Cervical Cancer
Last September 24,
all the employees of DMCI homes are invited to join the lecture about the cervical
cancer. It’s because Babae ako (I’m a
woman) I’m so curious about it I use to attend and to join the advocacy to
fight the Cervical Cancer. The program starts with a short Indi film which is
so touching and it makes me aware that cervical cancer is prone to all the
women then after the film the doctor start the lecture and she explains why we
need to have cervical vaccine; all women needs it and there is no excuses
because cervical cancer is the top 2 killer cancer for woman after breast
cancer. I’m so glad that our company offers it with a low price and take note its
salary deduction and we are so fortunate because our company cares about us. Being a
woman we must take care of our health not just for our self but for our love
ones.
Just in case you don’t know what is cervical cancer
is and where the virus comes.
Cervical cancer is a malignant neoplasm
arising from cells originating in the cervix
uteri. One of the most common symptoms of cervical cancer is abnormal vaginal
bleeding, but in some cases there may be no obvious symptoms until the
cancer has progressed to an advanced stage.[1]
Treatment usually consists of surgery (including local excision) in early stages,
and chemotherapy
and/or radiotherapy
in more advanced stages of the disease.
Cancer
screening using the Pap smear can identify precancerous and potentially
precancerous changes in cervical cells and tissue. Treatment
of high-grade changes can prevent the development of cancer in many victims. In
developed countries, the widespread use of cervical screening programs has
dramatically reduced the incidence of invasive cervical cancer.[2]
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection appears
to be a necessary factor in the development of almost all cases (90+%) of
cervical cancer.[1][3]
HPV
vaccines effective against the two strains of this large family of viruses that
currently cause approximately 70% of cases of cervical cancer have been
licensed in the U.S, Canada, Australia, and the EU.[4][5]
Since the vaccines only cover some of the cancer-causing
("high-risk") types of HPV, women should seek regular Pap smear
screening, even after vaccination.[6]
The cervix is the narrow portion of
the uterus where it joins with the top of the vagina. Most cervical cancers are
squamous cell carcinomas, arising in the squamous (flattened) epithelial cells that line
the cervix. Adenocarcinoma, arising in glandular epithelial
cells is the second most common type. Very rarely, cancer can arise in
other types of cells in the cervix.
