Cancer and Healthy

Cervical cancer, also known as invasive endometrial adenocarcinoma, is one of a woman's worst nightmare. It is a cancer that forms in tissues of the cervix (organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing disease that may not have symptoms, but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope). The thought alone of this sends shivers down the spine all the way down to the smallest toe!

The first stage of this disease can not be displaying or causing any symptoms. Moderate pain during intercourse and vaginal can somewhat experienced at this stage. In a May advanced cervical cancer can go through a loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, pain in the pelvis, legs and back pain, swelling of the legs, heavy vaginal bleeding and leakage of urine or faeces from the vagina.

This work is tackling cancer through a different phase, or in areas that are measured in phases: in phase I, the cancer of the cervix raids in the framework of the upper layer of cells. In Phase II, which extends along the cervix in the vicinity of the tissues, to the upper portion of the vagina, on the pelvic wall. In Phase III, the extension remains the lower part of the vagina, and can move to the wall and the nearby pelvic lymph nodes. And in Phase IV, the cancer has been extended to the less remote or arrange for parts of the body, such as the bladder, liver, rectum, lungs and additional organs of the body.

There are various treatments for cervical cancer, there is surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, vaccine therapy. Cancer can be detected through screening, testing, tumor markers and biopsy procedures. With these new technologies as the percentage of deaths has fallen dramatically.
