Question 1

how would i go about getting care for cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Depends on spread.: Staging is done by pelvic exam under anasthesia, with cystoscopy, and proctoscopy.  If the cancer is contained (cancer in situ) it is cured by cone biopsy.  Stage i is treated by radical hysterectomy or radiation therapy.  More advanced disease gets combinations of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.  It would be wise to start by seeing your doctor to get directed properly.

Question 2

how would i go to a charity program for cervical cancer screening?

Accepted Answer

Yes: No one should be denied simple pap smear due to lack of money please call your local american cancer society, or your community hospital, or other health agencies, free screening is constantly being done by them.

Question 3

how long does it take to go from carcinoma in situ to cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Not all invasive: Cancers start in situ, and not all in situ cancers ultimately invade...But a lot do.  So, there is no timetable of when that you can rely on.  It is reasonable to take care of in situ when you find it, rather than trust an unreliable actor to behave itself the way you might like.

Question 4

i have read that if you have 3 normal paps smears in a row, you can go every 5 years for a paps.. is this true? if so, would that catch cancer or would too much time have passed? dont uterine and cervical cancer spread quickly?

Accepted Answer

: If you are low risk, not immunocompromised, and you your last 3 paps have been normal, then it is ok to defer pap testing to every 5 years as long as you are also testing for HPV with the pap smear. Pap smears detect cervical cancer (predominantly caused by HPV), and it is very slow growing.  Uterine cancer is a separate problem, not detected by pap smears. Report any abnormal bleeding to your GYN

Question 5

where in the u.s. is the center with best cures in cancer treatment, especially cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

Many cancer centers: There many hospitals in the U.S. With expertise and a long record of excellence in treating cervical cancer. The best plan is prevention, with regular pap smears and good follow-up care. Consult sources such as U.S. News & world report hospital rankings to find an excellent hospital near you. If there is a major university in your area, it will likely have a good hospital associated with it.

Question 6

wat is my chance of having cervical cancer if i had a smear about 4weeks ago and im going to get a coloposcopy now?

Accepted Answer

Not high: The reason we do pap smears is to catch abnormalities prior to cancers.  It is highly important to follow up and get the colposcopy because even though cancer is unlikely it can only be treated / prevented by early inteervention.

Question 7

if some had advanced cervical cancer , would hpv still be present in cells or does it go away after cancer has been established?

Accepted Answer

: The virus can stay on the disease tissue

Question 8

how many new cases of cervical cancer per year in the u.s.? how many cervical cancer deaths per year? what percentage is from hpv?

Accepted Answer

Cervical Cancer Data: Estimated new cases and deaths from cervical  cancer in the United States in 2012:  new cases: 12, 170; 	 deaths: 4, 220. The age-adjusted incidence rate was 8.1 per 100, 000 women per year. Almost all cases of cervical cancer are estimated to be due to hpv infection. Even so, most women with this infection do not get cervical cancer. See: http://www.Cancer.Gov/cancertopics/types/cervical.

Question 9

please tell me how long it takes for to go from cin 3 (carcinoma in situ) to cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

I don't know: We were often reminded during pathology training that tumors don't read books.  It best to see your doctor, and complete a course of treatment.  The cells in cin3 look a lot like the cells in invasive cancer.  I wish you the best.

Question 10

how quick does cervical cancer spread?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Early detection is curable and that's why pap smears are so important.  The ability to spread depends on a number of features- 
is it poorly differentiated?
What stage was it iwhen it was found?
Has it gone to lymph nodes already?
Sorry- wish i could be more helpful.
