Women are diagnosed with this cancer late, when is it important to be careful to avoid the risk of disease?

Kolkata: Cancer in women often goes undiagnosed. Or by the time it’s caught, the disease is well advanced. There are several types of cancer in this list. One of these is cervical cancer. Uterine or ovarian cancer is not caught in time. The main reason for this is not conducting regular examinations. In most cases, the cancer is detected only when the cancer has spread widely within the uterus. The problem is that there are very few avenues open to treatment at that time. Also, in very few cases it is possible to make the patient healthy.

Why is cervical cancer dangerous?

Statistics show that cervical cancer is the fifth leading cause of death among women. Cervical cancer is usually diagnosed in the later stages. That is, in the severe stage of the disease. This results in inadequate treatment. Which leads the patient to death. In this context, Kanab Kumar, a surgical oncologist at the Punyaslok Ahlyadevi Holkar Head and Neck Cancer Institute of India, told IANS that cervical cancer is on the rise due to the lack of routine screening programs. Also, there is a lack of technology that can diagnose the disease earlier. This leaves very few treatment options open to doctors.

A specific diagnostic technique?

On the other hand, Pritam Kataria, consultant medical oncology doctor at Sir H.N Reliance Foundation Hospital, told IANS that there is currently no best technology to diagnose uterine cancer. So C125 estimation needs to be taken. This procedure is not designed specifically for cervical cancer. Rather, this method can indicate multiple diseases. As a result, most patients are diagnosed with the disease after some time has passed.

Why and when this cancer can be?

According to Dr. Kanab Kumar, women may develop this disease due to genetic reasons. Also, there are age-related factors. Menopause occurs around 45-50 years. Since then the risk of cancer also increases. Studies have shown that those who have a late menopause have a higher risk of cancer. Also, the environment also contains several carcinogens. Which can increase the risk of cancer.
