Irish Cervical Screening Programme New free smear test programme for women in the Mid Western Health Board Ireland area to prevent cervical cancer. http://www.icsp.ie
Extractions: This is the current information for Phase 1 of the Irish Cervical Screening Programme, which was officially launched on the 16th of October 2000 by Junior Minister Dr. Tom Moffatt.The Programme invites women aged 25-60 years in the Mid-Western Health Board area to Register with the Cervical Screening Programme. The Programme Office aims to ensure that women on the Register will be invited by letter to attend for a free smear test at least every five years. Cervical Screening is a worthwhile preventative health measure. Smear tests detect early changes in the neck of the womb; the earlier a change is found the easier it is to treat.

At this late stage, there is little they can do to save women's lives. Even drugs designed to ease cancer pain often are unavailable. Yet cervical cancer can be readily prevented, even in women at high risk for the disease, through screening and treatment using relatively simple technologies. When precancerous changes in cervical tissue are found and the abnormal tissue successfully treated, a woman will not develop cancer. In 1999, with generous support from the , five international agencies launched a major new effort to prevent cervical cancer worldwide. This group of organizations, the Alliance for Cervical Cancer Prevention , is working to clarify, promote, and implement strategies for preventing cervical cancer in developing countries.

Extractions: Overview Cervical cancer develops in the lining of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus (womb) that enters the vagina (birth canal). This condition usually develops over time. Normal cervical cells may gradually undergo changes to become precancerous and then cancerous. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN ) is the term used to describe these abnormal changes. CIN is classified according to the degree of cell abnormality. Low-grade CIN indicates a minimal change in the cells and high-grade CIN indicates a greater degree of abnormality. CIN may progress to squamous intraepithelial lesion ( SIL ; condition that precedes cervical cancer) or to carcinoma in situ (cancer that does not extend beyond the epithelial membrane). SIL is also classified as low-grade or high-grade. High-grade SIL and carcinoma in situ may progress to

Extractions: Recurrent Cervical Cancer Note: Separate PDQ summaries on Screening for Cervical Cancer and Prevention of Cervical Cancer are also available. The prognosis for patients with cervical cancer is markedly affected by the extent of disease at the time of diagnosis. Because a vast majority (greater than 90%) of these cases can and should be detected early through the use of the Pap smear, [ ] the current death rate is far higher than it should be and reflects that, even today, Pap smears are not done on approximately one third of eligible women. Among the major factors that influence prognosis are stage, volume and grade of tumor, histologic type, lymphatic spread, and vascular invasion. In a large surgicopathologic staging study of patients with clinical stage IB disease reported by the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG), the factors that predicted most prominently for lymph node metastases and a decrease in disease-free survival were capillary-lymphatic space involvement by tumor, increasing tumor size, and increasing depth of stromal invasion with the latter being most important and reproducible. [ ] In a study of 1,028 patients treated with radical surgery, survival rates correlated more consistently with tumor volume (as determined by precise volumetry of the tumor) than clinical or histologic stage.

A flurry of highly publicized research findings on the risks of cervical cancer and on revised Pap smear guidelines are raising questions among callers to leading health hotlines. "Consumers have been hearing about new tests for cervical cancer detection and also about new risk factors for cervical cancer," says William C. Parra, MS, Interim President and CEO of the American Social Health Association (ASHA). "Theyre calling our hotlines to get clearer communication about what these findings mean in real terms." According to J. Thomas Cox, MD, Executive Medical Director of ASHAs HPV and Cervical Cancer Prevention Resource Center, much of the confusion about cervical cancer stems from the fact that researchers have identified a sexually transmitted virus as its primary cause.
