Dr. Natarajan Suresh, Dr. A. Josephine
Abstract :
Cancer of the cervix uteri is the most common cancer among women
In India .Although screening procedure like pap smear is being employed for
early detection ,cancer cervix remains as one of leading cause of death in
female malignancies..The association of several risk factors including
promiscuity, multiple sexual partners, and intercourse at an early age, oral
contraceptives, smoking and infection by human papillomavirus are well known
in the developmentof invasive cervical cancer. The present retrospective clinico
pathological study is undertaken to analyse the clinical presentation, age
incidence and histomorphological pattern of carcinoma cervix.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:During the four year period of study (June 2009 to October 2013) ,a total of 173 cervical biopsies, which were diagnosed as invasive carcinoma of cervix in the Department of Pathology, in a tertiary care hospital, were included in the study. Four micrometer thickness sections from paraffin embedded blocks were subjected to routine Haematoxylin and Eosin staining procedure. The data was analyzed for the age incidence, clinical presentation, histopathological types of carcinoma cervix .
RESULTS: Out of 173 cases of invasive cervical carcinoma analyzed 163 cases were of Squamous Cell carcinoma (94.21%) out of which large cell nonkeratinising SCC account for 95.3% & Large cell keratinizing account for 4.70% of cases .Seven cases of (4.04%) of adenocarcinoma and one case of glassy cell carcinoma and two cases of adenosquamous were also encountered. The highest incidence of carcinoma cervix was in the fourth to fifth decade with bleeding with white discharge per vaginum as the most common presenting complaint.
CONCLUSION: INDIA has a huge burden of cancer cervix and a multipronged screening modalities like conventional Pap, Liquid based cytology and HPV DNA testing are necessary to prevent and remove this scourge from our country
