>>JENNIFER READY: WHEN YOU LIVE HEALTHY JANUARY IS CERVICAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH AND
ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN
CANCER SOCIETY MORE THAN 13,000
WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO BE
DIAGNOSED THIS YEAR.
AND LIKE SO MANY CANCERS EARLY
DIAGNOSIS AND PREVENTION
ARE KEY. JOINING US. NOW IS
MAYO CLINIC GYNECOLOGIC
ONCOLOGIST DOCTOR MATTHEW
ROBERTSON DOCTOR THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR BEING WITH US THIS
MORNING.
WHAT IS CERVICAL CANCER AND WHO
DOES IT PRIMARILY A FACT.
>> CERVICAL CANCER IS
WHERE EITHER THE OUTSIDE OF THE CERVIX THE ACTORS SERVICE WHICH IS VISIBLE WHEN ONE DOESN’T
CAPTURE IS INVOLVED WITH CANCEL
THE NEW THAT’S THE MOST TYPICAL
FORM WITH THAT’S A SCREAM OR SO
OF COURSE A NUMBER JUST LIKE
THE SCAN AND THEY WERE ON
OUR BODY ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME
IT WILL BE THE GLANDS AND
ALARMING OF THE
INDUSTRIAL CANAL. AND OBVIOUSLY
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A
UNFORTUNATELY ONLY AFFECTING
WOMEN.
>>JENNIFER READY: WHAT ARE THE
UNUSUAL SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS THAT
WOMEN SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR.
>> WELL THE I
MOST IMPORTANT POINT
IS THAT EARLY CERVICAL
CANCERS ARE TYPICALLY
ARE ASYMPTOMATIC AND THAT
THEREFORE EMPHASIZES THE NEED
FOR APPROPRIATE SCREENING.
IT’S ONLY WHEN THE CERVICAL
CANCER BECOMES YOUR WARD THEY
ARE SUCH THAT WE TEND TO THE
SYMPTOMS OF IRREGULAR BLEEDING.
ALL TONIGHT AS HEAVY MENSTRUAL
BLEEDING. THERE TO BE AND
WATERY YOU CAN
SEE DISCHARGE OR A LOT OF
STORMS ALSO BE BLEEDING AFTER
INTERCOURSE BUT BY THAT TIME
WERE USUALLY DEALING WITH A
FAIRLY LARGE LESIONS OBVIOUSLY
WE WOULD PREFER
TO FIX IT SO MUCH EARLIER WHICH
MUCH EASIER TO CURE.
>>JENNIFER READY: AND YOU
MENTIONED THE IMPORTANCE OF
SCREENING HOW DO WE SCREEN FOR
IT AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD WOMEN
BE GETTING SCREENED.
>> GREAT QUESTIONS AND THIS IS
AN AREA. THERE’S A LOT OF
DEBATE AND I THINK WE’RE GOING
TO SEE IN THE NEXT
2 YEARS. DIFFERENT NATIONAL AND
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
COMING TOGETHER AND GIVING US
CLEAR DIRECTION.
AS OF RIGHT NOW WE CAN DO
SEVERAL THINGS NUMBER WORN WE
CAN GO WITH THE TRADITIONAL PAP
SMEAR WHICH IS WHERE THE CERVIX
ELSE HERE
IS WALL. AND IT IS PLAYED ON A
MICROSCOPE SLIDE IN THE CELLS
THEMSELVES ARE EVALUATED.
DOCTOR HAPPENED NIKOLAI PERHAPS
YOUR DOCTOR
IF YOU HOW TO MAKE A LOT OF
DEVELOP THIS IN MY TO 40 WANT
TO SOAR. WAS WIDELY ADOPTED IN
THE MID 50’S IMPORTANCE
BY THE 19 80’S SO IN 30 YEARS
WE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY
DECREASE INCIDENCE OF CERVICAL
CANCERS COUNTRY BY 70%.
SO WE CAN EITHER DO JUST THE
PAST
YEAR ITSELF. EVERY 3 YEARS SO
LONG AS THEY ARE NEGATIVE.
AND THE CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS
WOULD BE IN STORE AFTER AGE 21.
CONVERSELY WE HAVE NOW LEARNED THAT 99.7% OF ALL CERVICAL CANCERS ARE DUE TO HPV
HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS. IT
HAPPENED ON A VIRUSES OR
THROUGHOUT
THE ENTIRE ANIMAL KINGDOM
OBVIOUSLY HPV THE HUMAN
PAPILLOMA VIRUS IS THERE OVER A
140 SOME
DIFFERENT TYPES. IF SOMEONE IS
USING ONLY
HPV TESTING. THE
CURRENT
2020 GUIDELINES TO AMERICAN
CANCER SOCIETY SAY THAT WE CAN
USE THAT EVERY
5 YEARS OR TO SORT OF HAVE MORE
MIXED TO
THESE DIFFERENT OPTIONS WE CAN
COMBINE THE 2 WHICH IS CALLED
COAT TESTING. WE LOOK AT THE
CELLS IN GET HPV STAFF
ARE TESTING THAT ALSO CAN BE
DONE EVERY 5 YEARS LONG AS BOTH
NORMAL. AND THEN WARM OR
VARIANT IF YOU WILL OF THIS IS
TO DO THE PAP SMEAR AND IF IT
BECOMES A SOLDIER ABNORMAL THEM
TO DO REFLECTS HPV TESTING
ONCE AGAIN THAT WILL BE WHEN
THEY SHOP YEAR BASIS.
>>JENNIFER READY: AND REAL
QUICKLY BEFORE WE LET YOU GO
THERE IS A VACCINE AVAILABLE
THAT
CAN HELP PROTECT WOMEN AND
REDUCE THE RATES OF CERVICAL
CANCER TELL US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT.
>> THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE GEORGIA. SO VACCINE IS A WOULD CALL A IT IMMUNIZERS
GETS 9 DIFFERENT TYPES OF HPV
VIRUS. AND AS YOU SAID IT
PROTECTS WOMEN. IT ALSO
PROTECTS
>> LONG AS
THOSE MEASURE FOR IN JEWEL
CANCERS OR HPV POSITIVE.
THERE. MICHAEL UNFORTUNATELY
WITH
SALES SO THE VACCINE SHOULD BE
GIVEN ADMINISTERED IF
YOU WILL TYPICALLY AGES
11 TO 12. AT THAT 0.2 DOSES
ARE REQUIRED. WARREN HAS
ADMINISTERED IN A SECOND THAT
ACTUALLY WAS A MINISTER OF 6
MONTHS LATER. WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION ACTUALLY SAYS THIS
MAY OCCUR AS EARLY AS AGE NOT
OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE
THE VACCINE PRIOR TO INITIATION
OF ACTIVITY TO PREVENT.
HPV INFECTION.
IF ONE SEES OF ACTUALLY AFTER
AGE 15 WE’RE GOING TO GIVE
FREE. VACCINATIONS
STREET DOSAGE. MOST INSURANCE
IS WILL COVER THIS UP TO
26 HOUR. ALL WE SHOULD BE IN
IS CURRENTLY FDA APPROVED UP TO
AGE 45 OR BELIEVE SO THE
IMPORTANT THING IS ANY OF US
CAN BE EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS.
AND ALL OF US SHOULD BE
VACCINATED.
>>JENNIFER READY: DOCTOR
MATTHEW ROBERTSON, THANK YOU SO
