STAGES OF CERVICAL CANCER. Staging for carcinoma of cervix involves clinical features, surgical and pathological evaluation.  Tests that examine the cervix are used to detect (find) and diagnose cervical cancer. The following stages are used for cervical cancer: Carcinoma in Situ (Stage 0) Stage I Stage II Stage III Stage IV Stages of Carcinoma of Cervix Carcinoma in Situ (Stage 0) In carcinoma in situ (stage 0), abnormal cells are found in the innermost lining of the cervix. These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage I In stage I cancer is strictly confirmed to the cervix.  Stage I is divided into stages IA and IB, based on the amount of cancer that is found.         Stage IA: A very small amount of cancer that can only be seen with a microscope   is found in the   tissues   of the   cervix .  Stage IA is divided into stages IA1 and IA2, based on the size of the   tumor . In stage IA1:  the cancer is no

The Cervix is the lower part (narrow ending ) of the uterus/womb in the Female Reproductive System. Female reproductive system Cervical Cancer Cervical Cancer is highly preventable in most Western countries because screening and test  and a vaccine  to prevent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are available. When cervical cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and associated with long survival and good quality of life. Cervical Cancer affecting different parts of uterus CAUSES OF CERVICAL CANCER. Human Papillomavirus Infection (HPV) Human papillovirus HPV is most common cause about 90% of the Cervical Cancer, However not all HPV infection lead to Cancer other cause

HOW TO TREAT AND PREVENT PEPTIC ULCERS.

TREATMENT OF PEPTIC ULCERS. Treatment of peptic ulcers depend greatly on the underlying cause of the Ulcers and clinical presentation. Usually treatment involves cessation or reduction of NSAIDs use by substitute them with other pain medications, promote Ulcers healing, neutralize/reduction of Stomach Acid and eradication of H. pylori Bacterium. Here I will discuss basic and most common medications to treat peptic Ulcers . Acid Neutralizing Drugs (Antacids). Neutralization of secreted Stomach Acid with Antacids constituted the main form of therapy for Peptic Ulcers and Indigestion. The most common Antacids are Aluminium hydroxide and Magnesium hydroxide and they available as tablets or syrup. Antacid can provide relief of the symptoms and not Ulcers heal. Antacid neutralize secreted stomach acid Medications that inhibit or reduce Acid secretion/production known as H-2 Receptor Antagonists. These includes Cimetidine 400 mg, Ranitidine 300 mg,

PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS

PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE En-comprises both Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers, depending on location of ulcer; Gastric Ulcer found on Stomach while Duodenal Ulcer found in first part of small intestine known as Duodenum. Peptic Ulcers are referred as breaks / erosion in the mucosal surface (about 5 mm in size) with depth to the submucosal of Stomach and Duodenum. Gastric Ulcer CAUSES OF PEPTIC ULCER. The most important cause of Peptic Ulcers is Infection with Helicobacter Pylori and long term use of group of medications such as Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs); Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori). H. Pylori is the bacterium (Gram Negative micro-aerophilic rod) found in most common in the deeper portion of the mucosa gel coating Stomach mucosa or between the mucosa layer and the gastric epithelium. People who are infected with H. pylori are at higher risk of developing Peptic Ulcers. It confirmed in laboratory by number of tests depend on the situ
