| Cervical cancer is one of the
most common cancers to affect women, Pap smears are important for women because
the early stages of cervical cancer normally produce no symptoms. Cervical
cancer has well defined pre-cancerous stages. Beginning with cervical dysplasia,
the appearance of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix. Many cervical
dysplasias form in response to infection with certain strains of HPV human
papilloma virus, a sexually transmitted virus that causes genital warts. While
women who have had multiple sex partners have a higher risk of cervical cancer
(as do those who begin sexual relations early in life), even women who are in
lifelong monogamous relationships may develop the disease. Another factor that
increases the risk of cervical dysplasia develops into cancer is use of birth
control pills. . |

Oral contraceptives contain progesterone as well as amounts of
estrogen. These hormones enable HPV to cause cancers and to poison gene p53,
which is the gene which ordinarily ensures that genetically defective or
cancerous cells do not multiply. While HPV associated cancers may be started by
estrogen, the hormone does not stimulate their growth once established. However,
cervical cancer not caused by HPV infection is normally stimulated by the
hormone estrogen. In these cases, reducing estrogen levels allows gene p53 to
keep up with cell growth. Other risk factors for cervical cancer include: a
history of sexually transmitted disease, infertility,
nutritional deficiencies, smoking,
first sexual intercourse before age 18, and having had more than 5 pregnancies

| Cervical cancer is the medical term for a malignant neoplasm
arising from cells originating in the cervix uteri. One of the most common
symptoms of cervical cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding, but in some cases
there might not be any obvious symptoms until the cancer has progressed to an
advanced stage. Treatment usually consists of surgery including local excision
in early stages, and chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy in more advanced stages of
the disease.
Cancer screening using a Pap smear can identify precancerous and potentially
precancerous changes in cervical cells and tissue. Treatment of high-grade
changes can prevent the development of cancer in many victims.
In developed countries, the widespread use of cervical screening programs has
reduced the incidence of invasive cervical cancer by 50% or more.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection seems to be a needed factor for the
development of almost all cases 90%+ of cervical cancer. HPV vaccines appear
effective against the two strains of this large family of viruses that currently
cause approximately 70% of cases of cervical cancer have been licensed in the
United States, Canada, Australia and the European Union. Since the vaccines only
cover some of the cancer causing high-risk forms of HPV, women should seek
regular Pap smear screening, even after vaccination.
The cervix is the narrow portion of the uterus where it joins with the top of
the vagina. Most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, arising in the squamous
"flattened" epithelial cells that line the cervix. Adenocarcinoma,
arising in glandular epithelial cells is the second most common type. Very
rarely, cancer can arise in other types of cells in the cervix. |

You would not think of exposing yourself to an Atomic Bomb fallout or
excessive X-rays. But not getting enough vitamins and minerals is just as
dangerous. Cells in your body not getting their vitamins and minerals suffer
both DNA and mitochondrial damage. These cells under a microscope look like they
have been hit with radiation. This type of damage may cause you to age faster
and can lead to Cancer
and other degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and others.
