Cervical cancer: malignant cancer of the cervix, or neck. The Court may, with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer has advanced-stage cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts with the Pap smear. In developed countries the widespread use of cervical cancer screening programs, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer by 50% or more reduced.

The cervix is the lower part of the womb (uterus). It is sometimes called the cervix. The body (upper part) of the uterus, is where a fetus grows. The cervix connects the body of the uterus, the vagina (vagina). The portion of the cervix is closest to the body of the uterus as endocervix. The next part of the vagina is the exocervix (or ectocervix). The place where these 2 parts will meet as the transformation zone. Most cervical cancers start in the transformation zone.

Over 85% of all cases of cervical squamous cell carcinomas, which are in the scaly, flat, membrane-develop cells of the cervix to. Most other cases of cervical cancer are adenocarcinomas, which develop from glands, or adenosquamous carcinomas, which develop from a combination of cell types.

Symptoms of cervical cancer

The symptoms usually do not appear until abnormal cervical cells become cancerous and invade nearby tissue. When this happens, is the most common symptom, occurring bleeding disorders, the start and stop between regular menstrual period or after sexual intercourse.

Vaginal bleeding is not normal, or a change in your menstrual cycle, that you can not explain.

Menstruation, which are longer and heavier than before. Bleeding after intercourse, douches, or a gynecological examination.

Causes of cervical cancer

Cervical cancer most often begins in thin, flat cells, which (at the bottom of the cervix squamous) cells. Squamous cell carcinoma accounts for about 80 percent of all cases of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer can also occur in the gland cells, which are at the upper part of the cervix.

Genetic material that comes from certain forms of HPV, was found in cervical tissue, cancer or precancerous lesions show changes.

Most cervical cancer is caused by a virus as human papillomavirus, or HPV. You get HPV by having sex with someone who has them. There are many types of the HPV virus. Not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Some of them cause genital warts, but other types may not cause any symptoms.

The virus is a sexually transmitted disease. There are more than 50 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in humans. Types 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., as a rule, the warts, while types cause 16, 18, 31 and 33, usually high grade cervical dysplasia (CIN 2 and CIN-3) and carcinomas.

More than 90 percent of all cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, and researchers believe that this cancer can be a sexually transmitted disease. There is considerable evidence that cervical cancer to sexually transmitted organisms are related.

Resistance to chemicals: women who can work on farms or in manufacturing, to chemicals that may increase the risk of cervical cancer will be suspended.

Women who have HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, often drugs that weaken the bodya take?? S natural immunity and their ability to fight off diseases. These women will also be monitored at an increased risk for cervical cancer and should by their gynecologists for the development of precancerous changes in the cervix.
