thesis on cervical cancer screening

The incidence of cervical cancer has decreased by more than 50% since the mid-1970's with the use of Pap test screening.[1] Cervical cancer disproportionately impacts marginalized, uninsured, and rural populations; without efforts to improve adherence to cervical cancer screening guidelines, health disparities may widen.[2, 3] Clinical ...

Introduction. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. In India, it is one the leading causes of mortality among women accounting for 23.3% of all cancer deaths.[] India accounts for about 20% of cervical cancer cases reported from the world.[] More than three-fourth of these patients are diagnosed in advanced stages leading to poor prospects of long term survival and cure.[]

An irregular menstrual cycle was the complaint of 12.78% and abdominal pain of 25.63% of women, while 15.15% were asymptomatic. The Pap smear test of 93.57% of the women was adequately taken, while 6.42% of the individuals had an inadequate sample. The test was negative for malignancy in 48.84%, and 42.66% had infection or inflammation.

Cervical Cancer can be cured, because it has a long pre invasive period. Early diagnosis and treatment of Cervical Cancer at women are crucial for reducing mortality rates. 4 Fortunately Cervical Cancer has a long premalignant period that provides an opportunity for screening and treating before it turns to be invasive Cervical Cancer. Population-based screening with Pap smear or cytology is ...

Introduction. Globally, 570 000 cases of Cervical Cancer and 311000 deaths from the disease occurred in 2018. Cervical Cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, ranking after breast cancer (2.1 million cases), colorectal cancer (0.8 million) and lung cancer (0.7 million). 1 It is the 2nd most leading cause of female cancer among women aged 15-44 years in India.

Use of HPV testing could result in significant changes for screening programs including a later start to screening, extended screening intervals, and use of a test for a sexually acquired infection. These changes may have unintended consequences on a woman's willingness to participate in cervical cancer screening.

To achieve this goal, global scale-up of effective vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV) as well as screening for and treatment of cervical cancer are required. Cervical cancer ...

Cervical cancer screening has been consistently shown to be effective in reducing the incidence rate or the occurrence of new cervical cancer cases and mortality from cervical cancer. Citation 20. Perhaps, cervical cancer screening facilities are limited because of poor infrastructure, staff, poor knowledge about cervical cancer, and illiteracy ...

Introduction Cervical cancer continues to pose a major public health challenge in low-income countries. Cervical cancer screening programs enable early detection and effectively reduce the incidence of cervical cancer as well as late-stage diagnosis and mortality. However, screening uptake remains suboptimal in Uganda. This study assessed correlates of intention to screen for cervical cancer ...

Cervical cancer is a highly preventable disease. Despite this, there were an estimated 604,127 new cases and 341,831 deaths due to cervical cancer globally in 2020, making it the fourth most common cancer among women [].Cervical cancer incidence and mortality disproportionately burden women in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), reflecting a lack of access to effective screening ...

Introduction Despite the higher burden of cervical cases, screening programs in highly affected developing countries remained low. This made the disease to be present at an advanced stage which is almost always fatal, causing enormous pain and suffering for the individual and having significant adverse effects on the welfare of their families and community. Thus, this study aimed to assess ...

Current estimates indicate that every year in Kenya, 2454 new cases of cervical cancer are reported and 1676 deaths from the disease. The screening levels remain low at just 3.2 percent of among women aged 18-69 years compared with 70 percent of women in the developed world.

Background Though cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death globally, its incidence is nearly entirely preventable. Young people have been an international priority for screening as this population has historically been under-screened. However, in both high-income and low-income countries, young people have not been screened appropriately according to country ...

Background: While cervical cancer is a major cause of mortality, its progress and survival rate can be improved through screening. Yet despite their wide availability, women's participation in cervical cancer screening (CCS) programs is often suboptimal, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Besides demographic and organizational ...

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most prevalent cancer in women worldwide. Cervical cancer screening (cytology or human papillomavirus [HPV] testing) and HPV vaccination can decrease cervical cancer incidence and mortality. However, because cytology-based screening has a low sensitivity to detect high-grade cervical lesions, several ...

PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT. Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among females in developing countries, yet the screening rate remains low. Using knowledge, attitude and practice model, this study investigated the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment, availability of health services and prevention methods among women in Chegutu district, Zimbabwe.

By coculturing a cervical cancer cell line with P. bivia, we confirmed that three out of the ten top predicted genes in the transkingdom network (lysosomal associated membrane protein 3 (LAMP3), STAT1, TAP1) -all regulators of immunological pathways- were upregulated by this microorganism. Therefore, we ...
