“…En la zona cervical las lesiones comúnmente se desarrollan entre el epitelio estratificado escamoso del exocérvix y la zona de transición que lo separa del epitelio cilíndrico glandular del endocérvix. Su evolución puede variar desde la remisión espontánea sin tratamiento alguno, hasta el desarrollo de un CaCU (35).…”

“…The ectocervix is normally covered with non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelial cells and the endocervix is lined with columnar epithelial cells forming a visible drift at the meeting point due to the difference in thickness. Because of this difference, there is a unique interface that is formed where the two epithelia meet, called the squamocolumnar junction [ 15 ].…”

“…With the presence of HPV infections, or sometimes occasionally, it may result in the formation of abnormal, dysplastic epithelium with atypical cells showing impaired structures. These abnormal cells follow either of three outcomes—they may shortly proliferate then spontaneously revert to normal cells, they may continue proliferating to form a dysplastic epithelium or they may slowly progress to become malignant cells usually with persistent HPV infection over a long period [ 15 ].…”

Good medicine is based on good science, inquiry driven and open to new paradigms. For a complex disease such as cancer, a complex treatment regime that is well structured and multifactorial is indispensable. In the present day, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies are being used frequently for cancer, alongside modern biological therapies and allopathic medicine, in what is called integrative oncology. In all conscience, the use of natural, less invasive interventions whenever possible is ideal. However, a comprehensive understanding of not only the etiopathology of individual cancers, but also the detailed genetic and epigenetic characteristics, the cancer hallmarks, that clearly show the blueprint of the cancer phenotype is a requisite. Different tumors have a common behavioral pattern, but their specific features at the genetic and epigenetic levels vary to a great extent. Henceforth, with so many failed attempts to therapy, drug formulations and combinations need a focused pre-assessment of the inherent features of individual cancers to destroy the tumors holistically by targeting these features. This review therefore presents innocuous therapeutic regimes by means of CAM and integrative medicine approaches that can specifically target the hallmarks of cancer, using the case of cervical cancer.

“…Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor of the cervix, the most distal part of the uterus which connects with the vagina [ 1 , 2 ]. It is the fourth most common gynecologic malignancy and the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide [ 3 ].…”
