Q:
Pre-cancerous growth on the opening of the womb
A: I am sorry to hear of your mum''s situation. Waiting for results is never easy and she is very lucky to haveyou for support at this time. There are many stages between normal and cancerous tissue. The whole rationale for the cervical cancer-screening programmeis to discover early, pre-cancerous changes in the neck of the womb before theyhave the opportunity to becomecancer of the cervix. This is achieved by having regularcervical smears,every three years from age 20 onwards. This schedule is worked out on the basis that it is extremelyunlikely for a woman to go from having a perfectly normal smear to developingan...

Q:
Do I need a cervical screening test if I''m not sexually active?
A: cervical screening is a method of preventing cancer by detecting and treating abnormalities that could lead to cancer in a woman''s cervix (the neck of the womb). If you are under 25 years of age, there is usually no need to have a cervical screening test. This is because it is very rare for women under this age to develop cancer of the cervix. As young women''s bodies, particularly those aged under 20, are still developing, and changes in the cervix are common, a smear test may give an abnormal result when, in fact, nothing is wrong. Therefore, clinical evidence suggests that cervical...

Q:
Does a biopsy tell if a cancer has spread?
A: No, a biopsy will tell you if its a cancer or not, and most lumps are not. If it is it will tell you what kind, and that will suggest the treatment. If you are just about to have a biopsy, ask them for more info. It depends upon what they are doing the biopsy on... A biopsy will tell you and the physician what type of cancer you are dealing with, and that in turn will tell if that type of cancer is predisposed to spreading. A PET scan will tell if the cancer has metastasized(spread). no it does not ,the biopsy serve 2 purposes: 1st it answers the question whether the cells are cancerous or not ,and 2nd (if cancerous)...

Q:
What Are the Different Types of cervical screening?
A: Recommended time between cervical screenings and the method of screening varies between patients, and is dependent upon age, risk factors, and past medical history. One important method of cervical screening is the Papanicolao test. Also known as the Pap test or the Pap smear, it examines cells that have been collected from the cervix, the neck-like area of the uterus. The cells then are placed on a slide and preserved before being sent to a lab for evaluation. A Pap test typically detects abnormal cells that may be a precursor to cancer. Pap smears can detect a condition called cervical dysplasia, which is a pre

Q:
cervical Cytology 101
A: I think moving forward I am always going to request a coloscopy with my pap----assuming I can do so. I have been a mental wreck since my diagnosis and want to move away from any future surprises. My last pap came back as mild, my biop came back as high grade--though of course my doc did not call me back for FOUR months to tell me I need a biopsy You can request a colpo anytime you want -- it''s your body. I requested the HPV DNA test after my first abnormal Pap (ASCUS). When that came back positive, I requested the colpo and had two areas biopsied. They came back CIN II and CIN III. That''s when I started to worry. Of course, I thought I just needed to get a LEEP (which my doctor recommended) and get it done and over with. Two years later, I''m still dealing with it -- but after...

Q:
What Is cervical Cytology?
A: The term cervical relates to the cervix, which is a part of the female reproductive tract found at the lower portion of the uterus. Cytology, on the other hand, denotes the study of cells, including their functions, anatomy, and chemistry. cervical cytology, therefore, is mostly the study of cells found in the cervix of women. It involves screening for the early detection of cervical dysplasia or abnormal cell changes that can sometimes lead to the formation of cervical cancer. A cervical cytology test, which is often called Pap test, is usually performed in the clinic of an obstetrician or gynecologist. It is often...

Q:
What is a cervical Tumor?
A: A cervical tumor is a tumor, or abnormal growth, on the cervix and is a condition that primarily indicates cervical cancer. cervical cancer is the second leading type of cancer in women, behind breast cancer. A cervical tumor results from abnormal cell growth and has been linked to the human papilloma virus, for which there is now a vaccine for certain strains. cervical cancer can be detected with a laboratory test that examines cervical cells obtained through a gynecological procedure called a Pap test. Like other...

Q:
What is producing the cancer?Is it virus?
A: Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer researcher came out with a paper saying that the best cancer and infection fighter as yet found was Interferon, but, at the time, it cost $15,000 a gram. The good part was that Interferon was a product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to make Vit C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA says that the Rda for Vit C is 64 mg a day, just enough to prevent scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vit C and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry, said 1000 mg a day as a minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. On a personal note, I was sick twice a year, for 2 weeks at a time, for 20 years, and was...

Q:
HPV and Dysplasia ..how many diagnosed ended up with cancer?
A: You can get healed of all of it ! Just go to the prayer request section at rhema.org or call 9182581588 ! As a healthcare practioner I can tell you that it is not so much that we have research to show what percentage of HPV results in cancer. But we do have research that shows that 90% of all cervical cancer also involves an HPV infection. So, when an HPV infection is present it means we do paps more often to keep a close watch. If we can detect cervical cancer early, it can save your life. Be sure to have your pap tests done at your healthcare providers requested times. well, I have never had HPV or Dysplasia, and still ended up with
