background & objective:the present study was undertaken to ascertain the incidence of early, advanced cancer cervix and its recurrence and role of chemotherapy in locally advanced cancer cervix. material and methods: the present study was conducted in the departments of obstetrics & gynaecology, pathology and radiotherapy and the specimens examined in the department of pathology of jaw...

background: in 1970, human papillomavirus (hpv) was introduced as the main etiologic factor of cervical carcinoma. since there is no possibility of detecting the virus and its subtypes using serological methods and cell culture, the molecular methods such as pcr have particular importance in accurate, early and definite diagnosis of the virus. so, in this research, our goal is to use a propriet...

abstract background and aims: the human papilloma virus was introduced as the major etiological agent in outbreak of cervical cancer in 1970. since it is very difficult to recognize these viruses and their types using the serological tests and cell culture, molecular methods such as pcr are of great importance. therefore, in this study, our goal was to use a multiple specific pcr assay on l1 an...

background and objective: microscopic evaluation of cervicovaginal smears (pap smear) plays an essential role in detection of preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of uterine cervix. a wide spectrum of changes is seen in pap smears. interpretation of intermediate changes which resulting in observation of so- called ascus is difficult. ascus is defined as a cellular change that is more marked tha...

background and objective: to estimate the risk of human papilloma virus (hpv) infection for cervical malignancies, we conducted a case-control study in southern iran (hormozgan province). materials and methods: for this purpose,52 paraffin embedded blocks with exact diagnosis of cervical carcinoma(50 carcinomas and 2 carcinomas in situ) from 2001 to 2006 and 52 praffin embedded blocks of cervic...

background: the goals of the present research were to investigate the rectal dose during four chosen techniques of cervical cancer radiotherapy and to examine how accurately the treatment planning represents dose measurements, and it’s practicality for routine use as well as, to determine the homogeneity of dose in tumor volume. materials and methods: the study was carried out using a nepton 10...

Background: Cancer cervix is the most common cancer in women of the developing countries where screening facilities are inadequate. Cancer cervix is a preventable cancer due to its long pre invasive stage and availability of screening methods. Colposcopy is an in situ clinical examination of cervix with magnification and illumination. It is a clinical method that complements the laboratory meth...

The occurrence of a second primary cancer in a cancer survivor is well documented. It may be synchronous or metachronous. Incidence of metachronous cancer involving cervix is 0.82% to 1.33%. One such metachronous cancer is that of breast and cervix. We present a case of a woman who received tamoxifen for invasive ductal cancer of breast following a modified radical mastectomy and subsequently d...

BACKGROUND Cancer of the cervix is the second commonest malignancy in females worldwide and is the leading malignancy among women in Tanzania. Cancer of the cervix has been strongly associated with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which is a sexually transmitted disease. However, the role of HIV-1 in the aetiology of cancer of the cervix is less clear. Studies suggest that HPV and HIV-1 infection ar...
