CERVICAL CANCER :

Cervical Cancer is the second most common cancer ( first is breast cancer) in Indian women and it is estimated that cervical cancer will develop in 1 in every 53 Women in their lifetime.

What is the cause of Cervical Cancer?
Majority of the cervical cancers are caused by infection of the genital tract with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which often causes the genital warts also.

What are the symptoms of Cervical Cancer?

Cervical Cancer Symptoms

The following are the symptoms of cervical cancer for which you must seek a consultation:

Unusual Vaginal Discharge
Vaginal Bleeding especially in post-menopausal age.
Pelvic pain or pain in the genital area

How can one detect Cervical Cancer?
Cervical Cancer can be detected with the following tests:

PAP smear test which examines cells shed from the cervix in the vagina.
Pelvic examination by a trained gynecologist or a cancer surgeon with a formal biopsy of the tissue from the cervix.
Colposcopy a device through which the cervix is visualized under magnification to detect pre-cancerous as well as early cancer changes.

How is cervical cancer treated?
Pre-cancerous changes of the cervix can be treated with simple procedures like conization or LEEP (Loop electrosurgical procedures) to remove the suspicious areas under a colposcopic examination. Early stage cancers are usually treated with surgical removal of the Uterus with the cervix and pelvic lymph-nodes.

Locally advanced cancers of the cervix which have spread to the vagina or into other pelvic structures are usually treated with Chemotherapy and radiation.

Can Cervical Cancer be prevented?

Yes, cervical cancer is one of the few cancers which can be prevented with help of Vaccination against HPV infection. Vaccine can prevent most of the cases of cervical cancer if the vaccine is given to girls or women before they are exposed to the infection.
The CDC USA recommends vaccine to be given to girls between the age of 11 and12. The efficacy of the vaccine is more than 97% in preventing HPV colonization of the genital areas.
Contact your specialist today for more information.

Is there any Screening Program for cervical cancer to detect it early?

PAP smear and HPV testing of cervical cytology form the backbone of cervical cancer screening.

Screening for cervix cancer should start at the age of 21 years.
Age 21 to 29 — PAP smear alone should be done every 3 years/li>
Age 30 to 65 either PAP smear alone every 3 years or a PAP with HPV co testing every 5 years.

Cervical cancer when detected at early stages is easily treatable with excellent results and with advent of the HPE vaccines the cancer can now be prevented in women.

ESOPHAGEAL CANCER :

Esophageal cancer is the one which is found in esophagus or more commonly called as food pipe which connects your mouth with the stomach.

Esophageal cancer is 5th most commonly observed cancer and mainly found in men. In year 2020, India had 68180 new cases of esophagus . At the same time, there were 58342 deaths were recorded. Five year prevalence is around 4.97 cases per one lakh population.

Risk Factors for Esophageal cancer:

Smoking
Alcohol intake
Obesity
Long term Acidity or dyspeptic symptoms
Men are 3 times more likely than females

Symptoms of Esophageal Cancer:

Difficulty in swallowing solids, liquids, or both
Persistent heartburn or acidity
Unusual weight loss
Pain in the throat or lower part of the chest while swallowing.

Tests to Diagnose Esophageal Cancer

Gastroscopy or OGD Scopy:
It is the most common investigation tool is which examines inner liner of esophagus and detects presence of cancerous growth, tumour, ulcer or narrowing of the esophagus. If suspected, a biopsy sample can be taken during the endoscopy for further confirmation of presence of cancer. Gastroscopy also helps to examine other near by organs like the stomach or duodenum where the small bowel starts.

CT Scan / PET Scan: After confirmation of cancer on the biopsy a CT Scan of the Chest with Abdomen or a whole body Pet scan is usually done to see the extent of your disease and to check if the disease has spread to any other organs like Liver/Lung/ Bones etc. This is called as a Staging CT/Pet scan based on which your treatment regimen would be decided.

Staging of Esophageal Cancer :

Based on the Radiological finding on the scan the Disease is classified in the following stages:

Stage 1 & 2 : Cancer is limited to the esophagus only
Stage 3 : Cancer has spread from the esophagus to the surrounding lymph nodes and adjacent structures like the wind pipe or heart.
Stage 4 : Cancer has spread to other organs like the Lungs, Liver or Bones.

Treatment of Esophageal Cancer :

Treatment of esophageal cancer involves surgery, chemotherapy as well as radiation. Type of treatment and duration depends on the stage of the cancer.

Stage 1 & 2 : Surgery followed by Chemotherapy and Radiation
Stage 3 : Chemotherapy to downstage disease followed by Surgery or Radiation.
Stage 4 : Only chemotherapy

Surgery for Esophageal Cancer :

Traditionally the surgery of esophageal cancer has been through an open approach where big cuts are made to the patients chest wall, abdominal wall and neck. Because of this the surgery was often associated with higher complications as well as prolonged recovery period due to the multiple and large cuts taken on different parts of the body.

Now the surgery has being performed through a laparoscopic or a robotic approach where instead of large cuts the same surgery is done by making small cuts which has resulted in less pain post-surgery leading to early recovery and lesser complications.

The following diagram shows the difference between the open as well as laparoscopic Esophageal cancer resection.:
