Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

1. Cervical polyp. A cervical polyp is a tear-shaped or lobular structures that appears red, purple, or flesh-colored located on the cervix that is usually smaller than three centimeters (Laufer, 2016). Chronic inflammation of the cervical canal and hormone factors may increase the rise for polyps to develop. Often times the cause is unknown. A patient with a cervical polyp will present with painless spotting that occurs after sexual intercourse or irregularly during the menstrual cycle. A…

Case Study: Cervical Cancer Epidemiology and health is concerned with the study of the distribution and the determinants of health and disease in human populations. This case study will review cervical cancer, firstly it will outline and define the condition. It will then present up-to-date data describing the impact, prevalence and mortality rates of the condition before moving on to discuss the distribution and trends of the disease among the Scottish female population. Finally it will…

DISCUSSION The detection of preinvasive and invasive cervical epithelial abnormalities cervical Pap smears has become a very important screening test. This screening test is a simple, inexpensive and reliable method for screening of female population which greatly reduces the morbidity and mortality associated with cervical carcinoma, if detected in its precancerous stage. The present study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of Pap test as initial screening test and confirm the diagnosis…

the counterpoint argument. The “counterpoint” article provides several valid points to why cervical screening in women older than 65 years of age should not be recommended. The article stated that preventive resources, such as Pap smears and screening, should be directed to high-risk population, “where real benefit can be obtained (Isidean et al., 1025). In unscreened populations, the peak period of cervical cancer risk amongst women is estimated to be around 35-55 years, which is still 10-year…

and their teacher to come along side the high-risk teens (PHSW, n.d.). Finally, cancer epidemiology is a subspecialty that is concern with cancer, the precursor to cancer such as gastritis can lead to stomach cancer, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia can lead to cervical cancer (Lilienfeld, Pedersen, & Dowd, 1968). Cancer epidemiologist are like detective striding to work with male and females through health and the prevention, and cancer screen such as PSA levels in men, and PAP smears in…

et al., 2012). Worldwide, cervical cancer is the 3rd most commonly diagnosed cancer and is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in women with a higher mortality rate in developing nations (Handler et al., 2015). In the United States, it is estimated that 14-20 million people are infected each year and there are about 11,967 new HPV-associated cancers each year (CDC, 2014b). In 2012, there were 12,042 cases of cervical cancer diagnosed and 4,074 deaths from cervical cancer (CDC, 2015b).…
