Cervical cancer research
Surgery for cervical cancer, lymph nodes in the pelvis may be removed to check for cancer spread. Instead of removing many lymph nodes, a technique called sentinel lymph node biopsy can be used to target just the few lymph nodes most likely to contain cancer. In this technique a blue dye containing a radioactive tracer is injected into the cancer and allowed to drain into lymph nodes. If these lymph nodes don’t contain cancer, the other lymph nodes don’t need to be removed. It maps the lymph nodes using with robotic (laparoscopic) assisted near infrared imaging after injecting indocyanine green (icg) dye into the is not a standard procedure for cervical cancer at this time.
Available studies suggest that slnb may be helpful in early-stage cervical cancer, but more studies are planned to see if this procedure should routinely become part of the cancer, the immune system cannot control the fast growth of tumor cells. They have been found to be active in treating a number of types of cancer. Their helpfulness in cervical cancer treatment is not yet known, but clinical trials are underway to find out more. See cancer immunotherapy for more information on this type of es have been developed to prevent infection with some of the hpv types that cause associated with cervical cancer. Currently available vaccines are intended to produce immunity to hpv types that cause about 90% of cervical cancers.
Studies are being done to see how well these vaccines will reduce the risk of cervical es are also being developed to prevent infection with some of the other hpv types that also cause cancer. Studies are being done to see how well these vaccines will reduce the risk of cervical experimental vaccines are also being studied for women with established hpv infections, to help their immune systems destroy the virus and cure the infection before a cancer other vaccines are meant to help women who already have advanced cervical cancer. These vaccines attempt to produce an immune reaction to the parts of the virus (e6 and e7 proteins) that make the cervical cancer cells grow abnormally. It is hoped that this immunity will kill the cancer cells or stop them from growing. One such study in advanced cervical cancer showed tumor shrinkage with a vaccine against the e7 researchers have learned more about the gene changes in cells that cause cancer, they have been able to develop newer drugs that specifically target these changes.
These drugs may be used alone or with more traditional nib is a type of targeted drug that blocks certain growth factors that help cancer cells grow. It has shown to be helpful in some early studies of patients with advanced cervical cancer. This drug continues to be research indicates that adding hyperthermia to radiation may help keep the cancer from coming back and help patients live longer. Hyperthermia is a treatment that raises the temperature in the area where the tumor is, most often by using radiofrequency antennae placed around the american cancer society medical and editorial content team is made up of doctors and master’s-prepared nurses with deep knowledge of cancer care as well as journalists, editors, and translators with extensive experience in medical all references for cervical medical review: november 16, 2016 last revised: december 5, an cancer society medical information is copyrighted material.

2014performing multiple biopsies during a procedure known as colposcopy—visual inspection of the cervix—is more effective than performing only a single biopsy of the worst-appearing area for detecting cervical cancer precursors. This multiple biopsy approach may help to detect disease early and avoid repeated biopsies for women with initial negative findings, according to a new study by researchers at the national cancer institute and their study finds negative hpv screening test result is a better predictor of low cervical cancer risk than a negative pap test. 2014based on a study that included more than 1 million women, investigators at nci have determined that a negative test for hpv infection compared to a negative pap test provides greater safety, or assurance, against future risk of cervical at asco: a brief overview on research in women's cancers. 2014the 2014 annual american society of clinical oncology (asco) meeting in chicago in june highlighted results from a number of nci-supported and -sponsored clinical trial results in women’s cancers. Taken together, these results represent important advances in our understanding of how to treat these diseases and improve the lives of those living with zumab significantly improves survival for patients with recurrent and metastatic cervical cancer.

Because cervical cancer is highly treatable when detected early, researchers are developing better ways to detect precancer and cervical cancer. For example, fluorescent spectroscopy is the use of fluorescent light to detect changes in precancerous cervix prevention. As discussed in the screening and prevention section, hpv vaccines help prevent infection from the hpv strains that cause most cervical cancer. Researchers are looking at the impact of the hpv vaccine on boys to reduce the risk of hpv therapy.
Immunotherapy, also called biologic therapy, is designed to boost the body’s natural defenses to fight the cancer. These vaccines help "train" the immune system to recognize cervical cancer cells and destroy them. Research continues to focus on improving surgical techniques and finding out which patients with cervical cancer can be treated successfully without losing their ability to have children. Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets the cancer’s specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. Drugs called angiogenesis inhibitors that block the action of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) have been shown to help women live longer if they have cervical cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
