Research To Improve Screening For Warts Linked To Cervical Cancer Risk
Researchers are testing thousands of cervical smear samples to try and identify which types of wart viruses may lead to cancer. They will also examine the benefits of a new form of smear testing. Collaborating scientists and doctors from the University of Edinburgh, Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust- and Lothian GPs- are creating a bank of... view more... (2002-04-24)
Cancer screening rates among older Medicaid patients fall short of national objectives
Only about half of Medicaid recipients age 50 and older appear to receive recommended screening tests for colorectal, breast and cervical cancer, according to a report in the October 13 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
International studies show high efficacy for HPV vaccine
A new vaccine aimed at preventing cervical cancer is nearly 100 percent effective against the two types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) responsible for most cases of cervical cancer—strains 16 and 18. view more (2007-06-01)
Subterfuge, counter-surveillance and assassination: The body's fight with cervical cancer
The virus responsible for most cases of cervical cancer has a serious weakness which may provide hope for new treatments for the disease. view more (2008-03-24)
HPV vaccine reduces abnormal pap test results
A significant drop in abnormal Pap test results happened after girls and women were given a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, according to a researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2008-03-10)
Dangerous glucose-hungry cervical tumors can be detected using PET scans
Cervical cancers that take up a lot of blood sugar, or glucose, are more resistant to treatment than those that are less glucose-hungry, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-03-31)
Social class dictates cancer risk
Cervical and lung cancer are more common in poor people while rates of breast cancer and melanoma are higher in the wealthy. view more (2008-09-26)
Higher risk for cervical cancer seen among women infected with multiple HPV types
The risk for developing the tissue abnormalities, or lesions, that typically precede cervical cancer is much higher for women infected with multiple genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) than previously reported. view more (2006-07-11)
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy reduces side effects for cervical cancer
Preliminary results from a University of Pittsburgh study evaluating extended-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for cervical cancer found that it resulted in significantly reduced side effects and outcomes comparable to standard radiotherapy. view more (2006-11-08)
Study: HPV test beats Pap in detecting cervical cancer
A new study led by McGill University researchers shows that the human papillomavirus (HPV) screening test is far more accurate than the traditional Pap test in detecting cervical cancer. view more (2007-10-18)
HPV-vaccine may prevent preterm births
Chronic human papilloma virus (HPV)-infections can lead to cellular changes in the cervix that can be a pre-stage to cervical cancer. Surgical treatment of these pre-stages gives an increased risk of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies. view more (2009-03-17)
HPV test is a better long-term predictor of cervical cell abnormalities than pap smear
The best initial cervical cancer screening tool for younger women is still the traditional Pap smear. However, a large Danish study has found that for older women (age 40 and older), a test for human papillomavirus (HPV) is a much more effective way to screen for potential cancer. view more (2006-11-01)
Both Latino and non-Latino women likely to accept HPV vaccination for selves and children
Most women responding to a survey conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) clinics indicated they would be willing to be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV) and to have their daughters and even sons vaccinated in order to prevent cancer in their children. view more (2009-03-09)
Violent patients most likely to be removed from GPs' lists
Violent, threatening or abusive behaviour by patients is the most common reason for removing a patient from their lists, report general practitioners in this week's BMJ. In April 2000, researchers at the University of Sheffield surveyed 1,000 general practitioners in England and Wales about the current scale of, and reasons for, removal of... view more...

Brisbane teens receive first cancer vaccine shots
UQ Professor Ian Frazer administered the first shots of the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil in Queensland this afternoon at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. view more (2006-08-29)
Study casts doubt over widely practised surgical procedure to reduce premature birth (p 1849)
A common surgical procedure to prevent the cervix opening during pregnancy-thought to reduce the risk of preterm delivery-is called into question by results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Cervical cerclage (stitching to keep the cervix closed) has been widely used in the past 50 years to prevent early preterm birth. Kypros... view more... (2004-06-02)
UCLA study helps ER physicians identify previously undetectable spinal injuries
A new national study indicates that patients with a cervical spinal injury (CSI) may harbor additional spinal damage not visible on regular x-rays. view more (2005-09-07)
HOPE FOR INNOVATIVE CERVICAL-SCREENING PROGRAMMES IN LESS-DEVELOPED COUNTRIES (p 814)
A potential model for preventing deaths from cervical cancer in less-developed countries is outlined in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Authors of the study illustrate how a 'single visit' screening programme tested in rural Thailand could be effective in other less-developed settings. Just under half a million cases of cervical cancer occur... view more... (2003-03-05)
New smear test policy puts young women at risk, say doctors
Last month, the BMJ reported a fall in the number of young women attending smear tests. Now, two senior doctors warn that a new policy not to screen women aged 20-24 may be a factor in falling coverage and could increase the risk of cancer developing in young women. view more (2007-02-09)
Bright tumors, dim prospects
It doesn't matter how small or large it is, if a cervical tumor glows brightly in a PET scan, it's apt to be more dangerous than dimmer tumors. That's the conclusion of a new study of cervical cancer patients at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2007-09-14)
