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
Brenner’s
risk factor epithelial tumor of ovary
ovulation (multiple ovulations)
multiple pregnancies and OCPs protective
two genetic syndromes increase risk for ovarian tumor?
BRCA1/2
HNPCC
how to dx, stage, and track ovarian tumor
dx - TVUS
stage - CT
track - CA-125
How to minimize ovarian tumor risk in BRCA1 patients
yearly TVUS and CA-125
prophylactic TAH/SBO @ age 35
2 types of stromal cell (ovarian tumor)
granulosa - theca cell . - estrogen producing
sertoli-leydig - testosterone
features of benign vs not so benign adnexal mass
-smooth, small, no septations - simple cyst, no further work up
large septations, loculated - less likely benign
how does choriocarcinoma typically present
hyperemesis gravidarum
red lesion on vagina that is itching, dx and rx
paget’s disease of vagina
(biopsy and wide local excision)…generally does not invade, good prognosis
SCC and melanoma are usually black and itchy, not red
3 vulvar cancers
SCC (can be HPV related)
melanoma
Paget’s
grape like mass in vagina; dx and what exposure to check for?
vaginal adenocarcinoma
DES exposure in utero
vulvar lesion, non-itchy, hx of multiple STIs, acetic acid changes color of lesion to white
dx and rx
condyloma accuminata (HPV) rx with imiquimod/podophyllin vs excision for larger lesions
post menopausal vaginal itching, dyspareunia, porcelain white lesions, thinning of vulvar skin
dx and rx
lichen sclerosis
rx topical CORTICOSTEROIDS
not estrogen (vaginal atrophy, dryness)
how does complete mole form?
bad egg + single sperm that doubles it’s chromosomes (normal chromosome number but all from sperm)
“COMPLETELY without fetal parts”
increased bhcg can imitate what hormone
hyperthyroidism
can also cause hyperemesis gravidarum
How to dx molar disease
TVUS shows “snowstorm appearance”
how to monitor molar disease
after treatment with suction curretage , do serial bHCGs while on reliable OCPs for 12 months
how does an incomplete form?
one egg + 2 sperm
causes (69 XXY/XXX)
rising hcg despite good contraception
invasive molar disease/choriocarcinoma
when can choriocarcinoma occur?
molar pregnancy
after miscarriage
after NORMAL pregnancy even
