16
Q

cold-knife cone biopsy

A

large area of tissue around cervix is excised for examinatino

17
Q

LEEP

A

uses electrical current to excise the distal cervix including the transformation zone

18
Q

Invasive cervical cancer

A
  • bleeding or brown discharge, often post-coital
  • back pain, weight loss are late manifestations
  • hx of inadequate screening
  • dx established by biopsy
19
Q

Invasive cervical cancer natural hx

A
  • once invasive, no regression
  • spreads by direct extension/growth
  • exophytic, cauliflower-like
  • stage on physical exam
20

radical hysterectomy

chemoradiation therapy

A

chemoradiation therapy

22
Q

5-yr survival of stage Ia cervical cancer

A

95%

23
Q

HPV vaccine

L1 capsid HPV viral protein

reduces risk up to 97% for 7 types of high-risk HPV including HPV 16/18 and 6/11 (genital warts)

24
Q

carcinoma of the cervix usually begins at the junction of the
