Management and prevention of cervical cancer.pptxAmin Badamosi
The document provides an overview of cervical cancer including:
- It is the 4th most common cancer in women worldwide and is caused by HPV infection.
- Risk factors include early sexual activity, multiple partners, smoking, and immunosuppression.
- Prevention involves HPV vaccines and screening like Pap tests or HPV tests. Abnormal results may require further tests or treatment.
- Stages of cervical cancer are described along with management approaches like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy depending on the stage. Recurrence is managed based on prior treatment and extent of disease. The goal is elimination of cervical cancer as a public health problem by 2030.
Cervical cancer is a major public health problem in India. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes nearly all cervical cancer cases, with HPV types 16 and 18 causing 70% of cancers worldwide. While screening can help reduce cervical cancer rates, coverage in India is low at only 2.6% of women. The HPV vaccine provides primary prevention against HPV infection and can significantly reduce cervical cancer burden when combined with screening programs. Both vaccination and continued screening are recommended for optimal cervical cancer prevention.
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.

This document discusses cervical cancer and its prevention through screening and HPV vaccination. It notes that cervical cancer is the most common cancer in Indian females, with 1 in 5 worldwide cases occurring in India. Regular Pap screening can detect precancerous lesions early and HPV vaccination can prevent infection from high-risk HPV types that cause most cervical cancers. The document provides details on HPV, screening guidelines, abnormal Pap results, and cervical cancer prevention recommendations.
Welcoming remarks by Dr Osborne E Nyandiva on Symposium: Cervical cancer and its prevention
Co-Presenter Dr Giama. We are happy to present to you this very crucial discussion on Cancer.
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.
Breast cancer is increasing year by year in India and we are moving towards western statistics in prevalence of disease.
I was invited by air force gandhinagar to deliver the breast cancer awareness talk to their staff.
This presentation is all about breast cancer, early signs, symptoms, prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
Fertility Preservation for Gynecologic Cancer PatientsJibran Mohsin
This document discusses fertility preservation options for young women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers. It covers cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. For early-stage cervical cancer, conization or radical trachelectomy can allow fertility preservation. For early-stage endometrial cancer, hormonal treatment with progesterone may induce remission and allow attempted pregnancy. For early-stage ovarian cancers including borderline tumors and germ cell tumors, fertility-sparing surgery such as unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy may be an option. Patient selection is crucial to balance oncologic and fertility outcomes.
This document provides guidelines for the management of endometrial cancer from several European medical societies. It covers epidemiology, risk assessment, surgery, lymph node staging, adjuvant therapy, and management of early, advanced, and recurrent disease. Key points include recommending total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for staging without vaginal cuff resection for early-stage disease. It also supports consideration of sentinel lymph node biopsy for staging in select cases and ovarian preservation in certain low-risk premenopausal patients. Molecular testing is encouraged to further stratify prognosis, especially in high-grade tumors.

- Fertility preservation is important for cancer patients of childbearing age to maintain their quality of life. Advances in cancer treatment like chemotherapy and radiation can impact fertility.
- For early stage cervical cancers like stage 1A1, 1A2, and 1B1, fertility sparing surgeries like conization or radical trachelectomy combined with lymph node dissection may be options to preserve fertility while treating the cancer.
- For early stage ovarian and endometrial cancers, fertility sparing surgeries like cystectomy or tumor resection with lymph node sampling can be considered to treat the cancer and spare fertility in select cases.
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.

Evidence Based Guide of Screening for Prevention of Cervical Cancer Lifecare Centre
This document discusses cervical cancer prevention in India. It notes that India accounts for about 23-25% of new cervical cancer cases and deaths worldwide despite having only about 16% of the world's female population. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially types 16 and 18, is responsible for nearly all cervical cancer cases. The document recommends primary prevention through HPV vaccination and secondary prevention via cervical cancer screening to detect and treat precancerous lesions. However, it notes that current cervical cancer screening coverage in India is very low at only about 2.6% of the female population, highlighting the need to scale up screening efforts.
Dr. Sowjanya Kurakula discusses various cancers that commonly affect women. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, accounting for 1 in 3 cancers. Cervical cancer remains a major cause of cancer death in developing countries where Pap screening is not available. The human papillomavirus vaccine protects against HPV, which causes cervical cancer. Screening through Pap tests and HPV testing enables early detection and treatment of cervical and other cancers. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and avoiding tobacco can help reduce cancer risks.
The presentation describes various facts about breast and cervical cancer including burden of disease, survival outcomes, need for early diagnosis and screening recommendations.
Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and develops slowly over time. Screening through regular Pap tests can detect precancerous changes in the cervix so they can be treated before cancer develops. Most cervical cancers are preventable with vaccination against HPV and appropriate screening. Screening guidelines recommend annual Pap tests beginning at age 21 and can be less frequent or stop at age 70 if previous results have been normal. Abnormal results may require further tests like colposcopy and HPV testing and possible treatment of precancerous lesions.

Primary High Risk HPV Testing with Cyctology TriagePHEScreening
1) Primary testing for high-risk HPV will replace cytology-based screening as the initial test in the NHS cervical screening program. Women who test positive for high-risk HPV will receive cytology triage, while HPV-negative women will be returned to routine recall.
2) A large trial showed primary HPV testing improved sensitivity over cytology alone. A pilot of primary HPV testing confirmed benefits and informed clinical protocols.
3) Women will receive results and follow-up management based on HPV and cytology results, with longer recall for HPV-negative women and colposcopy referral for HPV-positive women with abnormal cytology.
This document discusses the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. It begins with an overview of the epidemiology, patterns of spread, symptoms, diagnostic workup and surgical staging of the disease. It then describes the histopathological classification and various chemotherapy regimens used as adjuvant treatment, including platinum-based drugs like cisplatin and carboplatin, and taxanes like paclitaxel. The standard first-line regimen for early-stage high-risk ovarian cancer is 6 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin given every 3 weeks.
This document discusses breast cancer screening and prevention. It outlines three components of screening: genetic screening, breast screening, and cancer prevention. Breast screening involves breast self-examination (BSE), clinical breast examination (CBE) by a doctor, and mammograms, MRI, or ultrasound for high-risk patients. Mammography is recommended annually starting at age 40 or earlier for high-risk women. MRI may supplement mammography for those at high lifetime risk. Ultrasound can be used for dense breasts. Regular BSE and screening can find lumps earlier than no screening or occasional screening. Risk factors include obesity, lack of exercise, not breastfeeding, alcohol use, hormone therapy, and not having children. Prevention aims

Cervical Cancer In India: A Preventable Tragedy That Requires Urgent Attention
It is estimated that in India, about 160 million women aged 30-59 years are at risk of developing cervical cancer, with fatality rate of 50 per cent
Breast cancer screening involves various tests to detect breast cancer early in women who have no symptoms. Mammograms are currently the primary screening method, detecting cancers via calcifications or masses on x-rays. Ultrasounds can further examine masses and distinguish cysts from solid tumors. Women at average risk should begin annual mammograms at age 40-44 and continue screening every 1-2 years depending on age. Those at high risk due to family history or genes may begin screening earlier and also receive annual MRIs. Newer tests like molecular breast imaging are being studied but do not replace mammography. Screening aims to find cancer early when treatment is most effective.
Cervical cancer is caused by certain types of HPV and develops slowly over many years. Screening can detect pre-cancerous abnormalities so they can be treated before becoming invasive cancer. A multi-pronged approach is needed that includes primary prevention through vaccination and safe sex practices, screening of at-risk women, diagnostic testing, treatment of pre-cancers and cancers, palliative care, and collaboration between health sectors. Investing in cervical cancer prevention and control through early detection saves lives and costs less than treatment of late-stage disease.

This document discusses cervical cancer, including its causes, stages, diagnosis, and treatment. Cervical cancer begins with precancerous cells on the cervix that can develop from human papillomavirus infections or other risk factors like early sexual activity. It is typically diagnosed through a biopsy and staged based on how far it has spread. Treatment depends on the cancer's stage and may involve surgery, radiation therapy, or chemoradiation. Radiation therapy can have both immediate and delayed complications due to damage to nearby tissues. Screening programs and HPV vaccines can help prevent cervical cancer by finding and treating precancerous cells.
At Maharaja Agrasen Hospital Dwarka, the Department of gynecology, held an awareness camp about breast & cervical cancers. Breast and cervical cancers are two of the most prevalent forms of cancer among women worldwide. While significant progress has been made in diagnosis and treatment, these diseases remain major health concerns. Early detection and awareness are critical in the fight against breast and cervical cancer, and this article aims to provide valuable insights into these conditions, emphasizing prevention, screening, and treatment options.

This document provides an introduction to cervical cancer, including:
- Cervical cancer is a major public health problem, with over 660,000 new cases and 350,000 deaths globally each year. India accounts for 20% of new cases.
- HPV infection is the main cause, with types 16 and 18 associated with over 80% of cancers.
- Screening through Pap smear cytology, VIA, or HPV testing and vaccination can help prevent cervical cancer by identifying and treating precancerous lesions.
- Barriers to controlling cervical cancer include lack of screening infrastructure, funding, awareness, and trained healthcare workers.
This document discusses prevention of breast and cervical cancer in women. It covers leading causes of death for women, risk factors, screening methods, symptoms, and preventive measures. The key points are:
1) Heart disease, cancer, and stroke are the top three leading causes of death for women. Cancer screening and treatments have improved survival rates to 66% for people diagnosed between 1966-2002.
2) Risk factors for cancer include age, family history, lifestyle factors like smoking, and genetic conditions. Screening methods include self-exams, clinical exams, mammography, and HPV testing to detect cancers early.
3) Preventive measures include vaccinations, safe sexual practices, smoking cessation, healthy
Breast cancer screening programs aim to detect cancer early before symptoms appear. While screening guidelines vary, organizations generally recommend mammography every 1-2 years for women ages 50-69. In India, there is no organized screening program and detection usually occurs once symptoms develop. Risk factors for early-onset breast cancer include dense breasts and a family history of breast cancer. Screening women in their 40s can reduce breast cancer mortality, but also risks false positives and overdiagnosis. Genetic testing identifies mutations associated with high breast cancer risk.
The document proposes a project to screen and control breast and cervical cancer in Rajshahi District. The project aims to educate and motivate women aged 40-64 to undergo breast cancer screening via mammography and women aged 21-64 to undergo cervical cancer screening via visual inspection with acetic acid. It will establish temporary screening camps in 11 upazilas to conduct screening tests and refer positive cases for treatment. The 6-month project aims to screen 342 women and will be evaluated to assess its effectiveness and make improvements. An estimated budget of 15 lakh BDT is proposed to cover direct and indirect costs.
Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among Malaysian women. It is caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) which can be contracted through sexual activity. Risk factors include early sexual initiation, multiple partners, smoking, and a weak immune system. Symptoms may include abnormal bleeding or discharge. Screening tests like Pap smears can detect pre-cancerous changes, while exams and biopsies confirm cancer. Treatment options depend on stage and severity but may include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, with the goal of curing early-stage cancer or relieving symptoms of later-stage cancer. Regular screening and safe sexual practices can help prevent cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and is preventable through vaccination and screening. Screening via the Pap test can detect precancerous changes in the cervix so that treatment can prevent the development of cancer. Getting regular Pap tests beginning at age 21 or within three years of becoming sexually active can help prevent cervical cancer, as can vaccination against HPV.
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.
The document provides information about the International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS):
- It was founded in 1986 and has over 1500 multidisciplinary members from over 80 countries.
- Its mission is to promote women's health related to gynecologic cancers through research, treatment standards, and education.
- It publishes the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer and holds biennial conferences rotating between regions of the world.
This document discusses ovarian cancer epidemiology, pathology, staging, spread, management, and risk factors. It notes that ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecologic cancer, accounting for 10-15% of cases. Risk factors include low parity, infertility, delayed childbearing, family history, and genetic mutations. Late stage diagnosis and metastasis lead to poor prognosis. The majority are epithelial in origin. Surgical staging and debulking along with chemotherapy are standard treatment approaches.
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.
Cancer diagnosed during pregnancy presents complex management challenges due to risks to both the mother and fetus. Treatment options are limited and none are ideal. For early-stage cancers detected in the first trimester, termination may be recommended to allow standard treatment. For late-stage or aggressive cancers, delaying treatment could risk the mother's life but termination is not acceptable to all. Collaboration between medical specialists is needed to determine the safest individualized approach.
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.
Cervical cancer develops slowly from precancerous dysplasia caused by human papillomavirus infection, which can be detected by Pap smears and treated to prevent cancer progression. Risk factors include multiple sexual partners, young age of first intercourse, smoking, and family history. Stages of cervical cancer are determined by how far the cancer has spread from the cervix, and treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies.
Cervical cancer arises from the transformation zone of the cervix where squamous and glandular cells meet. It is caused most commonly by persistent infection with high-risk HPV types. Globally there are over 500,000 new cases and 250,000 deaths annually, though rates have declined in countries with widespread cervical cancer screening. Early lesions are usually asymptomatic while late stages can present with vaginal bleeding or discharge. Screening includes Pap tests and HPV testing to detect pre-cancerous lesions, which if found are typically treated to prevent progression to invasive cancer. Invasive cancers are staged surgically and may require additional chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

2. Cancer
Is the uncontrolled growth of cells and tissues
Cancer cells may invade surrounding and
distant parts of the body, destroying normal
tissues and competing for nutrients and oxygen
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
3. How does Cervical Cancer develop?
The underlying cause is infection types of human papilloma
virus (HPV), types are 16 and 18
The risk of HPV acquisition in both men and women is related
to sexual behavior
HPV causes changes in the cervical cells
Progression to cervical cancer is slow and can take even 20
years
The precancerous stage is treatable
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
4. Cancer of the cervix is rare in women under 30 years but is
most common in women of 40 and above.
Most deaths occur between 50-60 years
Left untreated, invasive cervical cancer is almost always
fatal, causing enormous pain and suffering for individual,
family and community
Who Gets Cervical Cancer?
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
5. Misconceptions Facts
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) cause
cervical cancer
IUDs are not linked to any increase in
cervical cancer
In screening, part of your body is
removed
Cervical cancer screening involves a gentle
collection of cells from the surface of the
cervix. No pieces of tissue are removed
Screening is like a vaccaine: once you
have had it, you will not get cervical
cancer
Screening in itself does not prevent cervical
cancer, but it does detect if the cervix is
normal or not. If abnormalities are detected
early and are treated, cancer is prevented
Misconceptions About Cervical Cancer
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
6. There is no point in going for cancer
screening, because it only tells a woman
that she has a fatal condition and nothing
can be done
Screening can detect abnormalities before
they become cancer. Also, if cancer itself
is detected early, it can be cured with
proper treatment.
Cervical cancer is seen in women with
poor hygiene practices.
There is no evidence that poor hygiene
causes cervical cancer
Use of tampons and herbs can cause
cancer of the cervix.
Cervical cancer is caused by a viral
infection. Smoking and having multiple
sexual partners can increase the risk, but
use of tampons and herbs has not been
shown to have any effect.
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
7. Why Cervical Cancer?
1. Second most common cancer in Women worldwide, currently
affecting over 1 million women

Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
10. Early detection
This is screening targeting the most at risk age group as well as HIV
positive women, using the most available cost effective method
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
11. Diagnosis and Treatment
Availability of treatment regimen is a prerequisite for a
successful Screening programmes
Cryotherapy and LEEP are recommended fortreatment of
pre-cancer
Invasive cancer needs to be diagnosed in time to enable
timely institution of treatment.
After treatment, follow up should always be done
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
12. Palliative care
Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of
life of patients and their families facing problems
associated with life limiting illness e.g. Cervical cancer
It entails prevention and relief of suffering by: early
identification, assessment and treatment of pain, other
physical symptoms and psychological, social and spiritual
problems.
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
13. A team approach to cervical cancer
Prevention and control
Cervical cancer control requires a multi- sectoral and
multidisciplinary effort and strong linkages and team work
between providers at all levels of Health care system
Dr. Makokha & Dr. Mark Willcox’
14. Conclusion
Cervical Cancer is a major public health concern
in Kenya due to its prevalence, morbidity and
mortality
Overt cancer is expensive to treat
Investing in cervical cancer prevention and
control saves lives, improves the quality of the
woman’s life and is cost saving to the country
Early detection saves life
