  2. Cervical Cancer is cancer in the cervix (the lower part of the cervix that connects to the vagina.)

  3. Causes: Abnormal Change in tissue • Human Papillomavirus • There are 80 types of HPV • Transmitted Sexually • Cause 90% of Cervical Cancer • Cause Genital Warts

  4. Symptoms • Unusual Vaginal Discharge • Bleeding or “spotting” outside of menstruation • Pain or vaginal bleeding during sexual intercourse • Post- menopausal bleeding • Pain during urination • Pelvic Pain

  5. Risk Factors • Unprotected Sex • Multiple Sex partners • Using Oral Contraceptives • Immunosuppression • Smoking • Chlamydia

  6. Treatment • Radiation • Surgery • Chemotherapy • New drugs still on clinical trials

  7. Prevention • Vaccines (Gradasil, Cervarix) • Protected Sex • Regular Pap Tests

  8. Scientific Article Human papilloma vaccines launch a era of cervical cancer prevention. This was a study to see which vaccine was better gardasil or ceravix
