Two Types of Cervical Carcinoma Type I Cervical Cancers (Slow-Growing) EXTENSIVE CIN3 Limited Superficial Invasive Cancer Type II Cervical Cancers LIMITED, NONDIAGNOSTIC, OR HIDDEN CIN3/AIS Subsurface Invasive Cancer may remain asymptomatic until cervical rupture
Agency for Healthcare Policy and Research Evidence Report/Technology Assessment Number 5 Evaluation of Cervical Cytology (1999)
Cervical Cancer Cases per 100,000 women screened ages 15-85 ( “Evaluation of Cervical Cytology” 1999 )
Case #1: Aggressive Squamous Carcinoma in a Young Woman • 10 yrs before SCC dx: Pap “Benign cellular changes” • 9 yrs before SCC dx: Pap “Inflammatory changes” Class I • 7 yrs before SCC dx: WNL atrophy • 6 yrs before SCC dx: WNL atrophy • 3 yrs before SCC dx: Negative
Cervical Biopsy- Age 26 • Bloody discharge • Beefy red abnormal-appearing cervix, clinically suspicious for cancer
Diagnosis • Stage 1B cervical squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed at age 26, 3 ½ yrs later free of disease Treatment • Hysterectomy • Chemoradiation
Case#1: Issues • Likelihood of symptoms in Stage I cervical carcinoma is only around 15%. • Less cellular abnormal Pap smears are more likely to result in false negative screening test results. • Smaller CIN3 lesions will shed fewer abnormal cells.
