Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.8K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Cancer02:18

Cancer

54.5K
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.

What is Cancer?02:12

What is Cancer?

14.5K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

8.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Cancer Therapies

10.2K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

1.1K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Regular cervical cancer screening, including cytology and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, is vital for early detection and prevention. Guidelines recommend starting screening at age 21.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cervical cancer incidence and mortality are reduced through screening programs.
  • High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is linked to over 99% of cervical cancers.
  • Screening methods include cytology (Papanicolaou test) and HPV testing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize current screening recommendations for cervical cancer.
  • To highlight the association between HPV and cervical cancer.
  • To inform about age-based screening intervals and methods.

Main Methods:

  • Review of guidelines from organizations like the American Academy of Family Physicians and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
  • Description of recommended screening protocols based on age and risk factors.
  • Mention of the role of cytology and HPV testing.

Main Results:

  • Screening should commence at age 21 for immunocompetent, asymptomatic women.
  • Women aged 21-29 should undergo cytology every three years.
  • Women aged 30-65 have options including co-testing or primary HPV testing every three to five years.

Conclusions:

  • Screening is not advised for women under 21 or over 65 with negative screening history.
  • Guidelines are being updated, with interim guidance for primary HPV testing available.
  • Effective screening strategies are crucial for managing cervical intraepithelial neoplasias and cervical cancer.
