Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy, and about 53,000 women die from cervical cancer every year in China, ranking the top of female cancer deaths. Is cervical cancer really that terrible? No! Cervical cancer is an infectious cancer, its occurrence and development are inseparable from infection, in other words, infection induces cervical cancer. Numerous studies have shown that persistent infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary causative factor of cervical cancer, and HPV plays an important role in the long process of developing from precancerous lesions to cancer (about 3~10 years). The positive rate of HPV test for cervical cancer is over 90%, especially for young cervical cancer patients, their HPV positive rate is higher than 98%, which further proves that cervical cancer is related to infection, and as long as we block the infection, we can control the occurrence of tumor, that is to say: cervical cancer infectious cancer can be prevented, cured and not scary. 1.People with high incidence of cervical cancer: 1.People infected with human papilloma virus 2.People who have cervical erosion for many years 3.People who have multiple sexual partners 4.People who marry early and have many children 2.Prevention: The early symptoms of cervical cancer are not obvious, and once the symptoms appear, they are mostly in late stage. The key to curing cervical cancer is early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. How to achieve early detection and early diagnosis? 1. Go to hospital for gynecological examination regularly. Dr. Qiao Youqi, Director of Epidemiology, Institute of Oncology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, suggests that any woman who has had sex for more than three years or has sex over 21 years old should start regular screening for cervical cancer. 2. Pay attention to the treatment of precancerous lesions. The incidence of cervical cancer in developed countries has dropped significantly. This is largely attributed to the early diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions. The distribution of cervical cancer in China shows a trend that rural areas are higher than urban areas. Women should treat themselves well and see a doctor promptly when abnormalities occur, such as increased leucorrhea, dilute watery, bloody or bleeding after intercourse, and do not wait until they can’t bear it before seeking medical attention. 3.Healthy sexual behavior, avoiding multiple sexual partners, avoiding premature sexual contact, and suggesting the use of shielding or contraceptive tools. 3.Treatment of cervical cancer Conventional treatments for cervical cancer: surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Different methods are chosen according to the patient’s stage, age and fertility requirements. Radiotherapy is applicable to all patients in early, middle and late stages. The effect of radiation therapy for early stage patients is the same as surgery, with a 5-year survival rate of 98%~100% and the ability to preserve the integrity of organs and no significant impact on sexual life. For stage IIb~IIIb patients (intermediate stage patients) radiotherapy is the main treatment. For late stage patients, radiotherapy is the main treatment, supplemented by chemotherapy. For individual young patients with better general condition, they can also be treated by surgery, and after surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the 5-year survival rate reaches 30%~40%. Therefore, we say that although cervical cancer is dangerous and the second biggest killer of women’s health, cervical cancer is not terrible. As long as we are vigilant during the long process of its development, regular gynecological checkups, timely detection and treatment of precancerous lesions to stop its transformation into cervical cancer, we can overcome it; as long as we change our hygiene habits, promote healthy sex life, use shielded contraceptives, avoid cross-infection, actively treat viral infections in reproductive tract and remove the causative factors, we can effectively control the occurrence of cervical cancer.
