Getting the HPV vaccine reduces a woman's risk of Cervical Cancer.The recommendations are two doses of HPV vaccination at ages 11-12 or in early teens, to protect your child against cancers caused by the virus. Contact your child’s doctor or nurse about HPV cancer preventionTo know more Visit:

Mother or sister with Cervical Cancer? If abnormal cells spread deeper into the cervix or to other tissues or organs, the disease is then called cervical cancer, invasive cervical cancer, or metastatic cancer. India has a population of 436.76 million women aged 15 years and older who are at risk of developing cervical cancer. Two HPV vaccines (Gardasil and Cervarix) reduce the risk of cancerous or precancerous changes of the cervix. To Know more, Visit: https://www.pathsos.net/ Email Us: info@pathsos.net

Hereditary Cancer Testing

Cancer is a condition triggered by mutations (changes) in the genes of a cell that result in uncontrolled, abnormal cell growth. Some families have gene mutations that are passed down from one generation to the next.

Genetic testing may help you determine if your cancer was due to an inherited gene mutation and if you are at an increased risk of developing a second cancer.

Hereditary risk assessment

During your initial evaluation at PATHSOS, you will fill out a family history questionnaire, which includes questions regarding your personal and family history of cancer. This information will help determine if you are a candidate for genetic testing.

The following are some red flags for a hereditary cancer predisposition:

Family member with a known inherited gene mutation

Breast, colon or uterine cancer diagnosed under the age of 50

Ovarian cancer diagnosed at any age

Two or more close family members who have had the same type of cancer

The same type of cancer in several generations of the family

How it works

Genetic testing consists of a mouthwash or blood test. Analysis of the sample can determine if you inherited a gene mutation that contributed to your diagnosis of cancer. Genetic testing might also help determine if you are at greater risk of developing same cancer again or of developing another type of cancer.

Results of genetic testing

Genetic testing can help you make informed decisions about how to manage future risks of cancer. For example, if it is determined that you are at greater risk than the “average” patient for breast cancer recurrence, we may recommend adding breast MRIs to your routine screenings.

Also, if you are a woman who has breast cancer and you find out that you have an inherited risk, you may be at an increased risk for developing other cancers.  We will present you with options to reduce that risk.

The test results can help you develop a plan of care individualized just for you. Test results can also be of great value to your family members. Before and after genetic testing, we can organize a genetic counseling session.

Genomic testing refers to the examination of unique abnormalities or mutations that occur in cancer. For some patients, more targeted precision may now be possible by identifying the genetic profile of a neoplasm and coming up with treatment options specifically for that person’s cancer.

The genes we are born with may also contribute to our hazard of developing certain kinds of cancer, inclusive of breast, ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer. If you have a family history of cancer, Genetic testing is a choice for those who need extra information about their cancer risk.

Marijuana Strains For Cervical Cancer

Cervical Cancer - Investigations

The ectocervix is covered by squamous epithelium 

The endocervical canal by mucus secreting columnar epithelium 

The Squamocolumnar junction 

before puberty pH is alkaline 

after puberty it is acidic, due to bacterial breakdown of glycogen 

at puberty hormones cause extension of the columnar epithelium onto the ectocervix 

exposure of columnar epithelium to acid environment induces squamous metaplasia and the transformation zone 

site of most of the epithelial diseases that occur in the cervix

Screening

Screening in the form of a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear provides the key to early detection and improved survival chances.

 The components of the PAP stain are: 

Harris’s haematoxylin as a nuclear stain 

Orange G (stains keratin when present) 

Eosin: stains pink cytoplasm, nucleoli and cilia 

Light green; stains blue cytoplasm of metabolically active cells

Bismarck Brown; doesn’t add any distinctive colour 

Liquid based cytology

collected in a similar way to the Pap smear 

brushing cells from the neck of the womb 

a thin layer of the cells is deposited onto a slide

examined under a microscope by a cytologist 

Abnormal smear:

Nuclear changes 

disturbed chromatin distribution 

alteration in size 

prominent nucleoli 

abnormal nuclear outline 

multi-nucleation 

mitosis 

abnormal staining ◦ e.g. hyperchromatic or hypochromatic or polychromatic 

Cytoplasmic changes 

Less important than nuclear changes, include variation in: total cell size ad shape

abnormal cell vacuoles 

abnormal cytoplasmic staining 

loss of differentiation

When cells lining the cervix go out of control then cervical cancer starts. There are mainly two types of cervical cancer one is Squamous cell carcinoma and another is Adenocarcinoma. Invasive anaplastic carcinoma is a very rare cancer.
