A

Endophytic

Aggressive

22
Q

What are the lesions that are commonly found with adenocarcinoma of the cervix?

25
Q

What are the structures that are affected with direct extension of cervical CA?

A
  • Involvement of the pelvic side wall
  • venous compression
  • Hydroureter
26
Q

What is the only gyn CA that is staged clinically?

27
Q

What are IVPs? What are they used for?

A

Intravenous pyelogram– an x-ray examination of the kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder that uses iodinated contrast material injected into veins

28
Q

What is stage 0 cervical CA?

29
Q

What is stage 1 cervical CA?

A

carcinoma confined to the cervix

30
Q

What is stage 2 cervical CA?

A

Carcinoma extends beyond the cervix either to the vagina or parametrium

31
Q

What is stage 3 cervical CA?

A

Lower 1/3 of the vagina or the pelvic side wall

32
Q

What is stage 4 cervical CA?

A

CA extends beyond the true pelvis or involves the mucosa of the bladder

33
Q

Treatment for cervical CA depends largely on what?

34
Q

What is the treatment for IA, IA2, IIB and above?

A
  • IA1 = Excise
  • IA2 = Radial hysterectomy
  • II and above = XRT and chemo
35
Q

What is excised with a radical hysterectomy? (4)

A
  • uterus + ovaries
  • pelvic side wall
  • upper 2/3 of vagina
  • pelvic nodes
36
Q

What are the risks of radical hysterectomy? (3)

A

  • Bladder atony
37
Q

Why bladder atony with radical hysterectomy?

A

Damage to the nerves

38
Q

What are the two different XRTs for cervical CA?

A

EBRT

Brachytherapy

39
Q

What is brachytherapy?

A

Intracavitary radiation –Place radioactive things in cervix to crush CA

40
Q

What are the complications of XRT to the cervix?

A
  • Ileus
  • Urinary frequency

41
Q

What is pelvic exenteration?

A

Radical procedure for recurrent cervical CA

–Radial hysterectomy + cystectomy, and rectum removal

42
Q

True or false: HPV vaccines must be given before or at the onset of sexual activity to be effective

43
Q

What is the difference between partial, total, and radical hysterectomy?

A 
Partial = just the uterus
Total = uterus + cervix
Radical = above + vagina
44
Q

What is the concern with performing the LEEP procedure?

A

If take too much tissue, may cause cervical issues
