Women who receive radiation should see their doctor every 3 to 4 months for 2 or 3 years to ensure that treatment is working. After this period, should see their doctors twice a year. It is possible that women who receive radiation can go to the doctor less often. If the disease is in Phase I, 85-90% of women have no evidence of cancer 5 years or more after treatment. Decreases the likelihood of cure when the disease is more advanced (in a higher stage).

Smoking and sexual relations before age 18 and switch many different sexual partners also favors the appearance of these tumors. If the man has had relations with a woman suffering from cervical cancer increases the risk because they are more likely to have been infected with a virus.

For cervical cancer, older age, having suffered hiperplapsia endometrial (uncontrolled growth of endometrial cells), hormone replacement therapy during menopause or previous colorectal cancer are also risk factors. Moreover, the results of the latest studies say that obese women are at greater risk and the white are more likely than African origin.

A study by British and French researchers has concluded that the use of the pill as a contraceptive may promote the development of cervical cancer. And it is that this drug does not prevent infection during sexual intercourse, from viruses such as human papilloma virus, or bacteria such as chlamydia, whose infection can lead to cancer.

This risk increases with the length of time that has consumed the pill. Feminists who have used oral contraceptives for less than five years have a 10% greater chance of having a tumor of the cervix, while those who have used five to nine years, the percentage may reach 60%.

Getting the vaccine to immunize against human papilloma virus before starting a sexual activity could also seems to prevent or at least reduce the chances of contracting cervical cancer, according to recent studies.

Diagnosis

There are no screening tests for endometrial cancer in women with no symptoms. However, most women with endometrial cancer have symptoms when the cancer is in its early stages. There are several methods used to detect the presence of endometrial cancer.

• Endometrial biopsy: A test in which it is extracted and examined under a microscope a small amount of tissue from the lining of the uterus. This test is usually the first step to detect the presence of abnormal cells.
• Transvaginal Ultrasound: A test that uses sound waves to examine the thickness of the lining of the uterus and the size of this body.
• Hysteroscopy: A surgical procedure where you use a thin instrument that transmits a light to see inside the uterus or surgeries.
• Dilation and curettage: A procedure that opens the cervix to gently scrape or vacuum inside the uterus.

For many women, the Pap test may be integrated with regular medical examination, however, this test does not always detect endometrial cancer. In fact, the results of the Pap smear for most women with endometrial cancer are normal. Endometrial cancer can be diagnosed only by examination of tissue from the uterus.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States. Approximately 2 to 3 women in 100 will have endometrial cancer during their lifetime.

Endometrial cancer is rare in women under 40 years. The incidence of this cancer is higher in women around age 60. Some women are more likely than others (see box). Certain risk factors may be related to estrogen use. Estrogen is a hormone produced in the ovaries of women. You can manage it after menopause when women’s ovaries stop producing estrogen (hormone therapy). If taken alone, estrogen increases the risk of endometrial cancer if the woman still has a uterus. When estrogen is given along with another hormone, progesterone, women are protected against this risk.

Other names: Uterine Cancer

The uterus is a major female reproductive organ. It’s where a baby grows during pregnancy. There are many types of uterine cancer. The most common type begins in the Endometrium, the lining of the uterus. This cancer is sometimes called endometrial cancer.

Uterine cancer symptoms include:

* Vaginal bleeding or unusual
* Difficulty urinating
* Pelvic pain
* Pain during sex

Uterine cancer usually occurs after menopause. Obesity and hormone replacement with estrogen also increases the risk. Treatment varies depending on your general health, cancer progression and whether hormones affect growth. Treatment is usually a hysterectomy, a surgery to remove the uterus. Other options include hormone therapy and radiotherapy.

Apparently washed ripe bananas, TNF produces anti-cancer substance Turns out that bananas are ripe, produce TNF agent antidotes bad cells In the future you may realize in the future …… .. will shortage of bananas in the stock market!

Mature banana skin surface will be many more spots (spots) black, it will protect the disease from our lives is increasing. Japanese people like to eat a banana is not no reason, adults, children also like to eat bananas ~ very easy, 5 fruits every day, the disease would stay away from

Based on the results of scientific research the Japanese scientists found, the content of a chemical in bananas that serves to counteract the TNF cancer (mean cells / tumor).
In addition, the riper the banana the higher benefit to ward off cancer. Senji professor of Tokyo University of Japan to conduct research using animals, comparing the results with feeding bananas, grapes, apples, watermelon, jackfruit, pear, and various kinds of fruit for the test, the results prove the fruit among the best banana Benefits, can add white blood cells, can replace cells damaged, but it also produces substances that counteract TNF cells evil.

Cervical cancer is? “Cervical Cancer” is a malignant tumor that grows in areas Cervical (cervix), which is an area in which female reproduction organ is the entrance to the uterus located between the uterus (uterus) and hole intercourse (vagina). This type of cancer occurs when cells in the area split an uncontrollable and become abnormal. If this continues it will form a mass of tissue called a tumor. “Tumor” can be benign or malignant. If the tumor becomes malignant, then the condition was known as Cervical Cancer.

This type of cancer is the cancer most infected in Indonesia, even by the existing data, Indonesia is the second country after China with Cervical Cancer sufferers in the world. It’s ironic because this type of cancer is also commonly called Cervical cancer, including cancer of early and easy to detectionand can be prevented and treated before developing into an advanced stage.

99% Cervical cancer is caused by infection with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Infections caused by these viruses is a very easy going. An estimated three-quarters of the number of people who never had sex, male or female, experience. HPV is a virus that can cause genital warts in the Region (condyloma Akuminata), which is transmitted through sexual contact. HPV is often suspected as the cause of the abnormal changes in cervical cells with rahim.Sama as flu, most HPV infections go away on its own, so people never knew. Only a small portion of HPV infections become chronic infection, and then develop into cancer.

Uterus cancer is a malignant tumor of the endometrium (lining of the uterus).

Uterine cancer usually occurs after menopause, most often strike women aged 50-60 years.
Cancer can spread (metastase) locally and to various parts of the body (cervical canal, fallopian tubes, ovaries, the area around the uterus, the lymph system or to other parts of the body through blood vessels).

CAUSE

The cause is certainly not known, but this disease seems to involve increased levels of estrogen.
One of the normal function of estrogen is to stimulate the formation of the epithelial layer of the uterus. A large number of estrogen are injected to laboratory animals causes endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.

Women who suffer from cervical cancer seems to have certain risk factors. (risk factor is something that will increase the possibility of a person to suffer from a disease).
Women who have risk factors do not always suffer from cervical cancer, whereas many cervical cancer patients who had no risk factors. Sometimes it can not be explained why a woman suffering from uterine cancer, while other women who do not.

Research has found several risk factors in cervical cancer: Read the rest of this entry »
