Is Cervical Cancer The Real Threat We've Been Led To Believe?
2008-03-26 15:01:00 With the vast amount of media attention given to cervical cancer since the introduction of the new HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccines, any female or parent could certainly be forgiven for believing that the risk of cervical cancer is a serious health threat to the female population.But exactly how serious is the risk, and what percentage of the population is actually affected?Consider these facts. Cervical cancer only represents a small proportion of all cancer diagnoses and deaths each year. For example, according to the American Cancer Society, American women are 16 times more likely to develop breast cancer than cervical cancer. And once diagnosed, they are 11 times more likely to die from breast cancer than they are from cervical cancer.To put this in terms of real numbers, U.S.A. estimates for 2007 indicated that of the 11,150 that were likely to be diagnosed of cervical cancer, 3670 were estimated to die. This equates to an approximate risk of 1 in 100,000 (U.S.A. population)...

Things you should know about cervical cancer
2008-02-29 01:14:00 1 Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide among women over the age of 15. Breast cancer tops the list. In Singapore, it is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths among women. About 200 women here are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year. The cancer begins in the cervix - the part of the uterus or womb that opens to the vagina - and can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated. It is not life-threatening if caught early. 2 Cervical cancer usually hits those in their 30s to 50s although there is no age limit to being diagnosed with it. 3 Cervical cancer is caused by the human papilloma virus, or HPV, which is easily transmitted through sexual intercourse or oral sex. Using condoms can cut the risk of transmission. About 50 to 80 per cent of women will acquire a genital HPV infection in their lifetime. In most women, the virus clears up by itself. But in a small number of women, the virus survives for years. It can then convert some cells on the ...

Maker of Cervical Cancer Vaccine Stops Pushing to Require It for Girls
2007-11-20 03:25:00 This week, the drug company Merck announced that it would end a lobbying campaign for Gardasil, its new vaccine for girls and women.The vaccine is designed to protect against four kinds of human papillomavirus, or HPV. These cause about seventy percent of cervical cancers and ninety percent of genital warts.The development of the vaccine has been widely praised. But Merck faced growing criticism for its push for states to require schoolgirls to be vaccinated with Gardasil. The company says the criticism was interfering with its goal of widespread use of the vaccine.The United States Food and Drug Administration approved Gardasil last June for females age nine to twenty-six.At least twenty of the fifty state legislatures have begun to consider some form of Gardasil requirement. In Texas, Governor Rick Perry has ordered that beginning in two thousand eight, girls eleven and twelve years old must be vaccinated with Gardasil. But parents could choose not to, if they object for religious...

Some Women Risk Cervical Cancer 25 YearsOn
2007-11-06 12:07:00 Women treated for precancerous lesions are at increased risk of developing cervical or vaginal cancer for at least another 25 years, according to a study suggesting that follow-up tests fall dangerously short.Using data from Sweden's national cancer registry, the researchers say that women who have had severe lesions in the cervix are more than twice as likely to develop one of the two cancers than women in the general population.The findings underscore the need for follow-up tests to continue for at least 25 years after treatment, far longer than the current five or 10 years standard in most European countries, says Dr Björn Strander, a gynaecologist at Sahlgren University Hospital in Sweden.Strander led the study, which is published online today by the British Medical Journal."This is a warning to the healthcare system to keep track of these women," he says."It has not been known these women remain at risk for such a very long time."Most cervical cancer are caused by the sexually...

2007-10-04 19:28:00 by Gloria Gamat on September 25th, 2007 Speaking of cervical cancer vaccines, there are two notables: Gardasil by Merck which was approved by the FDA earlier this year and Cervarix by GlaxoSmithKline which is expected to be approved by the FDA later this year (but already approved in Australia).
