Granuloma inguinale of the cervix presents as a proliferative growth and may mimic carcinoma. Over a 3 year period 18 patients with cervical granuloma inguinale were detected. Nine (50%) had a clinical diagnosis of carcinoma of the cervix on admission, five of whom had extensive investigations to exclude a malignancy. In communities where these two conditions are commonly seen it is recommended...

Labor is a physiological event involving a sequential, integrated set of changes within the myometrium, deciduas, and uterine cervix that occur gradually over a period of days to weeks. Biochemical connective tissue changes in the uterine cervix appear to precede uterine contractions and cervical dilation, and all of these events usually occur before rupture of the fetal membranes. In other wor...

Background: Carcinoma of the cervix is the commonest malignant tumor of the female genital tract in Northern Nigeria and the leading cause of cancerrelated death in women in developing countries. The predicament is further worsened by poor uptake of cytological screening programs, which are either not available or where available are underutilized due to lack of widespread awareness and the cos...

Genetic analysis of cervical cancer has demonstrated frequent allelic loss in the 3p chromosomal region. The newly described gene FHIT is located at chromosome region 3p14.2, and its expression has been demonstrated previously by reverse transcription-PCR to be abnormal in a majority of cervical cancer cell lines. In this study, 98 different lesions of the cervix were examined for Fhit expressi...

Constant rise of incidence of intraepithelial uterine cervix lesions in young patients implies a larger number of therapeutic surgical procedures. The paper aims to assess the risk of such surgical procedures on later pregnancy and delivery. The paper is a retrospective study performed at the Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Niš. The study enrolled 30 pregnant women in the experimental gr...

Uterine serous adenocarcinoma (USC) is rare and invasive cancer. This cancer is more often reported in the ovary, the fallopian tube, and the endometrium than uterine cervix. No matter where the tumor is located, the tumor exhibits similar histological characteristics. So when uterine cancer is proven to be serous adenocarcinoma, it is necessary to see if the tumor originated from ovary or endo...

Individuals with a low level of a-tocopherol are at increased risk of cancer as compared to those with a higher level. We conclucted a case control study to evaLuate this fact in patients with carcinoma of the cervix and to propose guidelines for elesigning further trials. Serum vitamin E levels were estimated in 50 normal women and 50 patients of histologically proven carcinoma of the cervix b...
