“…This is in contrast with Hasiniatsy et al in which the main inaugural symptom was an advanced bleeding found in 71.87% of the cases [17]. Almost all cervical cancers contain traces of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is also causative in the cellular changes that bring about ASC-US (abnormal squamous cells of uncertain significance), LGSILs (lowgrade squamous intraepithelial lesions) and HGSILs (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions) [23]. It is thought to infect basal cells within the cervical epithelium gaining access via minor trauma, or at the squamocolumnar junction [23] [24].…”

“…Integration of HPV into the cell genome is considered as an important step in the process [24]. The immune status is probably a significant factor [23]. Histologically, SCC was the predominant type with 1.687 (81.18%) cases, followed by the ADK with 269 (12.95%) cases.…”

“…After breast and colorectal cancer, cervical cancer is considered to be the third most prevalent cancer in women [ 1 , 2 ]. In fact, one in ten diagnosed cancers in women are that of the cervix [ 3 ] resulting in 275,000 deaths worldwide in 2008 [ 2 , 4 ]. Cervical cancer is often diagnosed in young adult women whom are often primary carers for their families or actively involved in their careers [ 2 ].…”

BackgroundCervical cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in women, and since the introduction of the Papanicolaou test (Pap test or Pap smear), the incidence of cervical cancer and mortality rates worldwide have declined substantially. However significant disparities have been identified between the cervical screening rates of heterosexual and lesbian women. This study explores the attitudes and practices that lesbians have towards cervical cancer screening and aims to identify why such disparities occur.MethodsA qualitative methodology based on feminist perspectives was used to collect narrative data from lesbians about their attitudes and practices of cervical screening through the use of semi structured interviews. Nine women who self-identified as lesbian that were living in New South Wales were recruited for the study. Interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach.ResultsFour main themes emerged from the data namely: Encountering cervical cancer: “my friends had some early cancer cells detected”, Misconceptions related to risk: “I am a lesbian I don’t need one”, Imposed screening: “It’s a requirement of IVF treatment” and, Promoting cervical screening: “I think it should be spoken about in schools”.ConclusionsConsistent with the literature, the findings show that the majority of these women do not undertake cervical screening at the recommended rate. This study highlights the multiple and complex issues related to cervical cancer screening for lesbians, mainly through misconceptions and underestimation of risk. Specific and targeted educational and promotional strategies are required for both lesbians and health professionals to enhance cervical cancer screening rates for lesbians in Australia.

“…As an example, among patients with known staging at diagnosis in Chiang Mai Province, almost 30% were diagnosed as advanced stages, including only 10.4% with localized disease and 29.2% with metastatic diseases. 19 Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer affecting women around the world 20 as well as in Phanom Phrai. The high incidence might be due to high pre-cancerous lesions with 2.4% and 5.3% for conditions like infection and inflammation respectively.…”

Cancer is the top leading cause of death in Roi Et, a northeastern province in Thailand. Common cancers based on prevalence were liver and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), breast, colon, lung, and cervical cancers. This study was conducted to estimate age-standardized rates (ASR) of cancer mortality during 2010 in Phanom Phrai, a district in Roi Et, and compare the adjusted rates with the national ASR during 2008. The study population consisted of Thai citizens who died of cancer in Phanom Phrai during 1 Jan to 31 Dec 2010. ASR were calculated using the Segi standard population. ASR of all cancers was 69 per 100,000 population (/105). ASR of colorectal cancer in Phanom Phrai during 2010 (10.0/105) was higher than that of the national ASR in 2008 (6.5/105) and ASR of this cancer among men (14.7/105) was three times higher than that of women (5.1/105). ASR of liver and ICC (22.6/105), lung (10.9/105), cervix (7.6/105), and breast (1.6/105) in Phanom Phrai during 2010 were lower than those of the national ASR in 2008. ASR can be used to calculate cancer mortality rates for all provinces, allowing comparison and epidemiologic studies for more effective intervention.
