Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year more than 180,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women in the U.S. If cancer is detected when small and local, treatment options are less dangerous, intrusive, and costly-and more likely to lead to a cure. Yet those simple facts belie the complexity of developing and disseminating acceptable techniques for breast cancer diagnosis. Even the most exciting new technologies remain clouded with uncertainty. Mammography and Beyond provides a comprehensive and up-to-date perspective on the state of breast cancer screening and diagnosis and recommends steps for developing the most reliable breast cancer detection methods possible. This book reviews the dramatic expansion of breast cancer awareness and screening, examining the capabilities and limitations of current and emerging technologies for breast cancer detection and their effectiveness at actually reducing deaths. The committee discusses issues including national policy toward breast cancer detection, roles of public and private agencies, problems in determining the success of a technique, availability of detection methods to specific populations of women, women's experience during the detection process, cost-benefit analyses, and more. Examining current practices and specifying research and other needs, Mammography and Beyond will be an indispensable resource to policy makers, public health officials, medical practitioners, researchers, women's health advocates, and concerned women and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We undertook this systematic review to assist the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) in updating its 2003 recommendation on cervical cancer screening. During the planning phase of this evidence review on cervical cancer screening, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality decided to fund a separate modeling study to be conducted simultaneously. The USPSTF determined that the scope for both the systematic review and the modeling study would focus on important clinical questions that could inform effective use of screening in practice. This systematic review focuses on when to begin screening and on updating test accuracy and harms data on liquid-based cytology (LBC) and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, either alone or in combination with cytology. The modeling study focuses on the effectiveness of strategies that use different ages at which to begin screening and different screening intervals. These two reports are intended to provide the USPSTF with complementary information to update its recommendation on cervical cancer screening. Using the USPSTF's methods we developed an analytic framework and five key questions (KQs) to guide our literature search. These KQs include: KQ1: When should cervical cancer screening begin, and does this vary by screening technology or by age, sexual history, or other patient characteristics? KQ2: To what extent does liquid-based cytology improve sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic yield and reduce indeterminate results and inadequate samples compared to conventional cervical cytology? KQ3: What are the benefits of using HPV testing as a screening test, either alone or in combination with cytology, compared with not testing for HPV? KQ4: What are the harms of liquid-based cytology? KQ5: What are the harms of using HPV testing as a screening test, either alone or in combination with cytology?This report's scope differs from the 2002 USPSTF evidence report in several ways. KQ1, which was not included in the 2002 evidence report, addresses when cervical cancer screening should begin. Both LBC and automated screening technologies were evaluated in the prior review, and the evidence was determined to be insufficient to recommend for or against the use of these technologies in cervical cancer screening programs. For this review, we updated the evidence regarding LBC (KQ2) and focused on studies that evaluated either ThinPrep or SurePath, which are both FDA approved. The previous review evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of the HPV test for detection of histologically proven HSIL and LSIL. The authors also evaluated the use of the HPV test as a tool to facilitate triage of women with abnormal cytology. The current review expanded the scope of KQ3 to evaluate the evidence regarding the use of HPV testing in the following scenarios: 1. Primary screening with HPV test alone. 2. HPV testing with cytology triage of positive HPV (reflex cytology). 3. Combination HPV and cytology testing (co-testing). 4. Cytology testing with HPV triage of positive cytology (reflex HPV). We addressed one contextual question that evaluated the efficacy of screening in women older than age 65 years according to the USPSTF's specified nonsystematic approach. The previous review addressed this question systematically, and the USPSTF recommended against routinely screening women older than age 65 years, based on limited evidence regarding the benefits of continued screening in these women. We did not update the direct evidence for screening in women after a hysterectomy because the prior USPSTF recommendation to discontinue screening after hysterectomy for benign disease is clearly supported. Because the HPV vaccine is so new, data to determine the long-term efficacy of the vaccine or how the HPV vaccine will affect screening is limited. Therefore, the USPSTF did not include a KQ addressing the impact of the HPV vaccine on cervical cancer screening.

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few years have seen enormous progress in terms of our understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical cancer (particularly with respect to the role of human papillomaviruses), and this has opened up new avenues for prevention. Additionally, there have been further refinements of existing technologies for cervical cancer control. To read about the state of the art on cervical cancer, health professionals have to locate individual articles and reviews of specific topics. In recognition of this, we propose to produce a book that will bring together in one place reviews of the contribution of descriptive and analytical epidemiological research to our understanding of cervical cancer etiology, as well as research on the application of that knowledge (plus knowledge gained from basic science investigations) to prevention through screening, chemoprevention, and vaccine development. The proposed book will include authoritative reviews by scientists working on the disciplines that are pertinent to the topic of the epidemiology and prevention of cervical cancer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervical cancer is one of the few readily preventable forms of cancer. Although the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear has had an enormous impact on the incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer over the past four decades, concerns over false-negative rates and their adverse effects on patients have driven the search for strategies to improve the Pap test, and development of emerging technologies. The use of particular cell collection devices has minimal effect on smear quality. Instead, training for smear takers and feedback on their performance from laboratories would significantly improve smear quality. Automated methods of monolayer preparation that produce cleaner, more evenly dispersed smears appear to improve detection of abnormal cases. However, further analysis is required to balance this gain with the high cost of equipment and interpretive training of staff. Automated devices for the rescreening of slides previously examined by humans are more effective, but also more costly than manual rescreening. Both of the automated systems compared in the economic evaluation appear to be of similar efficacy, but dissimilar cost. The potential role of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing in screening for cervical cancer depends upon clarification of the link between HPV infection and invasive disease, and the ability to overcome cost and technical barriers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the cervix. World-wide, it is the second most common cancer of women. It may be present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in advanced stages, which has made cervical cancer the focus of intense screening efforts. Most scientific studies point to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection responsible for 90% of the cases of cervical cancer. There are 7 most common types of HPV - 16, 18, 31, 33, 42, 52 and 58. Types 16 and 18 being the most common cause of the cancer. Treatment is with surgery (including local exicision) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease. This book presents cutting edge research in this field. This involves, programs for cancer screening, alternative approaches to cervical cancer prevention, HPV/Co-Infections and Host Genetic Profiles, Small Cell Carcinoma of the Uterine Cervix, Indicators of HPV-induced carcinogenesis, functional genomics as a tool for understanding cervical cancer, histone deacetylase inhibitors, Chinese women and cervical cancer and cervical cancer in Northeastern Thailand.
