine however have
no effect what so ever to patients who are already infected with
the human papilloma virus.
16. HUMAN
PAPILLOMA VIRUS
PREVENTION.
Other preventive measure in
acquiring HPV is through the
practice of safe sex specifically
with the use of condom. For
women it is best to avoid
cigarette or tobacco are
carcinogens on the risk of a
women to develop cervical
cancer especially when the
human papilloma virus is
present.
The human papilloma virus
vaccine prevents infection with
certain species of human
papilloma virus associated with
the development of cervical
cancer, genital warts and some
less common cancer.
17. THE VACCINATION:
The vaccination protects a person
from future infection by the HPV
high-risk types that can lead to
cancer. It is not a vaccine against
cancer it self but it stops. A
person receives a series of three
shots over a 6- month period ,
second shot within one month
duration from receiving first dose
of HPVs.
Health professionals inject these
virus –like particles in to muscle
tissue. Once inside, these particles
trigger a strong immune response
so the vaccinated persons body
make and stockpiles antibodies
that can recognize and attack the
L1 protein on the surface of HPV
viruses.
18. DIAGNOSIS :
The diagnosis of cervical
cancer is not easy before it
reaches an advanced stage as
there are no definite signs of
the condition. Also, signs such
as vaginal bleeding,
unexplained change in
menstrual cycle, abnormal
vaginal discharge and
discomfort during intercourse
are often confused with other
conditions.
It has been found that half
cases of cervical cancer are
diagnosed when the cancer is
confined to the cervix, and
about 35 percent are diagnosed
after the cancer has spread to
the adjacent areas or the
lymph nodes. Then about 10
percent of the cases are
diagnosed when this cancer
has spread to distant regions.
19. THE PAP TEST :
Papanicolaou (Pap) Smear is a
test used to detect cancerous cells
in the cervix early. It also helps
detect pre-cancerous conditions.
The test is usually conducted
during a pelvic exam. During a
Pap smear, a cell sample from the
cervix is taken with a small
wooden spatula or brush and
examined under the microscope.
If the results are normal, no
further evaluation is
recommended
Papanicolaou smear or Pap
smear is a screening test for
cervical cancer. It is used to detect
cancerous cells in the cervix early,
as well as to detect abnormal cells
in the cervix before they become
cancerous. The cervix is the lower
part of the womb, situated above
the vagina. It is a painless test for
most women done in a doctor’s
clinic during a pelvic exam.
20. Lab Tests:
The doctor or nurse scrapes a
sample of cells from the cervix. For
a Pap test, the lab checks the
sample for cervical cancer cells or
abnormal cells that could become
cancer later if not treated. For an
HPV test, the same sample is tested
for HPV infection. HPV can cause
cell changes and cervical cancer.
Cervical Exam:
The doctor uses a colposcope to
look at the cervix. The colposcope
combines a bright light with a
magnifying lens to make tissue
easier to see. This exam is usually
done in the doctor’s office or clinic.
Tissue Sample:
The removal of tissue to look for
cancer cells is a biopsy. Most
women have cervical tissue removed
in the doctor’s office, and usually
only local anesthesia is needed.
21. NUTRITION :
Cancer treatments may
make you tired or
uninterested in food. But
it's important to take in
enough calories to
maintain a healthy
weight. Check with a
dietitian for tips on eating
well during cancer
treatment. Staying active
is also important. Gentle
exercise can increase your
energy while reducing
nausea and stress. Check
with your doctor to find
out which activities are
appropriate for you.
Vitamin A is Associated
with lower risk as is
Vitamin B12, Vitamin C,
Vitamin E and Beta-
Caroten.
