Cervical Cancer (Postmenopausal :female_sign: (Reproductive age :female…
Cervical Cancer
-
-
How to manage the early stage?
- Under :microscope: on a "culpa", look for any abnormalities of the cervix.
- Chemical stains
- Vessels, punctate hemorrhages, acetyl white changes w/ clear white borders, mosaicism: abnormal
Tx: Local ablative therapy
- LEEP ( hot wire)
- Cryo :snowflake:
Can't see lesion? Endocervical
- take out everything: Cone Biopsy
What to do w/ a positive Pap? How to interpret?
- even though adolescents :girl::skin-tone-2: get HPV infections, they will clear the HPV and never have a problem w/ it. (i.e. won't have it as an adult)
- most :female_sign:get Asx screen: 21yo repeat q3y
- (even if no sex activity)
- if > 30yo :woman::skin-tone-2: & getting HPV testing w/ Pap: q5y
- :octagonal_sign: @ 65yo :older_woman::skin-tone-2:, unless pos. Paps
Screen: Asx
Pap
:green_cross:Normal Pap
- continue q3y (or other regimen if indicated)
-
-
- Rates of Cervical ca are dropping 2/2 increased surveillance.
- Effective vaccine against cancer = HPV
- HPV is main cause of Cervical Ca
- Bimodal distribution of ca :crab: in 30's and 60's
Review of Path
Pt: Asx Screen = pap abnormal
- or postcoital bleed (repro age :woman::skin-tone-2:)
- postmenopausal bleeding :older_woman::skin-tone-2:
f/u: find ca? Need Staging
Clinical exam: where ca :crab:is relative to vagina, cardinal ligament, & pelvic sidewall
Tx: Depends
- ASCUS= HPV DNA testing
- Ecto lesion: local ablation (LEEP/Cryo :snowflake:)
- Endo lesion: cone biopsy
- IIA or better: Local resection is better (curative)
- IIB or worse: debulk & CTX (-platin) & rad :radioactive_sign:
Prophy: Vaccine vs. HPV: sig. reduce amount of Cervical Ca.
- Gardisil: girls :girl::skin-tone-2: 11-26yo ; boys :boy::skin-tone-4: 11-21
- can extend range to as young as 9, late as 26 :male_sign: (but these are outside CDC rec's)
