With New Detection This Ancestor Cervical Cancer Can Be Predicted

As one type of deadly cancer for women , cervical cancer or cervical cancer should get more attention . Besides detected with a Pap smear , the technology is now there to prevent it . Namely the detection of virus Human Papilloma Virus ( HPV ) .

Cervical cancer is a malignancy that occurs on the neck of the womb ( cervix ) which is the lowest part of the uterus that protrudes into the vagina peak . Starting from the cervix into the vagina , next gradually will spread if not given treatment . The disease is common in women aged 30-50 years .

" The results of the Pap smear shows abnormal cells in the cervix normally , so there is no signs of pre - cancerous . Question is whether the HPV virus exists or not . Could be normal this year , next year is normal, but if the virus might actually be checked there , just not developed or has entered into a cell and is in the process of evolving , " said Dr. Sandy Qlintang , Division of Biopharma Innogene Kalbiotech .

That he told detikHealth in discussions that were held at StemCell media & Cancer Institute , Jl Gen. Achmad Yani , Jakarta , Thursday ( 10/24/2013 ) .

" We can now detect the HPV virus . So when there tested positive for the HPV virus , but a normal Pap smear results , then this could be a warning for the woman . Means that he should be careful because there is virus . These women need to be more vigilant and need routine detection , for example, regularly every year , "said Dr. Sandy .

Currently Dr. Sandy regretted that many women are reluctant to perform routine checks if the results are normal continuous . So by doing this virus detection , women are expected to pay more attention to the risk for cervical cancer . So how is the process of sampling the detection of HPV virus ?

"The way that they were taken through the cervix , just like a pap smear . We are still looking for another way , is it through blood, urine , technical -technical but still in the research . Thing to note , the HPV virus transmission can occur through sexual intercourse . During lady has not had sexual intercourse , she can be said to be safe , "
