Cervical cancer is a very dangerous disease and is still a serious problem world-wide. It is estimated that there are approximately 500,000 new cases every year which mostly occur in developing countries. Cervical cancer incidence in Indonesia was continues to increase and the majority of sufferers are detected at an terminal stage. It can be prevented and detected early if womens have a good knowledge and awareness of early detection. This study aimed to know about knowledge, behavior of early detection by Pap smear, and HPV vaccination and the incidence of cervical cancer. This study was attended by 12 respondents in the Ciracas area, East Jakarta. The results of this study show how far respondents know about cervical cancer to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. The knowledge that will be assessed in this study is how far the public's knowledge about the causes, symptoms, and risk factors of cervical cancer. In addition, in our study we will also assess how far they know about HPV vaccination as a preventative measure and pap smear as a step in early detection of cervical cancer.

Background: "Preventable but not prevented", this is the reality of cervical cancer today, at least in developing countries. 80% of all the cases of cervical cancer occur in these developing countries. In India, cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths in women. The Papanicolaou test is simple, quick, and painless. It is capable of detecting cervical cancer at an early stage and is used widely in developed countries, where it has decreased both the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer. Objective of the study was conducted to determine the importance of conventional Pap smears for the diagnosis of inflammatory, premalignant and malignant lesions of the cervix.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2017 to June 2018 on 2000 women coming for a Pap smear examination in Government Medical College attached to New Civil Hospital, Surat. After doing Pap stain, all cases were reported as per the 2014 Bethesda system.Results: A total of 2000 cases of Pap smears were received out of which 1914(95.7%) cases were satisfactory for evaluation, 86(4.3%) cases were unsatisfactory. The frequency of epithelial abnormalities was 3.66%. The age group of 51-60 years showed the highest epithelial abnormalities. The frequency of epithelial abnormalities in asymptomatic women was 2.3%. Out of the 1844 cases, 103(5.6%) showed changes of atrophy, 1011(54.8%) cases showed inflammatory/reactive changes, whereas organisms were seen in 558(30.3%) cases.Conclusions: Pap smear happens to be an economical, safe and pragmatic diagnostic tool for early detection of cervical cancer.

Intraepithelial Lesions

Cervical cancer is considered to be particularly amenable to prevention and highly treatable in its early stages. The real-time optoelectronic method of cervix examination seemed to be very promising in the detection of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions and demonstrated relatively good efficacy. Although this method was introduced into clinics almost 10 years ago, it has not found its place in diagnostic schemes. At the moment, cytological smears and HPV detection with genotyping are still essential. TruScreen seems to be a slightly forgotten test. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy of TruScreen in detecting cervical pathology: CIN and cervical cancer confirmed with a histopathological diagnosis in comparison with other methods–cytology and colposcopy over four years of observations. The study was conducted on 130 women with abnormal Pap smear results. We can conclude that a real-time optoelectronic method like TruScreen can be useful as an effective initial cervical cancer screening in developing countries, possibly in combination with other methods. The combination of cytology and TruScreen examination may help clinicians to take decision about the next diagnostics steps (e.g. colposcopy) and contribute to better primary screening for cervical cancer.

Background Mortality

Background: Mortality due to cervical cancer is also an indicator of health inequalities, as 86% of all deaths due to cervical cancer are in developing countries, low- and middle-income countries. Though Pap smear is a routine screening test, the overall sensitivity in detection of high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is 70 - 80% .Pap smear is a simple, safe, non-invasive and cost effective method for the detection of pre-cancerous, cancerous and benign lesions of cervix. Materials and Method: Around 100 cases attending gynecology OPD consented to participate were selected between age 15-60years with complaints. Pap smear was taken and was reported by cytopathologists according to the 2001 Bethesda system. All the data were manually collected and subsequently analyzed.   Results: Maximum number of cases (37%)were seen in the age group og 31-40 years followed by 41-50 years (29%)and rest between 21-30 years (26%). 8% cases were seen in the age group of 51-60 years. NILM was reported in 48% of cases. Inflammatory smears were seen in 44% of cases. Two smears were reported as unsatisfactory.02% of cases was reported as ASCUS.LSIL was reported in 02% of cases while HSIL were reported in 01% of cases. Non specific findings were reported in 01 case. Conclusion: This study proves that PAP stain is a simple, cheap, inexpensive and easy procedure and that using PAP stain cytological screening programs conducted in developing countries can play a major role in reducing mortality and morbidity due to Cancer Cervix.

Cancer is one of the biggest causes of death in this century. In general, cancer can attack almost every part of the human body, among the most likely to be affected by cancer is the female reproductive system, one of which is the cervix. Cervical cancer (cervical cancer) is a gynecological malignancy that causes problems in women's health, especially in developing countries. This cancer begins to be found at the age of 25-34 years and peak at age 45-54 years. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of factors affecting WUS (Fertile Age Women) in Pap Smear examinations at the Health Center Completed in 2017. This type of research is descriptive analytic. The population and sample of the study were 34 WUS (Fertile Age Women) in the Puskesmas Completed in 2017. The data used were primary and secondary data. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate. The results showed that the knowledge and attitude variables of pregnant women Knowledge, Gender, Distance, Motivation, Husband Support had a significant relationship with the variable Pap Smear Examination. These results conclude that there is a relationship between distance to health services and Pap Smear examination at the Health Center Completed in 2017. It is expected that WUS (Fertile Age Women) can increase people's knowledge, especially WUS (Fertile Age Women) so that they are motivated to do pap smear examinations.

Cervical cancer is the most common prevalent cancer that continues to be a major health care problem world wide. It is still an important cause of mortality and morbidity in the developing countries. An estimated 500,000 new cases of cancer cervix and 233.000 deaths occurred in the year 2000 and almost 80% of these cases happen in the developing countries. Hospital based statistics indicated cervical cancer constitutes 22-35% of the female cancer in different areas of Bangladesh and India. A retrospective study was done in Gynaecology and Obstetric department in KMCH between January 2004 to January 2009 to see the incidence, correlation of age, parity, socioeconomic condition and clinical staging, treatment and other risks factors of carcinoma cervix. Out of total 120 diagnosed cases of cervical cancer were evaluated regarding their clinio-demographic profile, appearance of growth, clinical staging and types of treatment done . The results showed 49% of patient were in the age group of 31-40 years, 26% were in the 41-50 years group, early age at first coitus (70%), most of the patients (82%) presented with advanced stage and referred for radiotherapy or chemo radiation. One in ten female cancers diagnosed world wide are cancers of the cervix and there is seven fold variation in the incidence of cervical cancer between the different regions of the world. The Incidence of invasive cervical carcinoma can be reduced by development of health education and promotion of national screening programme such as Visual Inspection of cervix (VIA), Colposcopy and vaccination against Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV).

Ghana is among the countries with high incidence rate of cervical cancer in the world. Knowledge of the risk factors and the aetiology of cancers, especially, cervical cancer leads to reduction in cancer incidence and prevalence. This study assesses the knowledge, risk factors and perceived preventive methods about cervical cancer of tertiary students in the Tano-North Municipality of Ahafo region of Ghana. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on 150 randomly sampled students. The age range was between 15 to 35 years with the 18-35-years old. A total of 59.3% of respondents were not aware that, early sexual intercourse is a risk factor, and 78%, 64% and 90.7% of the respondents did not know that smoking cigarette, use of oral contraceptives and stress, respectively are risks of cervical cancer. Respondents also showed poor knowledge on preventive methods with only 32%, 25% 24%, 57.3% and 34% acknowledged that delay in age of first sexual contact, regular exercise, non-smoking, HPV vaccine and Pap smear respectively were preventive methods of cervical cancer. Thus, the respondents displayed poor knowledge about the risk factors and preventive methods of cervical cancer and therefore, tertiary education curriculum should include cancer awareness to reduce the incidence.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding cervical cancer and Human papilloma virus (HPV) among Omani women aged 18 years and older. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted between September 2019 and February 2020 in primary health care facilities throughout Oman. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding cervical cancer and HPV. Results: A total of 805 women participated in the study (response rate: 89%). Two thirds of the participants had heard about cervical cancer (67%) while fewer were aware of HPV (15.8%). Around one third of the women identified HPV as a risk factor for developing cervical cancer (38.9%). Very few participants had knowledge of HPV vaccines (10.1%). Major source of information regarding both cervical cancer and HPV was social media (33.0%), as compared to 16.9% who got the information from healthcare providers. Despite the poor knowledge, almost half of the participants were open to vaccinating schoolgirls (41.2%) and even their daughters (47.0%) Conclusion: Most of the participants had poor knowledge regarding cervical cancer and HPV; even those with a personal or family history of cervical cancer. Main source of knowledge was social media. Majority were open to the idea of offering the HPV vaccine to middle school-aged girls and even their daughters. Proper incorporation into school curricula and improving access to trusted medical knowledge to the public in the social media may help in enriching the public’s knowledge, and possibly, correct misinformation and myths regarding cervical cancer and HPV.
