Cervical Cancer Can Be Prevented.

Cervical cancer treatment is based on the results obtained by a diagnosis and the individual wishes of the patient. 

Cancer of the cervix (cervical cancer) is a cancer that begins in the cervix. A common cause of the disease is an infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is sexually transmitted. Thus, one way of prevention is to receive HPV vaccines capable of protecting against this type of viruses.

Cervical Cancer Symptoms

Cervical cancer at its early stages is characterized by asymptomatic(lack of ) clinical signs.
As the disease processes becomes progressive, signs and symptoms of cervical cancer starts manifesting as listed below:

• Profuse vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor, in some
• cases accompanied by bloody impurity
• Vaginal bleeding after intercourse or arising after the cessation of menses (after menopause)
• Discomfort in the pelvic area
• Appearance of an unpleasant and painful sensations during coitus

A victim should make an appointment with a reproductive Health specialist (gynecologist) if one or all of the symptoms mentioned above are present

Cervical Cancer Diagnosis 

Early detection of cervical cancer has a positive result on the success of the therapy.
Doctors believe that the study of cervical cancer and precancerous changes should begin with a Pap test.During the procedure, smear is extracted from the cervix for further examination under a microscope for the presence of abnormal cells and dysplasia.
DNA testing for HPV is used as a follow-up to abnormal changes traced with a Pap smear.
The DNA test shows the carrier types of HPV that can cause the development of cervical cancer.
If clinical signs and the presence of abnormal cells in the course of screening is appointed, additional checks are required for an accurate diagnosis.

Cervical cancer diagnosis includes:

• Colposcopy. During colposcopy doctors examines the vagina and cervix with an optical device. If needed, during the procedure a biopsy is conducted.
• Cervical conization. The doctor removes a small cone-shaped portion of the mucosa for a subsequent histological examination and a detection of precancerous or cancerous changes.
• On detecting cervical cancer, the patient goes under further diagnostic tests to determine the stage of cancer , such as: X-ray, CT and MRI.
• Additional tests may be required such as cystoscopy and proctoscopy.

Methods of Cervical Cancer Treatment

The plan of treatment of cervical cancer is based on the stage of the cancer, the presence of chronic diseases in the client and her choice. Treatment of cervical cancer is complex often involving three triage,usually includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
A radical method of treatment of this disease is surgery during which a full or partial excision of the uterus (hysterectomy) is undertaken.
The application of hysterectomy in the first stages of the development of cervical cancer is  highly reliable therapy, capable of preventing the recurrence of the disease.

Cervical Cancer Radiation therapy (radiotherapy)

Radiotheratherapy cancer by ionizing radiation through high beams aimed at destruction of the cancerous cells. Internal radiotherapy (brachytherapy) is carried out by placing the device sending radio waves near the cervix.
Sometimes both methods are used at the same time. Radiotherapy may be administered either alone or together with a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen served to reduce the size of the pathological tumor before or after surgery, to destroy the remaining abnormal cells. After radiotherapy patients may develop premature menopause.

Cervical Cancer Chemotherapy

For effective treatment, different combinations of chemotherapy drugs (cytostatic) are usually given intravenously. These types of drugs are capable of destroying and slowing the growth of abnormal cells.
According to the modern treatment regimen, chemotherapy is often combined with radiotherapy; this approach has proven itself as highly efficient.
Some side effects of chemotherapy drugs may be developed by patients are like infertility and early menopause.
Cervical Cancer treatment centres creates ideal conditions for the diagnosis and treatment of all cervical cancer disease and be able to boast successful recovery rates due to presence of professional oncologists working in a modern environment.
