Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer Caused by HPV

Abstract

Cervical cancer is a tumor lesion of the lower part of the uterus, characterized by a malignant transformation of the integumentary epithelium (ecto- or endocervix). Specific manifestations of cervical cancer are preceded by an asymptomatic course; in the future, contact and intermenstrual spotting, abdominal and sacral pain, swelling of the lower extremities, urination and defecation disorders appear. Diagnosis of cervical cancer includes examination in mirrors, extended colposcopy, cytological scraping, biopsy with histological conclusion, endocervical curettage. Treatment of cervical cancer is carried out taking into account the histological form and prevalence with the help of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy or a combination thereof.
