Cervical cancer is a disease where cancer cells are found in the cervix, the narrow section of the uterus (womb) that leads to the vagina (birth canal). Cervical cancer is seen more frequently among women who have had sex at an early age, multiple sex partners, who have contracted sexually transmitted disease , or who smoke . It tends to occur when women are in their 40's and 50's.

Extractions: Cervical cancer screening rates improved dramatically in 2000, increasing more than 6% to 78.1%. This represents one of the largest increases in the national average of a mature HEDIS measure ever observed. C What we measure and why The HEDIS Cervical Cancer Screening measure estimates the percentage of women age 21 - 64 who were enrolled in a health plan and who had one Papanicolau (Pap) test during measurement year or the two years prior. This is an important measure because: Half of all women newly diagnosed with cervical cancer have not had a Pap test in the past five years. The cervical cancer rate for all U.S. women is about 8/100,000, with the highest age-adjusted incidence rate in Vietnamese-American women (43/100,000). Rates of 15/100,000 or higher occur among Alaska natives, Korean-American, and Hispanic women. Poor women may be less likely to have ever received a Pap test. It is important to continue to screen women as they get older, because the incidence of cervical cancer increases with age. (However, screening women with a history of negative results after age 65 is not recommended.) 15% of women with cervical cancer develop it before the age of 30. Women with risk factors for cervical cancer between the ages 30 and 40 can develop carcinoma in situ if they do not have regular gynecologic examinations. Untested women between the ages of 40 and 50 are at risk for developing invasive cancer.

Extractions: The best test to detect the earliest stages of cervical cancer is extremely effective. The pap test or the pap smear is still the gold standard. It involves taking a swab of cell samples from the cervix and testing them for precancerous changes that might signal the early development of cancer. If cervical cancer is caught early, it can be treated very successfully in most cases. The importance of screening is highlighted by the statistics. Cervical cancer kills more than 4,000 women in the U.S. each year. And 13,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. Of those newly-diagnosed women, 50 percent have never had a pap test, and another 10 percent haven't had a pap test within five years of their diagnosis.

Extractions: Worldwide, cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women, and almost 300,000 women in developing countries are diagnosed with this disease each year. However, many of these cases could have been avoided if women had access to screening and treatment programs. In most cases precancerous lesions go undetected simply because women do not have access to screening tests such as Pap smears. To address this problem, JHPIEGO began exploring the feasibility of several low-cost alternatives to Pap smears, including unmagnified (naked eye) visual inspection of the cervix using a dilute solution of acetic acid (VIA), that could be implemented in low-resource settings. With the mounting evidence establishing VIA as a low-cost alternative to Pap smears, JHPIEGO is working to link VIA testing with treatment to reduce morbidity and mortality due to cervical cancer.

The task force strongly recommended that sexually active women with an intact cervix be screened regularly for cervical cancer until they reach age 65. Women older than 65 with a history of normal Pap results and who are not otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer may safely discontinue regular screening or may be screened less frequently, said the task force.

Extractions: Cervical Cancer More info on this condition Introduction After breast cancer, cancer of the cervix follows with colon cancer as the second most common cancers among women worldwide. Cervical cancer is characterized by malignant cells found in the tissues of the passage that connects the uterus to the vagina, which is called the cervix. Cancer that has penetrated beneath the surface of the cervix is called invasive. The United States alone will see 12,800 new cases of invasive cervical cancer diagnosed in 2000. Worldwide, this number reaches 400,000, with the highest number of victims being in the economically disadvantaged populations of both developing and industrialized countries. Noninvasive cancer is four times more common than invasive cancer. In 2000, about 4,600 U.S. women are expected to die from cervical cancer. Cervical cancer generally has a slow and gradual onset. During the pre-cancerous stage, called dysplasia, tissues in the cervix begin to change. Abnormal cells found in these changing tissues can usually be detected with a Pap smear. In a Pap smear, cells are collected from the cervix and then examined in a laboratory. If left undetected and allowed to grow, the abnormal cells may develop into cancer cells and invade into the cervix or spread to surrounding tissues. The extent of tumor growth and how far the cancer cells have penetrated into neighboring tissues and organs determines the stage of the cancer when it is diagnosed. Prognosis for patients improves dramatically the earlier the disease is detected. The stage of cervical cancer diagnosed is the most important factor for deciding the course of treatment for the disease. The five-year survival rate for early invasive cervical cancer is 91 percent. For pre-invasive cervical cancer, the rate is nearly 100 percent. For all stages of the disease combined, five-year survival is 69 percent.

Extractions: Screening for Cervical Cancer RECOMMENDATION Routine screening for cervical cancer with Papanicolaou (Pap) testing is recommended for all women who are or have been sexually active and who have a cervix. Pap smears should begin with the onset of sexual activity and should be repeated at least every 3 years (see Clinical Intervention). There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against an upper age limit for Pap testing, but recommendations can be made on other grounds to discontinue regular testing after age 65 in women who have had regular previous screenings in which the smears have been consistently normal. There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening with cervicography or colposcopy, or for screening for human papilloma virus infection, although recommendations against such screening can be made on other grounds (see Clinical Intervention). Burden of Suffering The principal screening test for cervical cancer is the Pap smear. Although the Pap smear can sometimes detect endometrial, vaginal, and other cancers,3,4 its use as a screening test is intended for the early detection of cervical dysplasia and cancer. Other proposed cervical screening tests include cervicography, colposcopy, and testing for HPV infection. The role of pelvic examination, which usually accompanies the collection of the cervical specimen, is discussed in Chapter 14 in relation to ovarian cancer screening.

http://www.ucl.ac.uk/operational-research/cersht.htm

Extractions: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with the development of cervical premalignancy. New viral testing techniques are now available. PROBLEM: Would HPV testing improve the cervical screening programme? CORU has developed a model of the acquisition and regression of HPV infection and its effects on the probability of developing precancer. Disease progression is modelled using probability analysis with progression rates dependent on the presence of different grades of HPV infection: This leads to complex, but easily computed forecasts for the outcomes of different screening strategies. These can be used to compare different potential screening options These models suggest that HPV testing would have little effect on the incidence of invasive cancer compared with a policy of repeat cytology. The potential value of HPV testing as a primary screening method is strongly dependent on its diagnostic accuracy.

Extractions: var OPENNODE = '1000,1004,1009,1010,1897,'; var CURRNODE = 1897 init( "setID( CURRNODE );" ); Cervical cancer (cancer of the cervix) is usually the result of a common virus: the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is generally sexually transmitted. Most women have the virus at some time during their life, but for many their immune system will get rid of the virus without them even knowing that it was there. Some types of the virus can cause genital warts, and other types can cause changes in the cells of the cervix. The changes in the cervix usually clear up once the immune system has rid the body of the virus. In some women, however, the virus remains present for a number of years, and in a few of these cases, the changes in the cervix will develop into cancer if left untreated. Cervical cancer used to be one of the most common causes of cancer death for American women, but the use of the Pap test has made drastic improvements in detecting the disease early. Between 1955 and 1992 the number of deaths from cervical cancer declined by 74 percent. An estimated 14,000 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the coming year. Types of Cervical Cancer There are two main types of cervical cancers: squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. These, as well as more rare types of cervical cancer, are classified according to how they look under a microscope. About 85 percent to 90 percent of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. They begin in the ectocervix, the part of the cervix next to the vagina. The remaining 10 percent to 15 percent of cervical cancers are adenocarcinomas, which develop from the mucus-producing gland cells of the endocervix, the part of the cervix next to the body. More rare are cervical cancers that have features of both squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas. They are called adenosquamous carcinomas, or mixed carcinomas.
