High Incidence Of Breast And Cervical Cancer

Medical technology is advancing rapidly with each passing minute. It is becoming more urgent for health care facilities to invest in equipment that is current and state of the art. Behind these advancements are proven statistics that certain equipment is a necessity when diagnosing and treating patients. We, as health care workers, owe it to our patients to have the best possible equipment in our facilities. Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer has become the most common cancer among women in the United States. Breast cancer does not discriminate. It is one of the

Early detection of breast and cervical cancer reduced the burden of disease in women. The practices of Screening shown reduce the level of mortality and improve quality of life. The Every Woman Matters (EWM)stared in 1992 it is a federally-funded program designed to remove barrier to early screening by providing awareness and make screening more financially accessible to woman who have limited or no health insurance. The eligible women receive pay for office visits with associated clinical breast examination, pelvic examination, Papanicolaou smear test, and lab fees (Backer et al., 2004). Age-appropriate mammography and limited number of diagnostic test is also covered under program. In this paper I will

In today’s society, women are not getting their mammograms done because they feel they are not necessary or because they are afraid of the results of the mammograms. Since women do not get their mammograms done, they are exposed to breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, women who get mammograms, reduce about “15% to 20% in mortality from breast cancer” (“National Cancer Institute” 1). If women would increase the rate of getting mammograms, there will be less deaths in women.

The Every Woman Matters Program was created as a tactic to fix the current suboptimal levels of cancer screening for women in Nebraska. Researchers found that even though low income level women understood the importance of these types of screening, this specific type of comprehension did very little to push women towards getting screened for these types of cancers (Backer et al., 2005). This is of course understandable: women in low income households are more likely to have a host of other stressors and anxieties regarding day to day existence and the task of making ends meet, than women in high income groups. Daily survival getting to work, taking care of one's kids and other obligations leave these women with little time for much else; while the importance of such screenings might be understood, they're often not a high priority. For example, "African-American and low-income women have lower rates of cancer screening and higher rates of late-stage disease than do their counterparts" (Park et al., 2008). This is simply a trend that many medical professionals are aware of and one which needs to be corrected and which is in part one of the reasons that the Every Woman Matters Program was created. All women should participate in cervical and breast cancer screening regardless of income.

“In 2015, there are more than twenty-eight million women with a history of breast cancer in the United States of America. This Includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment. – BreastCancer.Org“ Breast cancer has taking over many people bodies, also lives. Anybody can get breast cancer from man to women. Cancer doesn’t have to be in your family history for you to get it.

The symptoms of cervical cancer are not always obvious thus the introduction of NHS cervical screening programme. The aim of the NHS Cervical Screening Programme is prevent the number women who die from cervical cancer each year due to not having early diagnoses. Since the introduction of the programme, a report was done between the NHS Cervical Screening Programme and Trent Cancer Registry it found that “Incidence and mortality rates in England have fallen considerably over the past 20 years. During this period, incidence rates decreased by over a third and mortality rates reduced by 60%. Survival, following a diagnosis of cervical cancer has improved in England since the 1980’s from the 83% to 88%”. (NHS, 2012, pp. P10-11).

List the factors in the patient’s history that increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Cervical cancer remains a public health problem that affects women worldwide. Cervical cancer is rated as the fourth type of cancer worldwide and the second most common cancer in women living in developing countries. In Europe, cervical cancer ranks as the sixth leading cancer of female cancers and second most common cancer among women aged between 15 to 44 years of age. Early detection and treatment are important for the prevention of morbidity and mortality related to cervical cancer. International studies conducted suggest that cervical cancer-related morbidity and mortality are highest among immigrant populations and that immigrant women may be less likely than non-immigrant women to participate in cervical cancer screening. These studies indicate that Somali women, in particular, constitute one immigrant group that is less likely to participate in cervical cancer screening. However, little information is known about the perceptions of and perspectives on cervical cancer screening as well as the barriers to uptake of cervical cancer screening among Somali women in Oslo. The aim of the study is to explore perceptions of and

Breast cancer is one of many types of cancers’ in the world today. The cause for breast cancer is not exactly known. It occurs when some breast cells start to grow abnormally, dividing more rapidly than healthy cells do. They continue to gather forming a lump or mass. These cells may continue to spread to other parts of the body. Although it cannot fully be prevented, there are ways to help reduce your chances of getting it. Alcohol consumption should be done in moderation, because it can increase your risk. Smoking cessation not only decreases your chance of breast cancer, but it is also improves your overall well- being. Obesity is also a risk factor that shouldn’t be ignored. Staying active and eating healthy will lead you down the

Cancer is a really diverse disease that consists of many different types including the breast cancer. Breast cancer is caused when the breast cells’ growth become uncontrollable. As the cells continue growing, a tumor forms. A tumor may appear in 2 forms: benign (not dangerous to your health) and is not considered to be cancerous, or malignant (potentially dangerous) which are cancerous and can eventually spread through the body. The major cause of Breast Cancer is the irregular change in the genes.

family history is a non-modifiable risk factor that puts a woman at a risk of cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, attributing to 266,000 deaths per year worldwide, a female gynecological cancer mortality rate second only to breast cancer. Although the human papillomavirus (HPV) has been implicated in 90% of cervical cancer cases, not all causes of cervical cancer are known, representing a critical barrier to progress in therapeutic development. Current therapies include a combination of hysterectomy and radiation or chemotherapy, all of which have significant side effects. New and improved treatments are therefore needed to minimize adverse effects and preserve fertility, especially for women of childbearing age.

SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF HISTORICAL EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY TRENDS IN ESTABLISHING THE CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HPV AND CERVICAL CANCER:

“The Big C” – otherwise known as cancer – is the third leading cause of death in the Philippines. In recent years, between the years 1980 to 1995, cervical cancer or cancer of the cervix has been ranked amongst the most prominent types of cancer in the country, third only to lung (ranked first) and breast cancer (second). It is interesting to note that cervical cancer is the first gyne-type cancer that appears on the “Leading Sites of Cancer” list. This simply means that we are aware of the dangers posted by lung and breast cancer. So much so, that significant time and attention has been given to it to promote early detection and prevention.
