Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in India in women accounting for 22.86% of all cancer cases in women and 12% of all cancer cases in both men and women. The incidence of cervical cancer is higher in economically backward countries due to lack of screening programs and education. Globocan 2018 data -New cases registered: 96,922 ;Deaths: 60,078.Median age: 38 years (age 21–67 years).Rural women are at higher risk of developing cervical cancer as compared to their urban counterparts. Cervical cancer is the third largest cause of cancer mortality in India accounting for nearly 10% of all cancer related deaths in the country .Survival rate-The relative five year survival averages to 48.7% .Length of survival depends on the cancer stage at the time of detection. The survival chance of a person becomes better if the cervical cancer is detected and treated at earlier stages. Therefore it is important to avail of cervical cancer screening. Conventional radiological investigations used for International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) staging of cervical carcinoma often under diagnose; thereby leading to inappropriate treatment which advocates computed tomography scan as a mandate staging modality prior to initiation of therapy.CT is useful in staging advanced disease and in monitoring patients for recurrence.
