The cervix is a part of the uterus which is also the womb. According to cervical cancer article there may not be any symptoms for early cervical cancer. The symptoms that may occur include abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause, any bleeding after menopause, continuous vaginal discharge, which may be pale, watery, pink, brown, bloody, or foul-smelling, and periods become heavier and last longer than usual ("cervical cancer"). The Viruses that don’t go away are the ones that have a high risk for Cervical Cancer. Treatments for cervical cancer depends upon many factors which are the stage of the cancer, the size and shape of the tumor, the woman’s age and general health and her desire to have children in the future.
• Unexplained weight loss. Doctors are not clear what causes colon cancer, but are aware that polyps and an inherited gene mutation are possible precursors to colon cancer. The inherited gene mutations that increase the risk of colon cancer are: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). FAP is a rare disorder that causes you to develop thousands of polyps in the lining of your colon and rectum. People with untreated FAP have a greatly increased risk of developing colon cancer before age 40.
Cancer can be a fast developing disease, it is also extremely fatal if not diagnosed in time and not treated properly. Nowadays in Hong Kong the majority of the population can receive an accurate screening and effective treatment in local hospital. In Hong Kong, the Hospital Authority (from here on known as HA) hospitals offers a full set of diagnostic tests/screening and treatments. Nasopharyngeal Cancer is the most common cancer in Hong Kong, the diagnosis and the treatment of this cancer and other common cancers will be offered in stages. First of all the diagnosis, thanks to many research projects, we now have a very accurate cancer marker for the detection of Nasopharyngeal Cancer.
Sexual exposure to the sexually transmitted infection HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is one of the most common causes of cervical cancer. HPV is a virus from the papillomavirus family that effects the human skin and the moist membranes that line the body. There are more than 100 types, 40 of which can affect the genital area. It is also one of the most commonly sexually transmitted infections today. A person with a low education level or someone who began having sexual intercourse at an early age is more likely to contract HPV.
There are approximately 100 strains of HPV (human papillloma virus). HPV is a very common sexually transmitted disease (STD). HPV can cause genital warts and others and if it is persistent this may lead to cervical cancer. There is no cure for human papillloma virus. There are two vaccines (Gardisil and Cervaix) that are given to year 8 girls to prevent HPV.
Some claims against: -Genital HPV infections are primarily transmitted by sexual contact, especially penetrative intercourse. - HPV incidence increases with age, as more members of a population initiate sexual activity -HPV-associated diseases include cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile and anal precancers and cancers, and a subset of head and neck precancers and cancers; anogenital warts; and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. -Cervical cancer is the most common HPV-related malignancy worldwide. -Globally, cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women. - Anogenital warts are common among sexually active persons.
Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies (American Cancer Society, 2012). The majority of patients will need a combination of the above therapies to treat their lung cancer. The largest and number one risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. In men, 90% of deaths are related to smoking and 80% of the deaths in women. Lung cancer prevention methods are focused on smoking prevention, cessation and avoiding second hand smoke (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012).
Cervical cancer is the easiest female cancer to prevent, with regular screening tests and follow-up. Two screening tests can help prevent cervical cancer or find it early— 1. The Pap test (or Pap smear) looks for precancers, cell changes on the cervix that might become cervical cancer if they are not treated appropriately. 2. The HPV test looks for the virus (human papillomavirus) that can cause these cell changes.
It appears as a firm, red nodule, or a flat lesion with a scaly, crusted surface. There is many ways to treat a Basal cell carcinoma with a good chance of success of 90% or more. The doctor’s main goal is to remove or destroy the cancer completely with as small a scar as possible. The doctor considers location, size, risk of scarring, and the person’s age, general health, and medical history. In conclusion I did my research paper on skin cancer.
Smoking can also damage your baby's lungs. Women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have: •An ectopic pregnancy •Vaginal bleeding •Placental abruption (placenta peels away, partially or almost completely, from the uterine wall before delivery) •Placenta previa (a low-lying placenta that covers part or all of the opening of the uterus) •A stillbirth Babies born to women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to be born: •With birth defects such as cleft lip or palate •Prematurely •At low birthweight •Underweight for the number of weeks of pregnancy Babies born prematurely and at low birthweight are at risk of other serious health problems, including lifelong disabilities (such as cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and learning problems), and in some cases, death. Secondhand smoke Breathing in someone else's smoke is also harmful. Secondhand smoke during pregnancy can cause a baby to be born at low birthweight. Secondhand smoke is also dangerous to young children.
