Large-cell carcinoma (LCC), like small-cell carcinoma (SCC) is very rare and only accounts for about 5% of all cervical cancers. Early-stage LCC are extremely aggressive and difficult to diagnose due to the sub-mucosal location of the tumor and intact overlying mucosa. As with SCC, in LCC early cases are asymptomatic.
Cervical cancer typically develops from precancerous changes called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia over 10 to 20 years. [3] About 75% of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, 20-25% are adenocarcinoma, 3% are adenosquamous carcinomas and less than 1% are small cell neuroendocrine tumors of the cervix. [19]
Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) has long been divided into two clinicopathological stages, termed limited stage (LS) and extensive stage (ES). [8] The stage is generally determined by the presence or absence of metastases, whether or not the tumor appears limited to the thorax, and whether or not the entire tumor burden within the chest can feasibly be encompassed within a single radiotherapy ...
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.
This is a shortened version of the second chapter of the ICD-9: Neoplasms. It covers ICD codes 140 to 239 . The full chapter can be found on pages 101 to 144 of Volume 1, which contains all (sub)categories of the ICD-9.
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.
Nearly 90% of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Cervical cancers may also be a mix between squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas, known as adenosquamous carcinoma. [14] Cervical cancer spreads directly from the cervix into surrounding organs and via the lymphatic system. [16]
