Author: Sandy ShawThe uterine wall consists of various cell types. Cervical Cancer Stages Survival Cancer is named according to the cells affected by it. About 95% of uterine cancer cases are where the endometrial cells lining the uterus are affected. Cancer affecting glandular cells is called an adenocarcinoma and sometimes has squamous cells - as found on the surface of the skin and cervix. Non-cancerous squamous cells are called adenocanthomas cancer and malignant ones are called adnosquamous carcinomas. These cancers may look different under a microscope, but are often treated the same. Adenosquamous cancer of the uterus is more invasive and aggressive which can lead to more complications and a decreased cure rate (recent research and technological advances shows an improvement in rates). Symptoms are similar to that of uterine cancer and a biopsy and histology report will determine the cancer type. Symptoms could include unusual vaginal bleeding occurring outside normal monthly periods, watery and bloody discharge in the middle of a cycle or after menopause, discomfort and bloating in the abdomen and are similar to symptoms of endometriosis and fibroids without pain.

A Pap test is a procedure in which scraped cells from the cervix are examined under a microscope. It is estimated that there are now 11,150 cases of cervical cancer each year in the United States. It is also estimated that approximately 3,670 women die in the United States each year from cervical cancer. Risk factors may be any number of things that will affect the chances of a person developing a disease greater. Protective factors are elements that affect the chances of a person developing a disease less. A person may be able to avoid some risk factors while others cannot be avoided. You can choose to stop smoking. Smoking is a known risk factor for many forms of caner. However, you cannot control inheriting specific genes from your parents that could be deemed a risk factor for a form of cancer. Genetics is an uncontrollable risk factor. Avoiding known risk factors and increasing known protective factors for cancer...more
