Return to Home En Espanol Latest Updates Our Mission The mission of the National Cervical Cancer Coalition (NCCC) is to: 1) Enhance awareness of the traditional Pap smear, new technologies, treatment and reimbursement issues facing cervical cancer screening. 2) Develop a grass roots effort directed toward explaining the Pap smear and the difficulties that current below cost, low levels of reimbursement rates cause for the traditional Pap smear and potential new technology. 3) Clearly communicate the continued importance and success of cervical cancer screening as a national communicable disease/cancer screening test to lower cervical cancer rates, with emphasis on access to quality testing for all women, including those most in need of a pap smear, i.e. women who are sexually active, young, poor and may not have had a prior Pap smear. 4) Review national and international cervical cancer screening and treatment programs.

9. Penile Cancer, Cervical Cancer And Circumcision Status History Penile cancer - cervical cancer in partners - References http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/cancer/

Penile cancer, cervical cancer, and circumcision History The alleged relationship between "lack of circumcision" and genital cancers formerly implicated smegma or smegma-borne pathogens as the causative agent. Only two histologic studies of human smegma ever have been conducted, both of which found it to be perfectly harmless. Smegma is composed of secretions of ectopic sebaceous glands in the prepuce mixed with secretions of the prostate, seminal vesicles, mucin from the urethral glands, and desquamated epithelial cells. The hypothesis that human male smegma is carcinogenic was first formulated in 1932 by circumcision promoter Abraham L. Wolbarst, M.D. . Wolbarst also believed that circumcision prevented epilepsy. (In the early part of the 20th Century, the paroxysm of masturbation in children was often misidentified as an epileptic seizure.) Wolbarst wrote: "[Circumcision] diminishes the tendency to masturbation, convulsions and other reflex phenomena of local irritation." Wolbarst's beliefs about circumcision were shared by other writers, such as Peter Remondino and Abraham Ravich. No laboratory or clinical research had been done on the subject at the time. Regardless, Wolbarst's hypothesis about smegma and cancer found its way into early medical textbooks. In the 1950s a few experiments were done to test the hypothesis by injecting horse smegma into wounds made in the backs of mice. There were clinical studies that attempted to induce cancer by introducing smegma subcutaneously and intravaginally: No carcinomas could be induced.

Pap smears are used primarily to detect cancer of the uterine cervix or precancerous conditions - abnormalities of the cervix that may lead to cancer. Since its introduction in the early 1940's, the Pap smear is credited with saving tens of thousands of women's lives and decreasing deaths from cervical cancer by more than 70%. The key is early detection made possible by microscopic examination of a specially treated sample of cervical cells. Every woman should have an annual Pap smear as part of a complete pelvic examination beginning when she becomes sexually active or reaches 18 years of age and continuing for the rest of her life.

Treatment statement for Health professionals Cervical Cancer Get this document via a secure connection General Information Cellular Classification Stage Information ... Recurrent Cervical Cancer General Information 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.

Future Directions Introduction The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program helps low-income, uninsured, and underserved women gain access to lifesaving early detection screening programs for breast and cervical cancers. Many deaths from breast and cervical cancers—which will occur disproportionately among women who are uninsured or underinsured—could be avoided by increasing cancer screening rates among all women at risk. Mammograms and Papanicolaou (Pap) tests are underused by women who have less than a high school education, are older, live below the poverty level, or are members of certain racial and ethnic minority groups. Studies show that early detection of breast and cervical cancers saves lives. Timely mammography screening among women aged 40 or older could prevent 15% to 30% of all deaths from breast cancer. Detection and treatment of precancerous lesions found during a Pap test can actually prevent cervical cancer, as well as find cervical cancer at an early stage when it is most curable.
