Cervical cancer screening

For the analysis of exfoliated cells (such as an automated Pap test for cervical cancer screening), the ability to collect the spectrum of each individual cell separately by mapping methods is even more important, since statistical analysis... 

Prefeasibility Work on a Voucher Scheme for Cervical Cancer Screening... 

The cervical cancer screening program in El Salvador needed to contract with a laboratory to provide cytology results, but none of the laboratories tested passed the voucher agency s proficiency test. The lack of a provider encouraged a few professionals who were skilled at reading Pap smears to form a laboratory, which was subsequently contracted by the voucher agency. 

This section contains spectral results collected from entire individual cells, with the specific aim of differentiating between cell types that occur in samples of cells. The long-range goal of these studies has been the development of a completely automatic method to perform spectral cytology-that is, to analyze a sample of exfoliated cells (e.g., cervical cells obtained during the Pap cervical cancer screening procedure) for the presence of abnormal cells. 

Gynecological cytology is a major area in which application of IHC is growing rapidly. Papanicolaou tests form the bulk of the specimens used primarily for cervical cancer screening. Although colposcopic biopsy...

The ThinPrep Pap Test is a replacement for conventional method of Pap smear preparation for screening of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. 

Islander women have the lowest screening rates for cervical cancer cervical cancer rates for Vietnamese women are the highest among all groups, nearly five times the rates of white women (Mayberry, 1999). 

Gardasil is a quadrivalent vaccine of the human papilloma virus (type 6, 11, 16, 18). It is used for the prevention of cervical cancer and other pre-cancerous lesions. It should be given early in a female s sexual life and it is licensed for use in females between 9 and 26 years of age. Administration is by intramuscular injection and three doses are required. Because the vaccine does not protect against all the strains of the virus, cervical screening is still required. Duration of protection after a complete course is... 

Treating nicotine and tobacco dependence can prevent a variety of costly chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and chronic lung disease. It is estimated that smoking cessation efforts are more cost effective than other commonly provided preventive services such as screening for breast, colon, and cervical cancer, treatment of mildly elevated blood pressure, and treatment of high cholesterol. 

Advice on screening for breast cancer and cervical cancer. 

Poor women and those at high risk of cervical cancer are missed, while younger and better-off women are screened more often than necessary. 

The Pap-test [297], developed by the Greek physician George Nicolas Papanicolaou (1883-1962) for the early screening of cervical cancer, constituted an important milestone in cancer research. This test assesses under a microscope the stained cells of a smear sample taken from the surface of the cervical canal (Fig. 5.118). 

Preliminary biological screening pointed out that the toxicity of these systems upon light irradiation is comparable to that of cisplatin towards cervical cancer cells (HeLa). ...
