Treatment Of Cervical Cancer

Smears, colonoscopy... From diagnosis to treatment, the treatment of lesions and cancer of the cervix contains many terms barbarians that we propose to clarify. Overview of the management. Uterine cervix cancer treatment on virtually all cervical cancers of the uterus due to infection by a papilloma virus says. Most often, the body will spontaneously eliminate the virus, but sometimes the infection persists.
Injury to cause cervical cell abnormalities in an area privileged and vulnerable: the transformation zone. The infected cells then undergo morphological changes that are detected during smears. It is these anomalies that can potentially develop into cancer.
Smear diagnosis

In cases of abnormal smears, colposcopy may be performed. This examination of the cervix, performed with a magnifying glass, you can view the lesions as "spots" which can then be removed. Using these biopsies, we can specify the exact nature of injuries:
Low-grade lesions called condyloma plan yet - mild dysplasia or CIN grade 1;
High-grade lesion called moderate to severe dysplasia or CIN grade 2 or 3;.
Sometimes abnormal cells found are nonspecific. These abnormalities usually reactive not underpinned by a real injury. These anomalies are also called ASCUS (atypical cells of undefined nature).
These lesions are seen in varying degrees as abnormalities in cancer risk. Not detected, they can make the bed of cervical cancer in a time relatively long.
The treatment of lesions caused by HPV
When we talk about treatment, we prefer not to speak of HPV infection but rather to damage induced by HPV. Indeed, there is no treatment of latent infection. The management target and the consequences and effects of viruses on the mucous membrane, that is to say damage caused by the virus:
In the case of condyloma acuminata (genital warts or rooster combs) available to stimulate local immunity in the form of cream and medical treatment of destructive lesions. When the lesions are extensive or located on several sites (anus, vagina, cervix, vulva), we may use their destruction laser which can treat all abnormalities in one. This gesture is made when the operating room with anesthesia. The treatment of genital warts by chemical or surgical methods gives good results in terms of healing and aesthetically. The full success of management depends on the location of warts, their scope and immune profile of the patient.
In the case of mild dysplasia (CIN1), the treatment does not always needed because these lesions can disappear spontaneously after a few months. If for personal reasons the patient wishes to be treated, when these lesions are located outside of the cervix are destroyed by laser vaporization. With this technique, the success of treatment is about 85 to 90%. This simple gesture is performed as an outpatient with or without local anesthesia;
