Uterus and Cervix01:18

Uterus and Cervix

The uterus, commonly called the womb, is a vital reproductive organ in females designed to provide a nurturing environment for the implantation and growth of an embryo. It is shaped like a hollow pear and positioned between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The uterus's structure allows it to support and protect a developing fetus throughout pregnancy.
The uterus is securely anchored within the pelvic cavity by paired broad ligaments on either side. It is further stabilized by three pairs of...
Disorders of the Female Reproductive System01:24

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...
Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
Cancer02:18

Cancer

Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Gynecologic Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cervical imaging is crucial for both benign and malignant conditions.
  • Established modalities include transvaginal ultrasound, CT, MRI, and PET-CT.
  • Imaging plays a significant role in cervical carcinoma management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the imaging features of malignant and benign cervical lesions.
  • To illustrate the utility of various imaging modalities in cervical disease.
  • To emphasize the role of imaging in diagnosis, staging, and treatment selection.

Main Methods:

  • Review of imaging features for cervical malignancies and benign lesions.
  • Discussion of transvaginal ultrasound, CT, MRI, and PET-CT applications.
  • Correlation of imaging findings with histopathological diagnoses.

Main Results:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging, CT, and PET-CT are frequently used for cervical carcinoma staging, treatment selection, and assessing recurrence.
  • Imaging features can suggest underlying diagnoses but cannot replace histopathology.
  • Common benign cervical lesions and their imaging characteristics are described.

Conclusions:

  • Imaging is indispensable for evaluating cervical diseases, particularly cancer.
  • While not definitive, imaging provides crucial diagnostic clues and aids in management decisions.
  • Understanding imaging features of both benign and malignant cervical lesions is vital for patient care.
