I have a question that perhaps you may be able to answer: If a woman's ovarian cyst ruptures, (especially multiple cysts from PCOS) can these ruptured cysts become an infection? aleksandr_kavokin@pacificarticles.com (Al K) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3359/1/Cervical-Cancer-the-End-is-Near/Cervical-Cancer-the-End-is-Near.html Is it true a vaccine to end the threat of cervical cancer? Chock one up for modern science, maybe it is good that the Drug Companies are making such high profits after all and have so many lobbyists in Washington D.C. if they can keep solving these problems that plague mankind or in this case Womankind. lance_winslow@pacificarticles.com (Lance Winslow) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3358/1/Pap-Test-Screening-for-Cervical-Cancer/Pap-Test-Screening-for-Cervical-Cancer.html How serious is it to get paps test screening to reduce your chances of cervical cancer? One of the best ways to prevent cervical cancer is to watch for the HPV virus. There are a couple ways that pap tests are done. lance_winslow@pacificarticles.com (Lance Winslow) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3357/1/Cervical-Cancer-Risk-Reduction/Cervical-Cancer-Risk-Reduction.html Of all the common cancer that affect woman, cervical cancer is among the top list. Sexually transmitted HPV (human papillomavirus) is the culprit in most cases of cervical cancers. Over half of the cervical cancer reported cases occur in women between 40 and 55 although it is not uncommon for women of 35 to be amongst the risk group. lance_winslow@pacificarticles.com (Lance Winslow) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3356/1/Ovarian-Cancer-and-High-in-Fat-and-Meat-Diets/Ovarian-Cancer-and-High-in-Fat-and-Meat-Diets.html Many have speculated that high diets of fat and/or meat might increase the risks of getting ovarian cancer for women. Yet most dairy and meat associations defend their products and say that there is not comprehensive studies or research that can confirm this, in fact they say that the industries are unnecessarily being condemned for something that is most likely completely false and conjecture at best. lance_winslow@pacificarticles.com (Lance Winslow) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3355/1/Serious-Cervical-Cancer-Stages-and-Treatments/Serious-Cervical-Cancer-Stages-and-Treatments.html Serious cases of cervical cancer can be successfully treated, although it is best to catch cervical cancer early. The best way to do this is with regular, routine and periodic paps tests. In the invasive stage more drastic measures need to be taken to stop the spread of cancer and even in this case if the cancer has not moved beyond the cervics there is nearly a 90% rate of survival. lance_winslow@pacificarticles.com (Lance Winslow) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3354/1/Ovarian-Cancer-Prevention/Ovarian-Cancer-Prevention.html Ovarian cancer risks can be reduced.

Heart-wrenching, for sure. Especially sad when the woman has a husband and two small children. But for cancer patient Kellie Main Foret, you just can’t make any assumptions or guess what her next move will be. lauren_hobson@pacificarticles.com (Lauren Hobson) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3349/1/Drinking-Tea-May-Guard-Against-Ovarian-Cancer/Drinking-Tea-May-Guard-Against-Ovarian-Cancer.html Consuming two or more cups of tea a day over a period of time may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer dramatically, suggests a new study. Women who drank two or more cups of tea per day experienced a 46 percent lower risk of ovarian cancer, compared with women who drank no tea. Each additional cup of tea was associated with an 18 percent decreased risk of ovarian cancer. nicole_weaver@pacificarticles.com (Nicole Weaver) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3348/1/Was-Your-Ovarian-Cancer-Misdiagnosed/Was-Your-Ovarian-Cancer-Misdiagnosed.html About 50 percent of ovarian cancer patients are already at an advanced stage by the time a correct diagnosis is made. Four in 10 women with ovarian cancer have symptoms that they tell their doctors about at least four months — and as long as one year — before they are diagnosed.

Therefore, a woman considering the procedure should take time to investigate all her options, including other possible treatments. There are now new treatments for conditions that previously would have required a hysterectomy. Women advised to have a hysterectomy for a non-cancerous condition before being offered more conservative treatments may find it beneficial to seek a second opinion. jackie_harvey@pacificarticles.com (Jackie L.

Some women, however, may feel some symptoms, like pelvic pain, even in the early stages. As the symptoms are vague and are often similar to those of common benign conditions, the victims often tend to ignore them. eddie_tobey@pacificarticles.com (Eddie Tobey) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3340/1/Ovarian-Cancer-Treatments/Ovarian-Cancer-Treatments.html The course of treatment for ovarian cancer is normally determined by the stage of the disease.

Among these cells are surface epithelial cells, germ cells, and the sex cord-stromal cells. This is why cancer cells that metastasize from other organ sites to the ovary are not called ovarian cancer. Breast and colon cancers are examples of such cancers. eddie_tobey@pacificarticles.com (Eddie Tobey) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3338/1/Ovarian-Cancer-Stages/Ovarian-Cancer-Stages.html By the stage of a cancer we try to express how far the disease has spread. It is crucial, as treatment is mostly decided depending on the stage of a cancer. For ovarian cancer, doctors use a simple I-IV staging system called the FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) system. eddie_tobey@pacificarticles.com (Eddie Tobey) Tue, 17 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/3337/1/Uterus-Cancer-How-Dangerous-is-It/Uterus-Cancer-How-Dangerous-is-It.html Endometrial cancer is the most common type of uterus cancer.
