In Mexico cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death from malignant neoplasms in women, but this mortality rate has been reduced in recent years thanks to early detection programs as the pap smear test, which is aimed at finding pre-cancerous abnormalities in cells that cover the cervix. The pap smear test is an efficient medical test, but it presents problems at the moment of interpr...

BACKGROUND Analysis of trends in cancer survival in defined well surveilled populations can provide useful indications on advancements in cancer management and treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS Survival rates from the Vaud Cancer Registry were computed for 31,158 cases registered in 1984-1993, and compared with those registered in 1974-1978 and 1979-1983. RESULTS A systematic, albeit generall...

Induction of the expression of the Mr 67,000 high-affinity laminin receptor gene has been postulated as playing a role in the progression of human tumors to invasive cancers. We tested this hypothesis by examining histopathological sections of a large number of epithelial lesions of the genital tract associated with human papillomaviruses. In situ hybridization was performed with a riboprobe ge...

Cervical cancer incidence and mortality have decreased dramatically over the past 50 years in countries with access and resources to provide frequent screening, evaluation, and treatment of high-grade cervical cancer precursors. For countries with fewer resources and many competing health concerns, cervical cancer remains one of the most lethal and common cancers among women. With the advent of...

Each year about 272,610 new cases of cancer are diagnosed in Brazil, being cervical the third most incident among women. Our country is those that have made progress consolidating integrated tracking and surveillance system. This article aims to collect sociodemographic clinicopathological data from patients who underwent cytopathological examinations at Laboratory Pathological Anatomy Cytopath...

Background: Cervix is part of female reproductive system. Cervix connects the upper body of the uterus to the vagina.The cervix is very commonly affected organ by a variety of infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. This study was undertaken to focus on uterine cervix tumors, including benign and malignant tumors. The most common uterine cervix benign tumors are leiomyoma. Carcinoma c...

specific structure of ewe's cervix is one of artificial insemination limitation in sheep. successful insemination in ewes has a close relation with morphology of their cervix. the objective of this experiment was to compare anatomical structure of cervix in makui, kurdish and afshari ewes. in this study, reproductive tract of 300 ewes of aforesaid sheep (100 ewes of each strain) were colle...

BACKGROUND Pyometra, a life-threatening bacterial infection of the uterus, is classified as open or closed depending on the functional patency of the cervix i.e. presence or absence of vaginal discharge. In closed cervix pyometra, pus and bacterial products accumulate in the uterus, which is thought to induce a more severe illness. The aim of this study was to investigate whether disease severi...
