... who undoubtedly makes the world a worse place to live in by simply breathing. But does he deserve to be punched in the head? I’m not sure. If anyone deserves to be punched, it’s a neo-Nazi. But the assault did nothing to aid the cause of those opposed to white nationalist movements, and in all likelihood gave these people more incentive to spread their hate. I give this a thumbs sideways because, while I don’t advocate violence and truly believe that when they go low we should go high (shoutout to my girl Michelle), I have no sympathy for white supremacists who support ethnic cleansing. -Samantha Davis, Asst. Opinion Editor. Thumbs Down: Cervical Cancer. You definitely don’t need me to remind you about how scary cancer is, but a new report has found further research on cervical ...

Cervical Cancer Death Rates Much Higher Than Previously Thought

... national death certificate data from the National Center for Health Statistics and from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) national cancer registries and then removed the proportion of women who reported a hysterectomy, a number obtained from a national survey. The rate of cervical cancer mortality among black women over the age of 20 was 5.7 per 100,000 each year and 3.2 per 100,000 each year in white women. The rate in black women jumped to 10.1 per 100,000 per year when corrected for hysterectomy, a rate similar to less developed nations, and to 4.7 per 100,000 per year in white women. Black women are more likely to have hysterectomies, and at younger ages, compared to white women, largely because black women are more susceptible to fibroids - benign masses in the uterus - which can cause symptoms requiring surgery. Including all women in mortality rate calculations underestimated the racial disparity in death rates between black and white women by 44 percent. ...

Bride Suffering Symptoms Diagnosed With Disease Five Days After Honeymoon

... on hold until a relevant time. It’s been difficult, but in the circumstances, sex wasn’t on our mind. The most important thing was Kayleigh and making sure she was well.”. Fortunately, Kayleigh, who is on sick leave from work, has been told she and Rory will still be able to have children, as they have planned, but she says they won’t wait long in case her fertility is affected. Now Kayleigh, who is in remission, wanted to remind other women how important it is to get a smear test. “I didn’t know much about cervical caner before I was diagnosed, but I am so glad I did go and get mine done,” Kayleigh said. “But I am so glad I did go and get mined done. It’s been a rollercoaster with lots of positive thinking but also a few lows, but I’m just so glad I booked that test. Ladies, don’t miss your smear tests. They are so easy to put off, but it’s 10 minutes out of your day that could literally save your life.”. Smear tests provide the best protection against cervical cancer but over one in four women don’t attend their smear ...

Cervical Cancer Has A New Subtype

... cervical cancer treatments to different patients with the discovery of a new subtype of the disease. Although almost all cervical cancers can be traced back to a longlasting infection of human papillomavirus, a study in the journal Oncotarget  found that in some tumors containing DNA of that virus, the HPV was actually inactive — the cancers were triggered by HPV, but the virus did not direct the cancer’s progression. Read: Fighting Ovarian Cancer on Instagram. In those cases, the way the tumor genes expressed themselves was different from cases in which the HPV was active. That could be why they “were associated with poorer survival”: some of those differences in how the tumor genes presented themselves “alter pathways for which targeted therapeutics are available,” meaning they do not have the same vulnerabilities as other cervical cancers. However, the authors also ...

Cervical Cancer Survivor Encourages Women To Get Regular Exams

... virus is high," said Kilgore. Women can be examined for cervical cancer through a Pap Smear. Doctors' opinions differ on how often women should be examined. Kilgore says women do not need to be examined yearly. “Do not test until you're 21. There is no need to until 21, and that’s when you start. Women in their 20’s should be screened every three years. Women in their 30’s every three years or be screened with an HPV test every five years and that’s all they need. Women older than 65 do not need to be examined," said Kilgore. Kilgore says women should visit their OBGYN or family care physician for a pelvic exam yearly. “We’ve got time. From the time you have exposure to virus to time you have invasive cancer is about a decade," said Kilgore. Kilgore says women who have pre-cancerous cells should still be able to carry a child, ...

Screenings, Hpv Vaccine Have Cut Upstate Cervical Cancer Deaths

... or symptoms of early cervical cancer,” says Dr. Mathew Bartels. The number of diagnosed cases of cervical cancer in New York State has dropped nearly 40 percent since 1976, and deaths from the disease fell 50 percent during that same time period, according to research findings issued this month by Univera Healthcare. Still, roughly 20 percent of upstate women age 21 to 65 don’t get screened. “Screenings are very important for early diagnosis, because there typically are no signs or symptoms of early cervical cancer,” said Dr. Matthew Bartels, Univera Healthcare chief medical officer for health care improvement. Forty years ago, 1,300 women in New York were diagnosed with cervical cancer, and there were 500 deaths from the disease. Last year, 800 women in the state were diagnosed with the disease, and there were 250 deaths – numbers that could go lower if testing rates go higher. “The downward trend in cervical cancer diagnoses and deaths is a medical success story that is directly attributable to women getting regular Pap tests to spot precancerous cells before they turn into cancer, and to parents following the Centers for Disease Control and ...

New Cervical Cancer Research Is Personal

... Organization and so many others have been working on identifying and reducing racial disparities in health for years. In this study, researchers suggest as possible factors a lack of access to care, decreased follow-up for abnormal results and disparities in cervical cancer treatments offered. I agree with the study's authors. Access to quality care - something I think all Americans should have - is a crucial component to good health. This study underscores just how important this is. The study also mentions that differences in cancer types may contribute to disparities in age and race: "The rates of adenocarcinoma in black women increase with age, whereas they plateau at the age of 35 in white women. Compared with squamous histology, adenocarcinoma is associated with a worse prognosis and worse survival for both early and late-stage disease.". Follow CNN ...

Erin Andrews' Cervical Cancer Fight Is A Reminder For Women To Get Screened

... me, ‘You’re so strong, for going through all of this, for holding down a job in football, for being the only woman on the crew,’ ” Andrews said. “Finally I got to the point where I believed it too. ‘Hey, I have cancer, but dammit, I am strong, and I can do this.’ ”. Andrews underwent a secondary procedure in early November, after which doctors did not detect any sign of cancer. They determined that she did not need chemotherapy or radiation. What everyone can take away from Andrews’ testimony. Andrews taking her experience public provides a crucial reminder to all women about the importance of getting routine cancer screenings, as an estimated 12,820 American women will be diagnosed with cervical cancer  this year, according to the American Cancer Society. Studies show this type of notice from celebrities actually works: When Angelina Jolie came forward  about carrying a gene mutation and undergoing a ...
