Cervical Cancer Treatment While Pregnant

every year half a million women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and over half of these women will die medical aid films has produced this film to explain how many of these lives could be saved through screaming early detection prevention and treatment let's hear from an expert in cervical cancer screening to explain how this works in practice it is important to be

aware that nearly all cervical cancer is caused by a genital infection with the HPV or human papilloma virus and this is sexually transmitted HPV infections can be prevented by giving a course of HPV vaccinations two young girls exposure to high risk HPV can increase with the number of sexual partners a woman may have so it's important to vaccinate girls before they become sexually active. 

Cervical Cancer Treatment

 

HPV infections are extremely common in women under the age of 35 but only a small number of women go on to develop abnormal or precancerous changes in the cells of the cervix these changes can be found through screening screening is not a test for cancer it is a method for detecting precancerous changes in women which if left untreated may lead to cancer in most countries screening is recommended for women between the ages of 30 and 49.

In some countries such as uganda screening starts at the age of 25 the world health organization recommends that women are screened once every five years there in some countries they

recommend every three years. HIV positive patients should be screened, once a year as HIV women have a higher risk of contracting HPV infection and a higher risk of developing cervical cancer is our health worker who will describe some different screening tests now we're going to look at the four main tests visual inspection with acetic acid VI a visual inspection with Lugo's ID ein test really happened nicolau Pap test and the HPV DNA test which chest you use depends on the equipment you have available in your community.

The first two tests involve looking at the service so the results are available right away the last two tests require laboratory analysis so you have to wait for the results this test is also known as the vinegar. Tess as normal household vinegar can be used instead of acetic acid for this test five percent vinegar or five percent acetic acid solution is applied to the cervix and after one minute. The health worker checks to see if it changes color when vinegar is applied to abnormal cervical tissue white spots will appear so you can make an immediate assessment of a positive or negative result white spots occur because the precancerous cells have increased

protein normal cells do not change color, the remain pink in this test.

I didn't is applied to the cervix if cervical precancerous changes are present they will appear well defined thick and mustard or golden yellow in color while the normal cells of the cervix stains brown or black the results from these tests are

reported as negative or normal positive. for pre-cancer or suspicious for cancer a negative result means the woman has a normal cervix a positive result means the cervix has pre-cancer cells which if not treated early can develop into cancer and results reading suspicious. for cancer means the woman has changes visible on her cervix that causes you to suspect cancer she will need to be referred for diagnosis and treatment.

The test cannot confirm a cancer diagnosis or the stage of cancer this has to be done by a call pasta p biopsy and examination if a positive pre cancer diagnosis is made then treatment can take place in the same visit as part of the screen and treat approach this is more convenient for the woman the visual screening tests are simple give immediate results and are easy to perform this means they can be carried out by nurses or a health worker. These methods are very effective for

premenopausal women but less suitable for postmenopausal women this is because the transformation zone of these women is often inside the cervical canal and therefore not visible the transformation zone is part of the cervix where precancerous changes often occur due to the occurrence of false positives.

Cervical Cancer Treatment While Pregnant

Some woman who test positive do not have the disease this means that some women will get treated unnecessarily if we caused them anxiety however VI a and really produce very few false negatives so many women will be saved from developing cancer with these relatively simple safe tests and treatment now it's time to hear about the other two screening methods. First the Papanikolaou or Pap test the Pap test involves collecting cells of the cervix using a spatula or brush these are then smeared onto a glass

slide and immediately faced with a solution to preserve the cells the sample must be carefully labeled and sent to the laboratory, where it is stained and examined by a trained health worker using a microscope this determines whether the cells are

normal or abnormal and the extent of the abnormality perhaps have been used for a long time. in some countries however they require good laboratory resources and quality controls they have fewer false positives than the visual test but they have more false negatives which means they are most useful in areas where animal screaming.

as possible as samples have to be sent to the laboratory it can be costly and the results are not immediate the results will come back as negative positive for high-grade ore low-grade lesions all suspicious for cancer the Pap test cannot confirm the final diagnosis of the stage of cancer the fall screening test is the HPV DNA screening. while all the other tests are detecting precancerous changes in the cervix this method is used to detect the DNA of high-risk HPV in vagina or cervical smears a sample of cells is collected from the cervix all vagina using a swab or a small brush and plays in a container with a preservative solution.

The specimen can be collected by the healthcare worker or by the woman herself by inserting a swab deep into the vagina until it meets resistance and then turning it three times, the sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. detection of high-risk HPV does not necessarily mean that pre cancer or cancer is present it indicates simply that the woman has a huge bv infection and that this if left. Untreated can lead to cancer HPV testing has fewer false positives and false negatives so the test will tell you more accurately who is at risk if the results are positive the woman will still need to undergo one of the other cervical.

Screening tests to establish if the HPV infection has led to the development of cervical pre-cancer or cancer so those are the four screening tests used to detect abnormalities on the cervix, now we will hear about what happens next all woman should receive the results of the test well the negative or positive and effective system for follow-up and treatment of women who test positive is an important component for successful. cervical cancer prevention after a positive result some women may require a car pasta p if there is one available alka pasta p is the visual examination of the cervix vagina and vulva with a special type of microscope which provides elimination and magnification allowing the seller person to be examined application of dilute acetic acid highlights abnormal areas and a visual analysis of the extent of the precancerous lesions can be carried out if needed a biopsy can be performed at the same time using a punch

biopsy forceps small pieces of tissue removed from the abnormal areas of the cervix.

The sample is placed in a preservative labeled and then sent to the laboratory for analysis this will confirm whether there is pre cancer or cancer and the severity and extent so that appropriate treatment can be given , pasta p.m. biopsies should be performed by properly trained health professionals once clearly diagnosed small precancerous lesions can be treated with cryotherapy as part of the screen and trees approach a woman with large. Lesions found with VI a of valley or high grade lesions cloud with pap tests or coupee should be referred to a gana colleges for procedures requiring more expertise before doing the cryotherapy Presidio and VI a or a very test will need to be performed in order to identify the abnormal tissue for removal sometimes both tests are carried out cryotherapy eliminates precancerous areas on the cervix by freezing them.

This simple procedure takes about 15 minutes and can be performed without anesthesia by trained professionals who

are skilled in public examination and cryotherapy to perform cryotherapy a speculum is inserted into the vagina and abnormal areas of the cervix are identified by applying either acetic acid or I adine that a highly cool metal discs called a cryoprobe is applied to the cervix this freezes the surface

using carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide gas the crier probe is applied to the cervix twice lasting for three minutes each time with a five-minute saw or rest in between this is called the double fries technique or the 353 freeze formula

Cryotherapy has a success rate of around ninety percent for the treatment of small lesions cryotherapy preserves the uterus and cervix so women can still have children in the future for big

lesions are those thought to be more serious than a loop electrosurgical excision procedure or leap is used. Before any treatment it is important that the health worker discusses the procedure and the potential side effects with the patient

after treatment, the woman may experience mild pain and

cramping and a watery discharge we should disappear within two weeks the cervix takes a month to heal and it's important that the woman either abstains from sex or use a condom during this

time the woman should report to the health facility for investigation and treatment is she experiences fever

severe abdominal pain.

Foul smelling discharge or lower back pain a follow up review should take place for weeks after the procedure and

a further check out a year later treatment by cryotherapy and leap is appropriate for precancerous conditions if screening suggest there is a suspicion of cervical cancer then the woman should be referred on for further investigation and treatment treatment. would depend on the stage of the cancer the age and the general health of the woman treatment options could include surgery and radiotherapy, finally we hear about how important it

is to keep records records should include every woman's clinical record appointments that have been scheduled and those that have been kept or missed this can be a simple paper record or computer-based with the exception of the Pap test, there are no permanent samples of the screen test that can be reviewed later.

So it's important that all screenings and results are recorded in a log book it is also important to make sure that women receive their results whether they're positive or negative and that women with positive results are followed up for treatment

remember screening alone does not prevent cervical cancer

this Article has introduced you to the principles behind cervical screening test treatments and prevention and the

second film in the series you will see a step-by-step guide to

perform in the visual screening tests and remember screaming alone does not prevent cervical cancer follow up and treatment are key to the prevention of cervical cancer yeah

Cervical Cancer Surgery Day And Treatments for Cervical Cancer

Cervical Cancer Surgery Day

          Cervical Cancer Surgery

Hi guys it's me I am ready and dressed to go to the hospital it's about and i will talk to you when i'm in the hospital see you soon have.

hey guys my throat's a bit sore because I have a breathing pipe when I went under. I don't have great news unfortunately I

yeah they did the lymph node test and it showed positive for cancer cells so they didn't do the hysterectomy, I'll show you my war rooms really quickly it's not ugly, so manage top so if you're squeamish look away but it's really not that bad so they did two incisions and two on the site test my luck floats, I'm a bit slow because it's still a little bit painful so they discharged me yesterday before I went into surgery they injected this.

Radioactive dime into four parts of my cervix and then they put a CT scan for 3d body scans they can see where the dye had traveled to the thoughts and then no. I went into surgery and as soon as I came out I knew that they haven't done what they had done the sister-act me so what that means is a next week I'm

going to be leaving with a radiation, specialist and chemotherapy specialist because i'm going to need both.

Treatments for Cervical Cancer 

treatment options for cancer include surgery radiation therapy and chemotherapy you may receive one or a combination of these treatments depending on the size of tumor whether it has spread and whether or not you would like to be able to have children you have several surgical options depending on the type and stage of the cancer during early stage 1a your surgeon may perform.

Treatments for Cervical Cancer

conization to remove a cone-shaped piece of the cervix one example of colonization called leap for loop electrosurgical excision procedure uses a thin wire heated by electricity to

remove the tissue during later stage 1a and 1b your surgeon may perform a radical try colectomy to preserve your uterus if you want to be able to have children later the surgeon removes the cervix and upper part of the vagina and places a stitch at the lower end of the uterus to act as an artificial internal opening of the cervix during early stage.

1a your surgeon may perform a total hysterectomy removing the uterus and cervix during later stage 1a and 1b your surgeon may perform a radical hysterectomy removing the cervix the

tissue around the cervix the uterus and part of the vagina during either a total or radical hysterectomy your surgeon may remove other tissues such as the fallopian tubes ovaries or lymph nodes as necessary if the cancer occurs your surgeon may perform pelvic exenteration removing all the organs and tissues as a radical hysterectomy plus the pelvic lymph nodes bladder vagina rectum and colon depending on where cancer has spread radiation therapy or radiotherapy uses high-energy raised to kill cancer cells in the treated area only external beam radiation therapy is directed the cancers location from a machine outside your body.

brachytherapy or internal radiation therapy is directed at the cancers location from a device placed inside your body chemotherapy a systemic treatment uses drugs to stop the growth of the cancer, cells by either killing them or inhibiting their cell division once the drugs enter the bloodstream they can travel and reach cancer cells throughout the body.

Cervical Cancer Vaccine Controversy and Reviews

It would have happened anyway and just like tired all the time like I no energy whatsoever and in my house I'm fixer, yes I fix everything and the hardest part for me was I couldn't fix this scares around people using medicines vaccines really do car slides. I want to say to everybody in the fireside of this house you may be looking into your daughter's eyes in a few years time explain to her why her best friend has got cervical cancer, because you wouldn't protect her by your son's wife may not be protected and have cervical cancer because we all know in this house that we vaccinate our children we protect our children the reason that we advise targeting.

Children aged 12 to 13 is that the vaccine is more effective it is given if it is given before people pick up the infection and also it is known that the younger the person who gets the vaccine the stronger and more long-lasting the immune responses now initially we recommended to begin to girls we've recently recommended it to the Department of felt that also be given

two boys and 17 now I'm gonna be 18 soon and I've missed so like such a big part of my life I miss most the social life that I had before this and i miss

my education I was such an intelligent girl and no I've just got this fog over my mind and I can't recall words and I just feel so stupid, I was a really active girl and happy carefree i was playing basketball I was honors everything I love English and I

loved art and had loads friends I loved being out with them nor was always top honors all her teachers as very highly ever not just academically but also you know her participation in the classroom and sharing her experiences in our thoughts and and with an asset in the classroom and she was often described as

and her artwork is superb five years ago door within her first year of secondary school she came home with news about a new vaccination program which would protect her against cervical cancer.

Laura came home with the information and the leafless and the consent form so i read the information we first and then and I went on with HSE website i had a look at that there was a few other websites and I think they're all listed on the information she looked at them i decided i take another little bit further because it was a new vaccine and I didn't know much about it so I checked out the world health organization website.

Everything was very positive didn't find anything particularly negative and always good so I spoke to laura and naturally know it was 12 she wasn't too keen on having a needle and I said oh

lord this is very important they told me you know this is going to be good for you and we wouldn't do this for you unless we thought it was the best thing on the first day in school, she came home I got a phone call from the nurse know it was unwell and I went in to pick her up and she was very rosy dizzy nauseous headache II. felt really awful came home went to bed

i was told that was normal the vaccine was given to first year

girls in three doses over several months for Laura the real trouble began after the second dose fatigue slowly crept in over months and I started getting phone calls regularly from the school to go and pick it up.

Michael win and should be sitting outside the secretary's office very very white washed out looking and complaining of abdominal pain and dizziness nauseousness week makes like jelly just

barely able to hold herself up so should go home come home and go to bed and the next morning I caught up for school and she get up and go again and phone call become nation today and it just continued on and on like this too it got to the stage where Laura couldn't go to school so began a long and painful journey through the Irish health system.

Laura was tested and retested for chronic fatigue Amy narcolepsy and a host of other conditions the symptoms gradually came in and then it seemed like all of a sudden I just started to get like a new symptom everyday so car like fatigue joint and muscle pain especially in the spine and food and tolerances to gluten and dairy and headaches regular body temperature and you know all these things came in and when they did I became you know confined to my bed for a year and i had to move into my brother's room downstairs because I become so weak I couldn't make it upstairs and one night I was really really bad and.

my brother had to spoon-feed me yogurt because i couldn't lift a spoon my face and I was so embarrassed because you know you're a fifteen-year-old girl you don't want anyone to know that and so

there was a great deal of like shame that came with it as well I'm not disputing the fact that this in these girls the symptoms came on after they got the vaccine but we expect in Ireland that there would be 600 people who develop chronic fatigue syndrome every year, about 20 to 40 in every 10,000 people can get this simple syndrome and that means that far more than 130 case of chronic fatigue syndrome are likely to have occurred irrespective of whether the vaccine was given or not I can't even have a shower my mom was the brush my hair.

I mean if I have a bath i'll be in the past for probably a good hour and a half washing my hair and jackie and small things that I can do so I you know I struggled address myself struggle to sometimes for a hair brush my hair 50 you can be so bad and hobbies jet want, my normal hobbies just sayin bad now that's when I mean I just I said home i think you know I try read as much like and reading is very difficult for me because my brain fog my mind just goes off to other things and i forget what i

read and yeah it's very difficult to concentrate i'll get off usually very late in the day because so hard for me to get off early in the mornings and I got a true today and I try to keep myself awake as much as I can as the chronic to use is it's really hard and that's your biggest issues yeah your chronic fatigue and the pain i have been armed I am NOT myself tissues and my joints can be quite sore and my wrists or come to get really

Really bad so like I sometimes I can pick up a pen

so talking to us right now you're tired you're in pain what else i'm confused my brain following so but it's a big problem you know and it's so hard to just think it's like I can't pink and it's like I'm not even i'm not even repair after time you know it's it's weird it's just like I'm not in here and it's really hard to concentrate and it's foggy and it's hard to pull outwards you know it's really hard to talk to people I was a very sporty girl i love my sport a lot of school and I hate missing school and my mind hands was always really high and I love learning and borders it's really difficult at the moment

Kelly pre vaccine was am the happiest most intelligent most energetic child you know she had her whole future in front of her and we always used to say things like all will be fine Kelly's going to be our pension you know her intelligence level was you know amazing am her physical ability to to do bits

and pieces you know she was always just undergo she was never had a problem with her piano student of the year for years ago it was Kelly's turn to get the vaccine this should be Kelly's leaving search year, but for her school is now a

distant memory her passion for photography is redundant

simply because she can't pick up the camera she too has been to any number of doctors consultants and specialist none of whom believed her condition is linked to the vaccine I'm not anti-vaxxers.

Whatsoever i always wear out of no problem getting vaccines so when home runs the vaccine i was on degrees and windy at it I got my vaccine is fine i went and sat down for a while my iron was really sore they sent me back to class and and then I got home and I just started to get small little headaches and then as the week's progress my health slowly decline for got worse and worse and worse when she was able to go to school should come in from school and should be green you know and you just be like are you okay and she'd be like I don't feel like I have slapped on ice I've got this kind of brain fog I can't

remember what people are saying to me have you ever had a day where you had energy and no pain now since you got the vaccine hello day without pain and I take a lot of painkillers.

I'm the painters are really bottom I storm i cani cani someone getting really sore from that and I'm prescribed 240 soft in a month i try to take them as little as I can but I need something for the pain walking up and down the stairs is sort of stress it's so it's so hard on me walking up and down the stairs so you know your mother asked me to go get a glass water glass of water dancers aight i got good and so because i won't I can deal with stress going up and down what I think is that the this condition

has been out there long before the vaccine was introduced but in those numbers at that age in greater numbers.

Than that we would expect 600 a year 12 year old guys those not the the age group in which this syndrome is more likely to occur in kearns aged 13 to 15 and then people from their mid-twenties

to the mid-forties we know that we know it's also four times more common in girls so you expect a higher incidence in adolescence anyway Kelly Laura and their families had no idea what was happening to them or why they were about to discover that they were not alone in Ireland and beyond mark is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and is a big employer in Ireland each manufacturers gardasil and distributes in this country through its subsidiary an awfully posture MSD which is based in tala in dublin gardasil was trialed by the

company for several years before it was submitted to the european medicines agency for review it was licensed by the european commission and put on the market across the EU in 2006 after a tendering process it was chosen for use in the immunization program here in 2010, before the gardasil vaccine was given a license trials involving 29,000 people were carried out and no licenses given to a vaccine on it necessary is going to be very safe no vaccine is a hundred percent safe nor is any vaccine one hundred percent effective but it is one of the safest vaccines data have been introduced and it's important to

remember that the the effectiveness of the vaccine has been shown not only in the trials before the license was given, but subsequently we're 80 million people around the world have been given one or other of these vaccines and in no country has there been a significant increase or any increase in any of the known side effects nor have any new side effects been identified which are caused by the vaccines

yeah

I'm just like tired all the time like I have no energy whatsoever and just I just kind of take the days according to

your work does not mean i can do I don't know when something's gonna happen you know how it's going to help him put that's really all I can do what I went into the room and that with another girl was to set prices and they to vaccines and each arm and that was alright and i found it but after a while I just a grown-up and I went over to sit down for the 15 minutes and like I knew there was something wrong well because I i really didn't feel right then and the girls are returned to you know talk to me and there are talking about it i am I didn't, I could lumps on back to not available.

I was kind of spaced out and then the woman had said in order to go but I couldn't stand up so she just told me to lighten them up for a few minutes and I just accounting remember what happened after that up 16 minutes past when I got a phone call from the school to say that he wasn't feeling well I could have come to coop and at that stage I didn't realize how serious this was you know I thought oh well it did say on the consent form that they can get your temperature or the clips are some grand

faked so without always probably a week or whatever and micros in the garbage so her dad's winter crop I went to school don't figure often when i asked where he wasn't an amex card over to all those.

overreacting that's the reality is a slight reaction to a vaccine you know a slight reaction to a vaccine to me is a

rasher it's a bit of nausea airfare and off we accept that but this was honest with yourselves i know i didn't as i said i didn't recognize are forced to know and that was really really scary

At this stage I sterilizing to that worried i had just all we all / baby as you do and he was quite some time coming home so I rang and said I'm predicted to get we're actually and so we're on our way so I kind of started to get into this anxious about why is it taking them so long to pick up her she arrived home and then I want just couldn't believe what had come through the door was completely different tribes that what I went to

school that morning and she wasn't able to speak her she's a funny color like a purple gray color. her eyes were dilated she could barely see the whites of them her joints her wrists or elbows her knees are swollen still if she was that this target twitchin this jerkin think and I was concerned that she might have pain.

Smewhere so because she was able to peaker said you can you move your inger or something have your pain she ind of pointed to her chest and so ourse Iran GP and I was absolutely in a errible state because I had never seen er like this before I remember him take me to into scary to go home were you scared at this point i was already working on Abby's life has not been the same sense hospitals and doctors surgeries became like second homes her condition has sometimes improved but then she suffers another setback in the form of an unexplained seizure that was very difficult to watch because i had usually commentary on the

end of these you know what I wouldn't scene for extent but that turns down a hospital I did America I just couldn't believe this that this was apps and this was possible

I just I just couldn't believe it and I also started reaction to something was a rash or you know you might be vomiting or whatever put this with just and this is just really difficult and 14 months and it's still very hard to and to think that you signed the consent form sorry you don't sign the consent something I was coming to be all end all of everything in the

cure for everything and and and this happens, and and the guest of that is just released but you know that use sign a consent form and your child ends up like this 40 not- matter that was not sanctified of these people so how do I smell like a man in medical today as i can remember a single okay tomorrow's class whole godless about me I finally copped to me in like the government name is called denmark is one of the many countries for gardasil has proven controversial this documentary total story remarkably similar to the one in Ireland and elsewhere girls whose lives are in roone parents who want two answers and doctors who can't provide them three le esta new for first again from the SP coming for a pianist shoot our meeting some new

vaccine.

Yes here we see mr. what he knew the famous gay porn group a feeling they're there they have time for us to open the incident late today and this year is holding the Danes decided on economic reasons to change from the gardasil the 4-valent vaccine to the two valent vaccine know my belief unfortunately is they're going to see an increased number of anal genital warts which can be transmitted from person to person with

regard to Japan the ministry for health made the decision not to recommend the vaccine both to make continue to make it available and that decision was not made by the Japanese Vaccine Advisory Committee equivalent of nyack nor was it made by either turn their regulatory agency all over the world's teenage girls and their parents are convinced that gardasil is to blame for their

suffering saying that is one thing.

Proving us is quite another have you any doubt in your mind about the link with the vaccine and how you're feeling do you feeling are you one hundred percent certain in your own mind that there is a direct link.

I'm one hundred percent certain i was never sick for the day that I got the first vaccine and I got all three of the

vaccines because we were reassured this vaccine is safe as long as started getting worse i started thinking what changed what was different how did this suddenly come out of nowhere and the only thing that I could think of then was the vaccinations that was the difference so we went to the doctor and we were reassured no it's not the vaccination and when we were sent further afield onto consultants we were told the same thing again so you're reassured and then time goes on your daughter's not getting any better.

In fact she's getting sicker and this just keeps nibbling away she was fine before that vaccine so I was going along research and research and researching getting nothing on it and then one night, I typed in HPV vaccine injury and the computer just lit up and all of sudden I'm faced with story after story after story identical to laura's just thousands them around the world all presenting the same they've all got the same symptoms i picked up the laptop i ran down the stairs my such a hurry

oh my God look we're not alone there are other people out here look at this they're all saying the exact same thing this is kelly story appear in black and white and do the kind of like I knew I was right and then, oh my god we don't it started slowly but quickly gathered pace as more and more parents shared stories the decision was taken to form a campaign group it would be called regret standing for reactions and effects of gardasil resulting in extreme trauma more than 130 girls and their families in Ireland are now signed up the first thing they had to do was convince people of a link between gardasil and their daughters illnesses and ash would prove to be the biggest challenge of all
