Europe has just registered to the first vaccine against cancer, in particular against diagram of the heart cervical cancer. This is an important step in cancer prevention.
For a large number of cancers in particular, is not yet known what caused their formation. Cervical cancer originating in the clear. Dace Matule gynecologist told me that 99.7% of cases with this defect the disease, women body finds high onkoriska papilamitozo virus (HPV), which is considered as the cause of the accident. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 15% of the world's population is infected with HPV, and most 16-25 year olds.
HPV virus has 130 types, 30 of which can infect the genital. The basis for all the viruses are identical, differing only in some sections of DNA that determines how it will function in the body - or piesaistīsies the skin, forming warts, or of leaving the cervix and malignant tumors. Dispense:
low onkoriska HPV types that cause skin warts (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, etc.) and genital warts (2, 6, 11, 16, 18, etc.); High onkoriska HPV types that can cause cervical and penile squamous cell carcinoma (16, 18, 26, 31, etc.).
The vaccine has been developed for HPV - 6, 11, 16 and 18 types. It is known that it is the last two leads to 80% of all cervical cancers. The new vaccine diagram of the heart is possible to control and reduce the incidence of which is the highest female mortality. The vaccine is recommended for girls and women 9 to 26 years, and even when starting an active sex life, because of the likelihood that a woman will not be infected with all four HPV viruses. In addition, for those already infected after administration of the vaccine by 28% decrease in cell pathological changes.
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease resulting from sexual contact. The virus is so cunning that even condoms will not protect diagram of the heart you, and it may be a long time in the body without any clinical signs of pathology as usually found after a number of years. The virus does not cause the body's response, it's very friendly embodied in cervical diagram of the heart cells and the immune system does not respond in any way.
Fortunately, the virus does not persist in the body for a lifetime. Low-risk HPV disappear quickly, diagram of the heart about 8 months, high risk - a little more than a year. Not always, this virus causes cancer. Trials that only 15-30% of women infected with HPV high onkoriska four years may experience severe changes in cervical cells, including even malignancy.
Ilze gynecologist Viberg acknowledged that vaccine efficacy can be observed after 20-30 years when young girls reach the age of 40, now all attention to screening - early detection of cancer.
Riga Eastern Hospital oncologist Mary Star said that in our country with uterine cancer not too much suffering, but unfortunately they are detected too late, so there is a high mortality rate (last year - 124 women). The saddest thing is that it could also be because the disease can be identified as precancerous. The woman only once a year, to leave at the gynecologist to perform Pap tests. This is a public service paid for the visit and the tests are to be issued a penny. There is no need of a family doctor's referral.
Unfortunately, diagram of the heart very many women do not care about their gynecological health, but pre-cancerous, and the first two stages have not yet been any expressions. They mostly only notice III and stage IV, when you see kontaktasiņošana after intercourse (bloody or spotting). If a woman is not sexual, diagram of the heart these symptoms occur even later. Protect yourself can be just a regular Pap smear removal (last year it was made only 132 000 women).
- Cervical cancer is no longer diagram of the heart die! We are able to timely detect wind up with a small operation, and continue to reproductive function, can then give birth. Women do not realize that this simple smear if it is done in a timely diagram of the heart manner, you can save from excruciating death, - said M. asterisk.
Are at particular risk for rural women who are 10-15 years have not been to the doctor because of a complaint but did not. Family physicians recognize that it is a completely frivolous attitude towards their health, because there are so many illnesses that the body develops slowly without any symptoms. When they occur, often it is too late. This also applies to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases.
For reference According to the WHO, every year the world finds 60 000 cervical cancer cases, about half of these women die. The highest mortality rate in Romania, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania and Latvian, the lowest - in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Canada. In countries where low mortality from cervical cancer, has been specially organized screening programs. Reiterates the need for women annually undergo preventive examinations, often specially invited her to the viewing.
