OME/Books Flashcards
Which HPV strains cause malignancy and which cause warts?
cancer - 16,18, 30’s (vaccine)
warts - 6,11
typical first symptom of cervical cancer
post coital bleeding
histology of most cervical cancer
affects epithelial layer, leads to squamous cell carcinoma
how to grade cervical cancer
CIN 1, 2, 3
how much of cervix is involved
When to begin cervical cancer screening
start at 21 and have every 3 years (Pap smear), stop at 65 if tests have been normal
at 30, if you have Pap smears + co-testing, you can have every 5 years
exception: HIV, screen every year
what to do if pap grossly abnormal?
colposcopy to see if lesions are ecto (outer) or endo….if ecto positive, do LEEP/cryo/ablation, if endo, do cone biopsy
what to do if ASCUS on pap?
- HPV DNA test
- q6month pap
if HPV DNA test positive, proceed to colpo
2 risk factors cervical cancer
HPV
!!smoking!!!
When to do resection vs. debulking/chemo for cervical cancer
IIB or less - resection/ablation curative (involves cardinal ligament)
IIB or more - debulking and chemo with platinum based agent
When to give HPV vaccine
girls - 11-26
boys - 11-21
risk factors for endometrial cancer
ESTROGEN EXPOSURE!
- anovulation
- age
- nulliparity
- obesity (increases peripheral conversion of estrogen)
- early menarche/late menopause
- drugs (OCPs/tamoxifen for breast cancer/hormone replacement therapy with estrogen)
how to screen for endometrial cancer
THERE IS NONE
can only biopsy
core rx for endometrial cancer
remove mass (total abdominal hysterectomy) + remove source of estrogen (bilateral salpingoophorectomy)
common presentation of endometrial cancer
post menopausal bleeding
most common cause of post menopausal bleeding
vaginal atrophy
BUT MUST WORK UP FOR ENDOMETRIAL CANCER with endometrial biopsy or D+C
what to give patient with precancerous endometrial hyperplasia who is of reproductive age and wants to preserve fertility?
progesterone
progestrone is “PROtective” and stops estrogen production
reproductive age woman with weight loss, palpitations, anxiety, sweating…normal thyroid gland, adnexal mass
struma ovarii (thyroid producing benign cystic teratoma)
MCC type ovarian tumor iiwoman over 30
epithelial (serous>mucinous)
poorer prognosis
signs of ovarian cancer
malignant ascites to omentum, small bowel, lymphatics repeat bouts of SBO (from ascities) weight loss elevated CA-125 renal failure
tumor marker ovarian cancer
CA-125
MCC type ovarian tumor pt under 30
benign cystic teratoma (dermoid cyst)
rx epithelial ovarian cancer
debulking (TAH+SBO) + chemo with platinum agents (cisplatinium/carboplatinum)`
types of ovarian germ cell tumor (4) + marker
dysgerminoma - LDH
endodermal sinus/yolk sac - AFP
teratoma - no marker
choriocarcinoma - bHCG
types of ovarian epithelial cell tumor (4)
serous
mucinous
epithelioid
