A

HPV 18

Bad news bears, prevalence is rising

26
Q

Sx of cervical CA

A

often NONE

Abnormal vaginal bleeding if any

27
Q

What is the only GYN CA that is CLINICALLY staged rather than based on Histology?

A

CERVICAL CA

Figo staging

28
Q

What else do you need to consider ordering with Cervical CA?

A

CXR or CT to r/u Thoracic/chest METs

29
Q

Made of collagen, smooth muscle, and elastin

surrounded by pseudocapsule

A

Uterine fibroids

30
Q

Uterine fibroids are classified by location

A

Submucosal (beneath endometrium): often cause AUB and infertility

Subserosal

Intramural

31
Q

Diagnostic choice for Uterine fibroids

A

Transvaginal US

32
Q

These are 2-3x more common in African American women

A

Uterine fibroids

33
Q

GnRH analog- Depot Lupron

to tx uterine fibroids

A

decreases fibroid size

good for near menopausal women

dont use longer than 6 mo

34
Q

Steroidal (MIRENA) to treat uterine fibroids

NOT for submucosal

A

for long, heavy periods

Mirena, birth control, Nuvaring

35
Q

Tarnexamic acid “Lysteda” to treat uterine fibroids

NOT for submucosal

A

for long heavy periods

use only during menses

this is an oral anti-fibrinolytic

36
Q

What tx is ONLY for submucosal fibroids?

A

Hysteroscopy- preserves Fertility

heated loop resects fibroids

risk of fluid overload- monitor IandOs

37
Q

Myomectomy for tx of fibroids

A

must have C section after this if you have future children

38
Q

Endometrial ablation

A

Have to remove fibroids first b4 doing this to wall

for Menorrhagia (heavy period)

CANT HAVE KIDS after this

39
Q

Uterine Artery Embolization (inject the embolizing agent via catheter)

A

CANT HAVE KIDS in future

only for Small fibroid

(CONTRA if large or many fibroids)

have to stay overnight: iv opioids post procedure

40
Q

Adenomyoma

A

endometrial material grows INTO myometrium (uterus muscle)

41
Q

Hx of previous uterine surgery should clue you into thinking about

A

Adenomyoma

42
Q

How to make a definitive diagnosis of Adenomyoma?

A

Hysterectomy!!! need histology

43
Q

Tx (also the diagnosis) of this Adenomyoma

A

Hysterectomy

44
Q

Premenstrual pelvic pain, relieved by period

A

Endometriosis

45
Q

Endometrial gland/stroma growth OUTSIDE of the endometrial cavity

A

Endometriosis

46
Q

Why is Endometriosis more painful before period

A

Estrogen and Prog stimulate the growth of lesions, but limited by Fibrosis which causes pressure and inflammation

47
Q

“Chocolate cysts” on ovaries

red, petechial lesions

thickness and scarring

A

Endometriosis

48
Q

Laparoscopy is the only way to dx:

A

Endometriosis

49
Q

Goal of tx for Endometriosis

A

STOP PERIOD to interrupt the stimulation of endometrial tissue

*Mirena (progestin) preferred
Birth control
Depot
Excision
Hysterectomy
50
Q

Endometrial hyperplasia

A

Unopposed Estrogen

51
Q

Risk factor for Endometrial hyperplasia

A

Obesity, obesity, obesity

52
Q

Most common sx of Endometrial Hyperplasia

A

Bleeding changes
or
POST MENOPAUSAL bleeding

53
Q

Tx for Endometrial Hyperplasia without Atypia

A

Rely on Prog hormone to help you

Mirena IUD
Provera

54
Q

Tx for Endometrial Hyperplasia with ATypica

A

HYSTERECTOMY is tx of choice d/t increased risk of CA

if still want to have kids, high dose Progesterone

55
Q

1 Most common GYN CA

A

Endometrial CA

56
Q

Type 1 vs Type 2 of Endometrial CA

A

Type 1: d/t unopposed Estrogen, better prognosis

Type 2: seen w endometrial atrophy, poor prognosis

57
Q

A

ADENOCARCINOMA is most common accounting for 80%

58
Q

Endometrial CA (#1) is most common in what subtype of women

A

Caucasian

and Estrogen is a causative factor

59
