How many new cases of cervical cancer are there each year in the world? What should we pay attention to in preventing cervical cancer?

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the female reproductive system. In recent years, the incidence rate among young women has shown a clear upward trend. Due to the lack of awareness of early screening, the incidence rate of cervical cancer in my country is 6 times that of developed countries. Experts from Panyu Sanatorium said that cervical cancer is the only cancer among all human cancers that can be eliminated through early prevention and treatment. As long as regular screening is carried out, cervical cancer can be prevented and treated.

According to data, there are about 500,000 new cases of cervical cancer every year in the world, and more than 200,000 women die from the disease every year. In developing countries, cervical cancer is a common gynecological tumor. In my country, there are 131,500 new cases every year.

In the past, cervical cancer mostly occurred between the ages of 40 and 60, with the incidence increasing with age and gradually decreasing after menopause. In recent years, the disease has become younger and younger, with the average age dropping from 52 years old 10 years ago to 45 years old, or even 17 to 18 years old.

1. Reasons for marriage and childbearing

The vast majority of cervical cancer patients are married women, which is rare in unmarried women, especially nuns. Some people believe that sperm is one of the causes of cervical cancer. Semen has a strong mutation-promoting effect on the squamous epithelium of the cervix. Especially for adolescent women, the cervical epithelium is in a highly sensitive period, and the inducement of semen is more dangerous. In addition, according to epidemiological surveys, only 10% of nulliparous women suffer from cervical cancer; premature births have a high incidence of cervical cancer. This may be related to factors such as cervical tearing and damage during delivery, low immune function during pregnancy, and cervical epithelial cells are susceptible to external pathogenic factors. Therefore, the number of deliveries also has a certain impact on the occurrence of cervical cancer.

2. Pathogen Causes

Various pathogens are closely related to cervical cancer, especially papillomavirus (HpV), herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

3. Cervical inflammation and trauma

The presence of cervical erosion and childbirth trauma can aggravate reproductive tract infection and increase the risk of cervical cancer.

You should know the "three steps" to prevent and treat cervical cancer

The first step is to use the new diagnostic technology "New Prepace" to test.

The earlier gynecological diseases are discovered and treated systematically, the more they can be prevented from turning into cancer. The American New Predator TCT technology is the world's most advanced cervical disease detection system. It is very accurate in screening for early malignant changes in cervical diseases and uterine rehabilitation, significantly improving the diagnosis rate of cervical cancer, especially precancerous diseases, and greatly reducing the missed diagnosis rate. Since Nanfeng Hospital introduced this technology in April, many women have made accurate diagnoses.

The second step is a colposcopy.

A colposcope is a non-invasive endoscope. If a high-grade lesion is suspected after the "New Prep" test, a colposcope is needed to examine the cervical biopsy tissue in the suspicious area to understand the development stage of the cervical lesions in these women, and then perform precancerous treatment based on the analysis results to block the development of cervical cancer.

The third step is to use a lip knife to remove cervical cancer lesions.

The Lip Knife is a high-frequency wave knife and a new method for treating cervical precancerous lesions. It can be used to complete special treatments for cervical diseases such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, nanocysts, and cervical precancerous lesions. Compared with traditional cone resection, the Lip Knife has high surgical quality, fewer postoperative complications, and no effect on fertility. It has the advantages of fast speed, quick effect, less tissue damage, clean wounds, strong safety, no anesthesia, and return home after surgery, which greatly reduces the treatment cost of patients.
