Integration of the viral genome into the host cell genome is…

It was clear that medical research had begun to soar, but the balance between the exploration of…

Introduction: Cervical cancer is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissue of the cervix. Cervical cancer develops slowly over time, before the cancer shows in the cervix the cells of the cervix goes through changes like dysplasia. Meaning abnormal cells begin to appear in the cervical tissue. After a while the abnormal cells become cancer cells, and then they start to spread all over the cervix. Cervical cancer begins in cells on the surface of the cervix, it can become a threat to…

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…
