Cervical Cancer Facts at vide
Cervical Cancer Fact 3. Både forekomsten og dødsfaldet fra livmoderhalskræft er faldet markant i løbet af de sidste årtier på grund af hyppigere påvisning af præ-invasive og kræftbelastninger i livmoderhalsen fra øget Pap screening.
Cervical Cancer Fact 4. Den femårige overlevelsesrate for tidlig invasiv kræft i livmoderhalsen er 92 procent. Den samlede femårige overlevelsesrate (for alle stadier kombineret) er ca. 73 procent. For præ-invasiv livmoderhalskræft er den femårige overlevelsesrate næsten 100 procent.
Livmoderhalskræft Fakta 5. Ændringer i livmoderhalsceller klassificeres efter deres grad af abnormitet. Hvis din test er unormal, så spørg din sundhedspersonale om at diskutere, hvordan dine abnormiteter blev beskrevet. Mild dysplasi, også kaldet cervical intraepithelial neoplasi (CIN 1) eller lav grad af pladehæmmende intraepitelial læsion (SIL), er en almindelig diagnose. Halvdelen af disse abnormiteter vender tilbage til normal uden behandling, så din sundhedspersonale vil måske vente og udføre en anden Pap-test i flere måneder. Overdrejning af mild dysplasi kan skade livmoderhalsen.
Livmoderhalskræft Fakta 6. Den primære risikofaktor for livmoderhalskræft er infektion med visse typer af humant papillomavirus (HPV). Store undersøgelser har fundet HPV - primært HPV 16, 18, 31 og 45 - i stort set alle tilfælde af livmoderhalskræft (over 93 procent). Det er dog vigtigt at bemærke, at ikke alle HPV-infektioner er bestemt til at blive livmoderhalskræft.
Cervical Cancer Fact 7. Hastigheden af cervikal carcinom in situ (en prækancer tilstand) peak i både sorte og hvide kvinder mellem 25 og 35 år. Imidlertid øges antallet af tilfælde af invasiv livmoderhalskræft med alderen, ligesom chancen for at dø af livmoderhalskræft.
Cervical Cancer Fact 8. Kvinder, der havde første samleje i en tidlig alder, eller som har haft mange seksuelle partnere eller har partnere, der har mange seksuelle partnere, har en højere risiko end normalt for at udvikle livmoderhalskræft.
Cervical Cancer Fact 9. Størstedelen af livmoderhalskræft udvikler sig gennem en række gradvise, veldefinerede prækancerøse læsioner. Under denne normalt lange proces kan det unormale væv ofte detekteres af Pap-testen og behandles.
Livmoderhalskræft fakta 10. Pap test, ligesom andre tidlige detektionstest, er ikke 100 procent nøjagtige. Selvom det ikke er ufejlligt, når det udføres korrekt, registrerer Pap smear et betydeligt flertal af livmoderhalskræft - normalt i de tidlige stadier, hvor sandsynligheden for en kur er den største, ifølge American Society of Clinical Patologists.

FAQ - 💬
❓ Did you know facts about cervical cancer?
👉 Cervical cancer develops in a woman's cervix (the entrance to the uterus from the vagina). Almost all cervical cancer cases (99%) are linked to infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV), an extremely common virus transmitted through sexual contact.
❓ What are the odds of dying from cervical cancer?
👉 About 44% of people with cervical cancer are diagnosed at an early stage. If cervical cancer has spread to surrounding tissues or organs and/or the regional lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate is 58%. If the cancer has spread to a distant part of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 18%.
❓ Which patient is at highest risk for cervical cancer?
👉 What Are the Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer?
- Having HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) or another condition that makes it hard for your body to fight off health problems.
- Smoking.
- Using birth control pills for a long time (five or more years).
- Having given birth to three or more children.
- Having several sexual partners.
❓ Where is cervical cancer most common?
👉 Cervical cancer rates
Rank | Country | Number |
---|---|---|
World | 604,127 | |
1 | Eswatini | 341 |
2 | Malawi | 4,145 |
3 | Zambia | 3,161 |
❓ What are the 5 warning signs of cervical cancer?
👉 Early Warning Signs of Cervical Cancer
- Vaginal bleeding (either after intercourse, between periods or post-menopause)
- Abnormal vaginal discharge (heavy or with a foul odor)
- Pain during intercourse.
- Pelvic pain.
- Lower back pain.
- Pain and swelling in legs.
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Decreased appetite.
❓ What were your first signs of cervical cancer?
👉 Symptoms
- Vaginal bleeding after intercourse, between periods or after menopause.
- Watery, bloody vaginal discharge that may be heavy and have a foul odor.
- Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse.
❓ Does cervical cancer spread fast?
👉 Cervical cancer is a slow-growing malignancy. In fact, once cells in the cervix begin to undergo abnormal changes, it can take several years for the cells to grow into invasive cervical cancer.
❓ How long can you have cervical cancer without knowing?
👉 Cervical cancer develops very slowly. It can take years or even decades for the abnormal changes in the cervix to become invasive cancer cells. Cervical cancer might develop faster in people with weaker immune systems, but it will still likely take at least 5 years.
❓ How quickly does cervical cancer start?
👉 How quickly does cervical cancer develop? Cervical cancer develops very slowly. It can take years or even decades for the abnormal changes in the cervix to become invasive cancer cells. Cervical cancer might develop faster in people with weaker immune systems, but it will still likely take at least 5 years.
❓ What triggers cervical cancer?
👉 Long-lasting infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex. At least half of sexually active people will have HPV at some point in their lives, but few women will get cervical cancer.
❓ What are the 7 warning signs of cervical cancer?
👉 Once the cancer is more advanced, women may start to experience the following warning signs of cervical cancer:
- Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding. ...
- Fatigue. ...
- Loss of Appetite or Unexplained Weight Loss. ...
- Foul Smelling Vaginal Discharge. ...
- Pain During Sexual Intercourse. ...
- Lower Back, Pelvic or Appendix Pain. ...
- Leg Pain.
❓ What is cervical cancer?
👉 Cancer cells invade nearby tissues and can break off from a tumor to spread (metastasize) elsewhere in the body. It isn't clear what causes cervical cancer, but it's certain that HPV plays a role. HPV is very common, and most women with the virus never develop cervical cancer.
❓ Can cervical cancer occur in women under 20?
👉 It rarely develops in women younger than 20. Many older women do not realize that the risk of developing cervical cancer is still present as they age. More than 20% of cases of cervical cancer are found in women over 65.
❓ How has cervical cancer screening changed over the last 15 years?
👉 It can also find cervical cancer early − when it's small and easier to cure.) But it has not changed much over the last 15 years. Cervical cancer tends to occur in midlife and is most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 35 and 44. It rarely develops in women younger than 20.
❓ Who is at risk for cervical cancer?
👉 All women are at risk for cervical cancer. It occurs most often in women over age 30. Each year, approximately 12,000 women in the United States get cervical cancer. The human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. HPV is a common virus that is passed from one person to another during sex.
