Early Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer Caused by HPV

Abstract

Cervical cancer is an oncological disease that affects the mucous membrane of the cervix.The disease most often proceeds without symptoms. They appear only with the development of complications.In these cases, the signs of cervical cancer include: spotting from the genital tract, chronic pelvic and lower back pain, menstrual cycle disorders, urination and defecation. In most cases, HPV types 16 and 18 are detected. HPV infection in the population, according to various studies, ranges from 80 to 95%. It is important to understand that it is not the fact of detecting a papillomavirus infection that is crucial, but the duration of its presence in the body.Cancer is preceded by the occurrence of precancerous diseases called intraepithelial neoplasia or cervical dysplasia. This is a precancerous disease that often turns into cancer without treatment. The development of oncopathology from the stage of dysplasia to cancer takes 7-10 years. During this period, the disease does not manifest itself clinically in any way.
