Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Cervical cancer is malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area. It may present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in its advanced stages. Treatment consists of surgery (including local excision) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease. Pap smear screening can identify potentially precancerous changes. Treatment of high grade changes can prevent the development of cancer. 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 is a necessary factor in the development of nearly 70% of cases of cervical cancer. HPV vaccine effective against the two strains of HPV that cause the most cervical cancer has been licensed in the U.S, Canada and the EU. These two HPV strains together are currently responsible for approximately 70% of all cervical cancers. Since the vaccine only covers some high-risk types, women should seek regular Pap smear screening, even after vaccination. The naming and classification of cervical carcinoma percursor lesions has changed many times over the 20th century. The World Health Organization classification system was descriptive of the lesions, naming them mild, moderate or severe dy...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=53338 ... Read more

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on cervical cancer: signs and symptoms, diagnosis, lab tests, treatment and management options, and ongoing clinical research. Every aspect of the disease is thoroughly covered. Cervical cancer forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope). Coverage includes treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and vaccine therapy.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor references and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. Documents from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Medline, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) are included. In addition to disease-specific information, there is extensive coverage of the broad subject of cancer and its prevention and treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, advanced treatments, managing side effects). There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.Since navigating the Internet to find medical information can be confusing, our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites 2009" has updated links to the 67 best sites! Weblinks let you quickly check for the latest clinical updates directly from the government and the best commercial portals, news sites, reference/textbook/non-commercial portals, and health organizations.Comprehensive cancer coverage includes: FDA Office of Oncology Drug Products, Oncology Tools - approved drugs, patient liaison * Dictionary of Cancer Terms (4000 items) * Division of Cancer Biology * Cancer Bulletin - archive of informative articles from NCI publication since 2004 * Cancers by Body Location, System * A-Z list of cancers * Clinical Trials * Complementary and Alternative Medicine * Coping - Complications and Side Effects - fatigue, pain, cardiopulmonary syndromes, cognitive disorders and delirium; fever, sweats, hot flashes; gastrointestinal complications, hypercalcemia; lymphedema; pruritus; sexuality and reproduction; sleep; nutrition; eating hints; emotions, anxiety, depression, adjustment, post-traumatic stress disorder; substance abuse; transitional care planning; radiation, home care, when cancer returns; Care for the Caregiver; Survivorship - end of life issues, advance directives, coping with advanced cancer, Hospice, Loss, Grief, and Bereavement * Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis * Drug Development and Approval * Approved Oncology Drugs * Drug Dictionary - technical definitions and synonyms * Drug Information Summaries * Factsheets by cancer type, risk factors and possible causes, prevention, detection, diagnosis, therapy, support, coping, resources, tobacco and smoking cessation * Prevention, Genetics * Publications - specific cancers, treatment, trials, coping, testing, risks, nutrition * Screening and Testing * Support - organizations, finances and insurance * Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, Surgery, Cryosurgery, Laser, Hyperthermia, Targeted * Understanding Cancer - sixty-one publications * CDC Division of Cancer Prevention and Control * SEER Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results * Cancer Health Disparities * Cancer Centers Program. ...

Description:
Serbia employs opportunistic approaches to cervical cancer screening, leading to inequitable health care access. To better understand the health care needs of women, we investigated their knowledge of and perceived barriers to cervical cancer screening. Data reported in the paper arise from nine focus group discussions with 62 women from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. They were recruited in two cities with contrasting social settings, Belgrade, the Serbian capital, and a regional town, Smederevo. Thematic analysis identified that the interplay of social and personal barriers influenced women's poor presentation for screening. Inadequate public health education, lack of patient-friendly health services, socio-cultural health beliefs, gender roles, and personal difficulties were the most salient barriers to screening. We suggest how within the context of opportunistic screening patient education may be employed. The introduction of compulsory cervical cancer screening, suggested by some participants, is also discussed. ... Read more

Description:
The social and institutional context of health-care reform in Eastern Europe has important implications for cervical cancer screening and prevention. The incidence and mortality from cervical cancer in Bulgaria and Romania have risen, which is in sharp contrast to the steady decline in most other countries in Europe during the last 2 decades. To analyze these dynamics we conducted a multi-component study of health systems and psychosocial aspects of cervical cancer screening in Bulgaria and Romania. Following the disappearance of organized preventive programs, the initiative for cervical cancer screening has shifted to providers and clients and depends on the way they perceive their responsibility and interpret their own and each other's roles in prevention. We focus on how providers construct women and their role in prevention of cervical cancer through their accounts. The analysis identified several discourses and themes in providers' constructions of women's responsibility for prevention of disease. These include responsible women as 'intelligent' and 'cultured'; non-attenders as 'irresponsible' and 'negligent'; women as needing monitoring and sanctioning; and women as 'victims' of health-care reform. We discuss the implications for health-care reform and health promotion. ... Read more
