cervical cancer is one of the major problems with women. Can this be prevented and how would you assess for it. provide some statistics on the incidence of this on the American female population
Ans) Key in cervical cancer survival:
- Screening and early detection
Strategies for decreasing cervical cancer mortality:
1. minimize HPV exposure risks
2. minimize persistent HPV via a vaccine
3. screen +/- remove precancerous cells
4. catch and treat cervical cancer early
Prevention of cervical cancer:
1. Avoiding risk factors: stop smoking, decrease number of
sexual partners, delay onset of intercourse
2. vaccination
Cervical cancer screening frequency:
1. Annually for life if risk factors present
2. Annually for life if personal history of cervical cancer of
HIV+
Incidence of cervical cancer:
- 12,000 diagnosed, 4,000 die annually
- Noninvasive is more common than invasive
- Mortality rate is higher for African American women than
white.

Discuss the effects of prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Who is at risk and how can it be prevented? Do you think public awareness and early diagnosis of male cancers has changed in recent years, why/why not? Identify two sexually transmitted diseases and discuss their causes, transmission, side effects, and treatment. What does the data show about recent trends in the occurrence/incidence rate of the two sexually transmitted diseases you identified? Discuss strategies to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Please type...
You are conducting a study to estimate rate of uterine cancer in a population of women. You originally recruited a cohort of 1000 50-year-old women; however, 100 of them had already had a hysterectomy (i.e., had their uterus removed in surgery) at the start of the study. That leaves 900 women in your "at-risk" population. You follow each of these 900 women for 10 years, during which 10 women develop incident (new) uterine cancer. (a) Calculate (to the fifth decimal...

Breast cancer is the most common non-skin malignancy among women in the United States, and it is the second leading cause of death from cancer among women (lung cancer ranks Örst). A mammogram is a diagnostic procedure designed to quickly detect breast cancer. Such a test can exhibit two kinds of errors: One error is known as a false positive: The test incorrectly indicates cancer in a healthy woman. The other error (which is more serious error in this situation)...
Write a brief summary on one type of skin cancer. Include in your summary how this type of cancer could be prevented and how it is treated. Post one lifestyle change an individual can make to lessen their risk of developing skin cancer. Does living in the Midwest increase or decrease our chances of developing skin cancer? Who is at risk? What are your thoughts?
A. B. 4.27 Wine and cancer in women. Some studies have sug- gested that a nightly glass of wine may not only take the edge off a day but also improve health. Is wine good for your health? A study of nearly 1.3 million middle-aged British women examined wine consump- tion and the risk of breast cancer. The researchers were interested in how risk changed as wine con- sumption increased. Risk is based on breast cancer rates in drinkers relative...
