    Precancerous cells (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) that would lead to cancer and early-stage cervical cancer (IA1) can be treated effectively by various surgical techniques. Surgical treatment methods include excision, where a cone-shaped portion of the cervix is removed, and ablation which removes only the parts with abnormal tissues.

    Glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix, also glassy cell carcinoma, is a rare aggressive malignant tumour of the uterine cervix. [1] The tumour gets its name from its microscopic appearance; its cytoplasm has a glass-like appearance.

  4. Cervical cancer staging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_cancer_staging

    Cervical cancer is a type of gynecological cancer that begins from cells lining the cervix, the lower part of the uterus. [14] Cervical cancer begins when the cells that line the cervix become abnormal and grow in a pattern that is atypical for non-cancerous cells. [14] Cervical cancer is typically first identified with an abnormal pap smear. [14]

    It resembles small-cell cancer of the lungs and accounts for less than 3% of all cervical cancers. Like small-cell cancer in the lungs, the lymph nodes play a major role in spreading the cancer throughout the body. SCC begins in the inner part of the cervix and is very hard to diagnose.

  6. Uterine cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_cancer

    Uterine cancer, also known as womb cancer, includes two types of cancer that develop from the tissues of the uterus. [3] Endometrial cancer forms from the lining of the uterus , and uterine sarcoma forms from the muscles or support tissue of the uterus.

    Cervical stenosis, the narrowing of the cervical opening, is a sign of endometrial cancer when pus or blood is found collected in the uterus (pyometra or hematometra). [ 13 ] Women with Lynch syndrome should begin to have annual biopsy screening at the age of 35.

  8. Mixed Müllerian tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_Müllerian_tumor

    Carcinosarcoma of the uterus. In gross appearance, MMMTs are fleshier than adenocarcinomas, may be bulky and polypoid, and sometimes protrude through the cervical os.On histology, the tumors consist of adenocarcinoma (endometrioid, serous or clear cell) mixed with the malignant mesenchymal elements; alternatively, the tumor may contain two distinct and separate epithelial and mesenchymal ...

  9. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia - Wikipedia

    The cause of CIN is chronic infection of the cervix with HPV, especially infection with high-risk HPV types 16 or 18. It is thought that the high-risk HPV infections have the ability to inactivate tumor suppressor genes such as the p53 gene and the RB gene, thus allowing the infected cells to grow unchecked and accumulate successive mutations, eventually leading to cancer.
