Cancer of the cervix occurs in the cells lining the lower part of the uterus. A condition known as Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or CIN occurs when normal cervical cells transform into precancerous cells. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia may then progress to squamous intraepithelial lesion (or SIL) the condition that precedes cervical cancer.

Smoking, age and race are all factors that contribute to cervical cancer. For instance smokers have twice the likelihood of developing cervical cancer than nonsmokers.
 

 


Symptoms - The common symptoms of cervical cancer are:

  • Vaginal discharge
  • Bleeding
  • Painful intercourse and urination
  • and lower back pain

Diagnosis - A doctor may use what is know as a PAP smear (Papanicolaou Test) where cells are removed using a cotton swab or other instrument. The cells are then "smeared" onto a glass slide and then sent to a laboratory for testing. The test should only be performed two weeks following the end of the menstrual cycle. The patient should also wait at least 48 hours after having sexual intercourse before having the test done.

Treatment - Cervical cancer is treated differently depending on what stage it is currently at. For instance at the early CIN stage the doctor may use a cone biopsy or loop electrode incision (wire loops heated with an electric current).

More advance forms of cervical cancer are treated using the conventional methods of radiation, chemotherapy and and surgery. Later stages of the disease may require the total removal of the uterus (hysterectomy).
