Question

Y is a woman in her early 30's and is being treated for cervicitis and cervical neoplasia, which have no known cause. Y is seeing Dr. T, who has recently tested her for bacterial and viral agents that may be contributing to her disease. She also recently had a colposcopy and cervical biopsy. Dr. T is recommending a treatment called cervical cryosurgery, as all of the other tests suggest no infectious cause and no cervical cancer. Cervical cryosurgery involves removing the superficial layers of the cervix to try and eliminate precancerous cells. Unfortunately, after the surgery, Y's cervical issues return. This leads Dr. T to suggest undergoing another procedure known as cervical conization, removing a chunk of tissue from the endocervix, to send out for biopsy to determine if all precancerous cells have been removed. A risk of this procedure is becoming unable to bear children. If Y wants to have kids, Dr. T suggests immediately trying to conceive, and have the surgery right after pregnancy to reduce the risks.

1. What is the anatomical relationship between the cervix and uterus?

2. What are the current statistics on the frequency of cervical cancer in women? Does race contribute to the development of cervical cancer? How is cervical cancer normally detected/tested for?

3. Cervical cancer is most commonly associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV). Discuss the transmission, contraction, and consequences of HPV infection.

paragraph explanation please

Answer 1
