Cervical Cancer: Risk Factors, Pathophysiology, Symptoms, Staging, Diagnosis, Treatment & Prevention 

Cervical Cancer | Risk Factors, Pathophysiology, Symptoms, Staging, Diagnosis, Treatment & Prevention
Cervical Cancer is a cancer of the cervix, which is the lower end of the uterus. Cervical cancer is caused by infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV), with certain types of HPV (types 16, 18) having a higher risk of causing cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer. Cervical cancer results after repeat or long-standing infections with HPV. A variety of factors increase the risk of Cervical cancer including immunosuppression and smoking. In some cases Cervical cancer can be asymptomatic, although as the condition worsens, cervical cancer will cause signs and symptoms including vaginal discharge and vaginal discomfort among other symptoms. In this lesson, we discuss all of the risk factors for getting cervical cancer, the signs and symptoms including symptoms of metastasis of the cancer, staging of Cervical cancer by pap smear and colposcopy, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated.
NOTE: In addition to what was mentioned in this lesson with regards to diagnostic procedures, imaging can be used to help stage the cervical cancer (especially in Stage IV).
