Cervical Cancer

Cervical Cancer is almost 100% curable when it is caught early and treated. Since the 1940 when the Pap test was introduced death rates have gone down 75%. About 13,500 woman are diagnosed with a type of cervical cancer and as many as 4,500 will die from it. Cervical cancer is not a common cancer among woman with the most common being Brest cancer. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is not cancer it is the first cell growth. A Pap test will show the growth of abnormal cells. Noninvasive Carcinoma is a very early form of cancer. It is only of the top layer of the cervix if not treated it can turn into the more invasive form. Invasive Cervical Cancer at this stage the cancer has gone to the deeper layers of the cervix and past the cervix and into neighboring tissue and organs. Somethings that could increase your risk is smoking, early sexual active, STD's, age and race. Treating cervical cancer can involve cervical dysplasia but conization or hysterectomy are the most likely. Radiation therapy, which destroys the ability of cells to grow and divide, can be used alone or in combination with surgery to treat large tumors and cancers that have grown beyond the cervix. But not all cervical cancer responds to radiation. When classing cancer there is 5 stages. So when talking about cervical cancer the best way to pervent it is to get regular check ups. And if you ever do get it and have been getting check ups hopefully they will check it early enught so that treatment can happen before it gets bad.
