Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably, destroying tissues. A malignant tumor arises from cells in the cervix, the lower portion of the uterus (womb) that links the uterus to the vagina (birth canal), and is known as cervical cancer. One of the most significant global community health problems is cancer, which sees a daily increase in the number of sufferers. Therefore, it is crucial to expand our understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of cervical cancer and to suggest new therapeutic goals as well as new techniques for early detection of the illness. Since early diagnosis of pathologies can dramatically increase a patient's chance of survival, prognosis, and recurrence. This article aims to educate readers about some essential concepts surrounding cervical cancer, including the various types of cervical cancer, the stages of cancer, as well as their etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, management, and treatment, and its relationship with pregnancy. All of these concepts are essential for any individual studying medicine or working in the medical industry to understand. We intend to summarize the information that is currently available and the recommended courses of action for treating cervical cancer and its association with pregnancy in this review. Research priorities and controversies are also noted.
癌症是一种异常细胞不受控制地分裂并破坏组织的疾病。恶性肿瘤起源于子宫颈(子宫下部,连接子宫和阴道(产道))的细胞,被称为宫颈癌。癌症是全球社区最重大的健康问题之一,患者数量每天都在增加。因此,扩大我们对宫颈癌分子病理生理学的理解,并提出新的治疗目标以及早期检测该疾病的新技术至关重要。因为早期诊断疾病可以显著提高患者的生存、预后和复发几率。本文旨在向读者介绍一些围绕宫颈癌的基本概念,包括宫颈癌的各种类型、癌症分期,以及其病因、流行病学、发病机制、管理和治疗,及其与妊娠的关系。所有这些概念对于任何学习医学或从事医疗行业的人来说都是必须理解的。我们打算在本综述中总结目前可用的信息以及治疗宫颈癌及其与妊娠关联的推荐行动方案。还指出了研究重点和争议点。
