Breast cervical

Close clinical surveillance of all women taking OCs is essential they should be reexamined at least once a year. In all cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurrent abnormal vaginal bleeding, rule out malignancy. Monitor women with a strong family history of breast cancer or who have breast nodules, fibrocystic disease of the breast, cervical dysplasia, or abnormal mammograms. [Pg.217]

Prolonged administration increases the risk of gallbladderdisease, thromboembolic disease, and breast, cervical, vaginal, endometrial, and hepatic carcinoma. [Pg.461]

Prolonged administration mayincrease the risk of breast, cervical, endometrial, hepatic, and vaginal carcinoma cerebrovascular disease, coronary heart disease, gallbladder disease, and hypercalcemia. [Pg.463]

Sassafras albidum has been reported to have antineoplastic activity. Over the years many different preparations, including teas, salves, and fluid extracts have been utilized for breast, cervical, and other types of cancer. In the 1787 edition of Materia Medica Americana sassafras root was listed as a remedy for cancerous ulcers. In 1833 The American Practice of Medicine listed sassafras oil as a cure for osteosarcomatous tumors (Hartwell, 1969). It is now known that sassafras has no antineoplastic activity and has itself been identified as carcinogenic. [Pg.311]

Adeno-associated viruses are naturally defective viruses that require a helper adenovirus to replicate normally. However, they are capable of infecting a range of cells and can integrate at specific sites in human chromatin. Adeno-associated viruses have been used experimentally to kill certain forms of breast, cervical, and prostate cancer cells. As viral vectors, they have been used to introduce a gene for production of insulin and the genes for both Factor VIII and Factor IX, lacking in humans with certain forms of hemophilia (hemophilia A and B, respectively). [Pg.1928]

Other actions of estrogen include fluid retention, protein anabolism, thinning of the cervical mucus, and the inhibition or facilitation of ovulation. Estrogens contribute to the conservation of calcium and phosphorus, the growth of pubic and axillary hair, and pigmentation of the breast nipples and genitals. Estrogens also stimulate contraction of the fallopian tubes (which promotes movement of the ovum), modify the physical and chemical properties of the cervical mucus, and restore the endometrium after menstruation. [Pg.544]

Researches have developed methods to test for HIV and estimate the amounts of infectious virus present in various body fluids and secretions. HIV can be isolated relatively easily from blood, semen, and vaginal/cervical secretions (including menstrual fluid). When blood and semen are examined closely, the great majority of HIV is associated with infected cells (mostly macrophages) present in these fluids. In blood, if the cells are removed, low levels of HIV are present in the cell-free serum. It has also been isolated from breast milk. With much greater difficulty, the virus has on occasion been isolated from saliva, tears, urine, perspiration, and feces. [Pg.174]

The viral protease is inhibited by several drugs, including indinavir. Surprisingly, such protease inhibitors not only affect the virus but they also affect fat metabolism. They cause loss of adipose tissue in the hmbs and face, which is balanced by its accumulation in other areas, intraabdominal, breasts and over the cervical vertebrae, the last giving rise to the term buffalo hump , a change which is especially distressing for the patient. The cause of this effect is not known. [Pg.414]

High levels of oestrogen, such as in the non-pregnant state, increase breast cancer risk in nulliparous women, whereas exposure to the human papilloma virus (during sexual intercourse with multiple partners) increases the risk of cervical cancer. Physical activity (especially in... [Pg.504]

In humans methylene chloride exposure has been associated with a wide variety of cancers in a number of cohort and case control studies pancreatic, prostate, lung, liver, cervical, breast, and astrocytic brain tumors have been reported. Limitations in these studies include small sample size, incomplete exposure information, and concomitant exposure to other carcinogenic substances. The lARC has stated that there is not a sufficiently consistent elevation of risk across studies to make a causal interpretation credible. In a recent study of 1473 workers, followed for nearly 50 years, methylene chloride exposure level was not related to mortality due to all causes, malignant neoplasms, or lung and pancreatic cancers. ... [Pg.472]

Carcinogenesis Long-term case-controlled surveillance of users found slight or no increased overall risk of breast cancer and no overall increased risk of ovarian, liver, or cervical cancer and a prolonged, protective effect of reducing the risk of endometrial cancer in the population of users. [Pg.228]
