Cancer or carcinoma

What is Ca Cervix (Cervical Carcinoma)?

Is a cancer that attacks the cervix (the cervix). Cancer or carcinoma itself is a medical term that is usually used to refer to a mass / tumor / lump that has a malignant nature. Mass / tumor cell growth is a disease in which the body shape, nature, and also different from normal cells kinematics other body. The growth of cancer cells are generally very wild, out of control normal cell growth.

What is the cause?

In general, the causes of cancer can be divided into 3 groups namely,

1. Kongenial or genetic abnormalities (due to damage to genes in the body)

2. Carcinogens (substances or materials that can cause cancer)

Carcinogens are divided into 2 types,

Chemical (natural carcinogens:

a. Organic: aflatoxin found in peanut seeds grown fungus aspergillus who can cause liver cancer, nitrosamines in food and beverage,

b. inorganic: abscess, cadmium, plumbum).

b. Man-made: industrial materials such as paints, petrochemicals, rubber, drugs such as arsenic, chlornaphazine.

In addition, acid cigarettes can also cause cancer because inside there are many carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic amines and aromatichydrocarbon.
Hormones can also cause cancer in several organs that growth influences hormones such as breast, uterus (womb) and the prostate.


3. The Environment

- Occupation: radiology laboratory, as coal mines, petroleum
- Place of residence: the air which contains radium, arsenic, nickel
- Lifestyle: diet food, liquor, smoking, frequent exposure to sunlight, etc..

Causes of Cervical Ca allegedly associated with the HPV virus (human papilomma virus) mainly variants 16 and 18 and herpes simplex virus infections of variant 2.

Who is at risk?

There are several factors that can increase a woman has a risk (predesposisi) higher than other women for cervical cancer. As these factors namely,

a. The girl who did coitus / jima 'first (coitarche) when she was less than 17 years.

b. Women with a history of parity (childbirth) high / many (usually more than 5 times the birth) combined with long labor, which are too close (less than 2 years)

c. Women who frequently change sexual partners (promiscuity)

d. Sexual Hygine ugly (do not maintain the cleanliness of the genitals)

e. Women who experience viral infection Humman Papilloma Virus

f. Women who smoke.

How Occurrence of Cervical Ca?

In basic cancer occurs because of an abnormal growth of body cells. In the case of cervical ca, occurs because the cells making up the cervix (epithelial cells) that normally turn into abnormal shapes. Anatomically, the cervix is ​​divided into 2 parts namely eksoserviks / lower portion (the outside) and the endocervical canal to the cervix (inside). Each section was covered by the drafters of cells called epithelial cells. On the eksoserviks coated by flattened epithelial cells plated (squamous compleks), while in endocervical epithelial cells covered by cuboidal / cylindrical layer of ciliated short. In border areas there is both an area called the "squamo-columnar junction (SJC)". Well on the part of this transition, the epithelial cells that normally would have metaplasi (se becomes abnormal changes) This is because the cells that overlap each other and urgent, so the cells when tersensivitas could turn into abnormal cells. This is the basis of the occurrence of cervical ca.
Could Spread?

Cervical cancer can spread to various other body pepul. This occurs through the spread of limfogen (via lymph nodes). These cancer cells will go into the lymph nodes and then will participate this. deployment circulation of lymph to the area around the well can occur as the uterus (womb), pelvis (call) or vesica urinary (bladder). The spread of cancer to distant sites (in medical terms is called metastasis) can affect organs such as lungs, liver, kidney, bone and brain. From the spread of this stage of the cancer can be known whether early-stage (stage he, Ib, IIa) or advanced stage (IIb, III, and IV). The higher the stage, the smaller the recovery rate as well. Stage IV is also called as our terminal stage / end of which has spread to distant organs and the life expectancy of about <10%.


What signs and symptoms?

1. Contact bleeding ie bleeding after intercourse. This usually is a common sign that is often encountered. Bleeding that occurs due to the fragility of cervical tissue. When coitus, friction will generally occur on the walls of the cervix. Because of the rich network of blood vessels are very fragile, so easy bleeding occurs.

2. Whiteness is also a symptom that is often found. This whiteness over time will stink by because the infection process and necrosis (death) of the network due to cancer.

3. vagina great pain and surrounding areas or in the lower abdomen.

4. Anemia (due to severe vaginal)]

5. Symptoms caused by the presence of metastases / spread to other organs, for example,

- Lung: long cough, pleural effusion, pneumonitis

- Liver: jaundice (yellow color on the body), hepatomegaly (enlarged liver), acites (fluid in the abdominal cavity)

- The brain: coma, loss of vision.

- Bone: bone pain, bone

"STANDARD" Danger Signs and Symptoms of Cancer

Q: bleeding or unnaturally out mucus from the body in the form,

- Coughing up blood: ca lung

- Vomiting blood: ca stomach or liver

- CHAPTER Blood: ca rectum / anus or colon / bowel

- Vaginal bleeding: cervical ca)

A: The tool digestion is disturbed or there is difficulty swallowing more and more weight (ca eosofagus, thyroid)

Q: Tumors of the breast or elsewhere (testis, intestine, muscle, etc.)

O: constipation or change in bowel and bladder habits

K: sore or ulcer that will not heal (main symptom advanced stage of skin cancer) which is usually the sign of the most typical is Erus continuous bleeding from these ulcers.

A: Andeng-andeng (nevus) is changed, enlarged and more black (plus itching, ulcers, bleeding, hair loss all there be) This refers to the skin ca.

N: tone of voice so hoarse or a cough that never healed.


Ensuring that how Cervical Ca?

Diagnosis can be established with signs and symptoms complained of, yet a definite diagnosis of cervical ca enforced through cytology (cell examination) by means of a biopsy (taking part in the cervical tissue). From the biopsy will be seen clearly serve targeted cancer cells are.

How workarounds?

Handling cases of cancer are generally differentiated based on staged. At an early stage can still be done with surgery. After surgery continued with radiotherapy (radiation). In later stages, is generally not done surgery. But with chemotherapy (drugs) and radiotherapy. In stage IV (IVa and IVb) are generally given only treatment is palliative / tilt complaints is not to cure. This is because the spread of cancer cells that have a systemic / holistic. So radiotherapy treatment end of patients with this stage.

Prognosis how his recovery?

The prognosis (future picture / hope) recovery from cervical ca is determined also by various factors namely,

- Age of the patient

- The general state of the patient (including nutritional status)

- Degree of malignancy / stadium

- Histological hallmark of cancer cells

- The ability of experts in handling

- Treatment existing facilities.

In the cervical ca stage IV prognosis is generally et night or bad.

Is there any way Early Detection of Cervical Ca?

Early detection is the attempt to discover the existence of which was still curable cancer (early stage). Early detection of cervical ca be done by women with screenin examination test that is in a way that may already be quite familiar: PAP smear or with the most recent methods, namely the IFA method.
Who Should Perform Screening?

Screening tests should be performed by women who are sexually active also for women who have risk factors / predesposisi as listed above. Screening can be done in hospital by a doctor or a special content areas health facilities are available as laboratory screening service therein.

Better Prevent It?

Anyone would agree with the statement "to prevent the disease is better than cure". This is precisely what we do as a initial undertakings against cervical ca. How do I? For those of you who are married, clean the area and keep it in order to remain feminine hygine is important. Cleanliness of your partner's genitals should also be considered as well (the true king Rasululloh command, which in jima 'one by jima' other was mediated by wudlu_ and should clean up his cock anyway). Because it's possible the disease germs present in a less clean genitals. Remain faithful to your partner (not replacing-pair change!).

Say NO to Cancer!

Yuupp ... say no to cancer! How come? Certainly by keeping our life style. also 4 healthy 5 perfect food is much healthier and beneficial to our bodies, compared to junk food or instant food department in which there are many chemicals and preservatives. Avoid cigarette! Especially for those of you men (and possibly women) because really there are dozens of ingredients in cigarettes is harmful to our bodies! No free sex! That it must and should benar2 delete especially with multiple partners! You be faithful to your partner ... ..
Similarly, a brief description of cervical ca. Hopefully this bit of information can be useful and can add to our knowledge (especially women) on various matters related to health (especially reproductive health equipment).
