CERVICAL CANCER

CERVICAL CANCER

Qafa e mitrës është pjesa e poshtme e mitrës. Kanceri I  qafës së mitrës shkaktohet nga një virus i quajtur HPV. Virusi përhapet përmes kontaktit seksual. Shumica e trupave të grave janë në gjendje të luftojnë infeksionin HPV. Por ndonjëherë virusi mund të shkaktoj kancer. Ju jeni në rrezik më të lartë nëse pini duhan, keni pasur shumë fëmijë, përdorni pilula të kontrollit të lindjes për një kohë të gjatë ose keni infeksion me HIV.
Cervical cancer may not cause any symptoms at first. Later, you may have pelvic pain or bleeding from the vagina. It usually takes several years for normal cells in the cervix to turn into cancer cells. Your health care provider can find abnormal cells by doing a Pap test to examine cells from the cervix. You may also have an HPV test. If your results are abnormal, you may need a biopsy or other tests. By getting regular screenings, you can find and treat any problems before they turn into cancer.
Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination. The choice of treatment depends on the size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread and whether you would like to become pregnant someday.
Vaccines can protect against several types of HPV, including some that can cause cancer.
