Inhibition of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 in CaSki human cervical cancer cells suppresses cell proliferation and invasion.
Authors: Guo F, Li Y, Liu Y, Wang J, Li Y, Li G
Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is suggested to be a long (~7 kb) non-coding RNA. MALAT1 is overexpressed in many human carcinomas, but its function remains unknown. To investigate the role of MALAT1 in human cervical cancer progression, we designed and used short hairpin RNA to inhibit MALAT1 expression in CaSki cells and validated its effect on cell proliferation and invasion. Changes in gene expression were analyzed by reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction. Our data demonstrated that MALAT1 was involved in cervical cancer cell growth, cell cycle progression, and invasion through the regulation of gene expression, such as caspase-3, -8, Bax, Bcl-2, and BclxL, suggesting that MALAT1 could have i......

Mortality and cancer incidence among physicians of traditional Chinese medicine: a 20-year national follow-up study
Conclusion
Like other healthcare workers, we noted that physicians of TCM had significantly reduced risks of all-causes mortality and cancer incidence. Nonetheless, reasons truly responsible for significantly increased risks of liver and bladder neoplasm among physicians of TCM warrant further investigations.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Sexual Dysfunction in Cervical Cancer Patients
Conclusions. Our findings are beneficial to health-care providers by identifying the prevalence of SD and by pinpointing those groups with a higher predisposition of having SD, which will allow the provision of appropriate rehabilitation.

Tracking Abnormal Cervical Cancer Screening: Evaluation of an EMR-Based Intervention
CONCLUSION Our study cannot demonstrate that with follow up, we directly avoided cases of invasive cervical cancer. However, we show
that in an at-risk urban population, an automated, EMR-based tracking system reduced the time to resolution, and increased
the number of women who achieved diagnostic resolution.

Cervical polyps: evaluation of routine removal and need for accompanying D&C
Conclusion Routine removal of cervical polyps, although not mandatory, seems clinically prudent because pathological evaluation is needed
to confirm the diagnosis and to rule out other possibilities. 10.9% of postmenopausal patients and 7.8% of premenopausal patients
were diagnosed with any endometrial pathology accompanying cervical polyp. Therefore, cervical polyps can be a sign of endometrial
disease, especially in postmenopausal women with cervical polyp endometrium should be evaluated more carefully.

Papaya extract against cancer
The humble papaya is gaining credibility in Western medicine for anticancer powers that folk cultures have recognized for generations. University of Florida researcher Nam Dang, M.D., Ph.D., and his colleagues in Japan have documented papaya's dramatic anticancer effect against a broad range of lab-grown tumors, including cancers of the cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreas. The scientists used an extract made from dried papaya leaves, and the anticancer effects were stronger when cells received larger doses of the tea........

Gene promoter methylation patterns throughout the process of cervical carcinogenesis.
Conclusion: Methylation of previously reported cervical cancer specific genes frequently occurs in normal epithelium. However, frequency of methylation increases during cervical carcinogenesis, with CCNA1 and DAPK as the best markers to distinguish normal/LSIL from HSIL/cancer lesions.

Washington Post, 'Marketplace' Examine Issues Related To HPV Vaccines
The Washington Post on Tuesday published a list of questions and answers from a Consumer Reports review of the safety and efficacy of Merck's human papillomavirus vaccine, Gardasil. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and FDA found that a few women and girls vaccinated with Gardasil experienced serious complications but that the rates and severity of most side effects appear to be consistent with those of other vaccines, the Post reports. FDA approved the vaccine in 2006 for women and girls ages nine through 26... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)...

The health and economic effects of HPV DNA screening in The Netherlands
We studied the health and economic effects of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing in cervical screening using a simulation model. The key data source was a Dutch longitudinal screening trial. We compared cytological testing with repeat cytology (for borderline/mildly abnormal smears) to HPV testing with cytology triage (for HPV-positive smears), combination testing (combined HPV and cytology) and cytological testing with HPV triage (for borderline/mildly abnormal smears). We varied the screening interval from 5 to 10 years. The main outcome measures were the number of cervical cancer cases, the number of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). The base-case estimates were accompanied with ranges across 118 calibrated parameter settings (......
