This increases the chances of early detection when cancer is most treatable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All women are at risk for gynecologic cancers. The risk of gynecologic cancers increases with age,\u00a0family history, and certain lifestyles, but Dr. Griffiths offers these important\u00a0guidelines.<\/p>\n<h3>Know Your Body<\/h3>\n<p>Become familiar with what\u2019s normal for you, and pay attention\u00a0to any changes occurring in your body. Watch for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pelvic pressure, fullness, or pain<\/li>\n<li>Abdominal bloating<\/li>\n<li>Abnormal vaginal bleeding<\/li>\n<li>Painful urination<\/li>\n<li>Pain during intercourse<\/li>\n<li>Changes in bowel and bladder patterns that continue or worsen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that persist for several weeks.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn Your Family History<\/h3>\n<p>Approximately 80% of ovarian cancers are detected at an advanced stage, making them more difficult to treat. If you have\u00a0ovarian, uterine (endometrial), or breast cancer in\u00a0your family, your risk for these cancers increases. Inform your\u00a0primary care provider or gynecologists if you have a family history of ovarian or breast\u00a0cancer. They may recommend that you meet with a genetic counselor to evaluate your risk and discuss genetic testing and risk modification strategies.<\/p>\n<p>If someone in your family has or has had colon cancer, your risk of developing\u00a0gynecologic cancer increases due to a genetic mutation that links these two cancers. Genetic counseling and testing may help determine your risk and identify the steps you can take to reduce it.<\/p>\n<h3>Understanding Human Papillomavirus (HPV)<\/h3>\n<p>Cervical, vaginal, and vulvar cancers are often linked to HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, by age 50, approximately 80% of women (and men) have been infected with some type of HPV, but most people never know that they have the virus. HPV is the cause of approximately 70% of all cervical cancers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fortunately, most women who are infected with HPV at a young age do\u00a0not\u00a0go on to develop cervical cancer,\u201d Dr. Griffiths states. &#8220;In many young women, HPV infections resolve on their own with the help of our body\u2019s immune system. However, there is no cure and if persistent HPV is detected, surgery may be necessary to eliminate the abnormal cells in the cervix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A vaccine for HPV is available. It is safe and highly effective in preventing infection from many of the high-risk types of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer. The vaccine also protects against other male female genital cancers, \u00a0oral and throat (tonsil and tongue) cancers, and anal cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The CDC recommends that all girls and boys get the HPV vaccine at age 11 or 12, but it can be started as young as age 9. For the HPV vaccine to be most effective, the vaccine series should be given before the child is exposed to the virus. The FDA has now expanded its use from age 27 up until the age of 45, however discuss with your doctor whether they recommend you get the vaccine if you fall within this age group.<\/p>\n<h3>When Should You Be Tested?<\/h3>\n<p>Cervical cancer is the only gynecologic cancer with a screening test that can detect precancerous cells or cancer in its early stages. The Pap test checks for changes in the cells of the cervix that indicate cancer or precancerous conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the gynecological cancer screening recommendations for women at average risk:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Age 21 to 29<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pap test every three years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Age 30 to 64<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HPV test, with or without a Pap test, every five years (preferred)\u00a0OR a Pap test every three years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Age 65 and older<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Screening exams may not be needed if there have been no abnormal Pap or HPV test results in the past 10 years. Discuss this with your doctor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAlthough new drug therapies and minimally invasive\u00a0surgical procedures have made treatments for gynecologic cancers more effective,\u00a0early detection and prevention remains the best opportunity to battle\u00a0these cancers,\u201d Dr. Griffiths says.<\/p>\n<p>The Gynecologic Cancer Center at\u00a0MD Anderson at Cooper is the largest and most experienced gynecologic cancer treatment program in South Jersey. For more than three decades, our team of specialists has provided advanced, compassionate care to women with gynecologic cancers.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule an Appointment Today<\/h3>\n<p>To learn more about the gynecologic cancer services available at MD Anderson at Cooper or to schedule an appointment, call <a href=\"tel:8565361214\">856.536.1214<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/yourhealth.cooperhealth.org\/acton\/ct\/38761\/e-094d-2209\/Bct\/l-tst\/l-tst:15\/ct14_0\/1\/lu?sid=TV2%3Ab8ipAKfeA\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn More<\/h3>\n<p>To learn more about HPV and cervical cancer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ySh8B6Ud4hk\">click here<\/a> to watch a video featuring David Warshal, MD, FACOG, Head of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at MD Anderson at Cooper, and Courtney Griffiths, DO, Gynecologic Oncologist at MD Anderson at Cooper.

Esto aumenta las posibilidades de detecci\u00f3n temprana cuando el c\u00e1ncer es m\u00e1s tratable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Todas las mujeres est\u00e1n en riesgo de c\u00e1nceres ginecol\u00f3gicos. El riesgo de c\u00e1nceres ginecol\u00f3gicos aumenta con la edad, los antecedentes familiares y ciertos estilos de vida, pero el Dr. Griffiths ofrece estas importantes pautas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conoce tu cuerpo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Familiar\u00edcese con lo que es normal para usted y preste atenci\u00f3n a cualquier cambio que ocurra en su cuerpo. Pendiente de:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Presi\u00f3n p\u00e9lvica, plenitud o dolor<\/li>\n<li>Distensi\u00f3n abdominal<\/li>\n<li>Sangrado vaginal anormal<\/li>\n<li>Dolor al orinar<\/li>\n<li>Dolor durante el coito<\/li>\n<li>Cambios en los patrones del intestino y la vejiga que contin\u00faan o empeoran<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hable con su m\u00e9dico acerca de cualquier s\u00edntoma que persista durante varias semanas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conozca su historia familiar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aproximadamente el 80% de los c\u00e1nceres de ovario se detectan en una etapa avanzada, lo que los hace m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles de tratar. Si tiene c\u00e1ncer de ovario, \u00fatero (endometrio) o de mama en su familia, su riesgo de padecer estos tipos de c\u00e1ncer aumenta. Informe a su proveedor de atenci\u00f3n primaria o ginec\u00f3logos si tiene antecedentes familiares de c\u00e1ncer de ovario o de mama. Es posible que le recomienden que se re\u00fana con un asesor gen\u00e9tico para evaluar su riesgo y analizar las pruebas gen\u00e9ticas y las estrategias de modificaci\u00f3n del riesgo.<\/p>\n<p>Si alguien en su familia tiene o ha tenido c\u00e1ncer de colon, su riesgo de desarrollar c\u00e1ncer ginecol\u00f3gico aumenta debido a una mutaci\u00f3n gen\u00e9tica que vincula estos dos tipos de c\u00e1ncer. El asesoramiento y las pruebas gen\u00e9ticas pueden ayudar a determinar su riesgo e identificar los pasos que puede seguir para reducirlo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comprender el virus del papiloma humano (VPH)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Los c\u00e1nceres de cuello uterino, vagina y vulva a menudo est\u00e1n relacionados con el VPH, la infecci\u00f3n de transmisi\u00f3n sexual m\u00e1s com\u00fan en los Estados Unidos. Seg\u00fan la Sociedad Estadounidense del C\u00e1ncer, a los 50 a\u00f1os, aproximadamente el 80 % de las mujeres (y los hombres) se han infectado con alg\u00fan tipo de VPH, pero la mayor\u00eda de las personas nunca saben que tienen el virus. El VPH es la causa de aproximadamente el 70% de todos los c\u00e1nceres de cuello uterino.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Afortunadamente, la mayor\u00eda de las mujeres que se infectan con el VPH a una edad temprana no desarrollan c\u00e1ncer de cuello uterino&#8221;, afirma la Dra. Griffiths. &#8220;En muchas mujeres j\u00f3venes, las infecciones por VPH se resuelven por s\u00ed solas con la ayuda del sistema inmunitario de nuestro cuerpo. Sin embargo, no existe una cura y si se detecta un VPH persistente, puede ser necesaria una cirug\u00eda para eliminar las c\u00e9lulas anormales en el cuello uterino\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Una vacuna para el VPH est\u00e1 disponible. Es seguro y muy eficaz para prevenir la infecci\u00f3n por muchos de los tipos de VPH de alto riesgo que pueden provocar c\u00e1ncer de cuello uterino. La vacuna tambi\u00e9n protege contra otros c\u00e1nceres genitales masculinos y femeninos, c\u00e1ncer oral y de garganta (am\u00edgdalas y lengua) y c\u00e1ncer anal.<\/p>\n<p>El CDC recomienda que todas las ni\u00f1as y los ni\u00f1os se vacunen contra el VPH a los 11 o 12 a\u00f1os, pero se puede comenzar a los 9 a\u00f1os. Para que la vacuna contra el VPH sea m\u00e1s efectiva, la serie de vacunas debe administrarse antes de que el ni\u00f1o est\u00e9 expuesto a el virus. La FDA ahora ha ampliado su uso desde los 27 a\u00f1os hasta los 45 a\u00f1os; sin embargo, hable con su m\u00e9dico si le recomiendan que se vacune si se encuentra dentro de este grupo de edad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfCu\u00e1ndo debe hacerse la prueba?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>El c\u00e1ncer de cuello uterino es el \u00fanico c\u00e1ncer ginecol\u00f3gico con una prueba de detecci\u00f3n que puede detectar c\u00e9lulas precancerosas o c\u00e1ncer en sus etapas iniciales. La prueba de Papanicolaou busca cambios en las c\u00e9lulas del cuello uterino que indiquen c\u00e1ncer o condiciones precancerosas.<\/p>\n<p>A continuaci\u00f3n se encuentran las recomendaciones de detecci\u00f3n de c\u00e1ncer ginecol\u00f3gico para mujeres con riesgo promedio:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Edad 21 a 29<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prueba de Papanicolaou cada tres a\u00f1os.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Edad 30 a 64<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prueba de VPH, con o sin prueba de Papanicolaou, cada cinco a\u00f1os (preferido) O una prueba de Papanicolaou cada tres a\u00f1os.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>65 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Es posible que no se necesiten ex\u00e1menes de detecci\u00f3n si no ha habido resultados anormales en las pruebas de Papanicolaou o VPH en los \u00faltimos 10 a\u00f1os. Hable de esto con su m\u00e9dico.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAunque las nuevas terapias con medicamentos y los procedimientos quir\u00fargicos m\u00ednimamente invasivos han hecho que los tratamientos para los c\u00e1nceres ginecol\u00f3gicos sean m\u00e1s efectivos, la detecci\u00f3n temprana y la prevenci\u00f3n siguen siendo la mejor oportunidad para combatir estos tipos de c\u00e1ncer\u201d, dice el Dr. Griffiths.<\/p>\n<p>El Centro de c\u00e1ncer ginecol\u00f3gico en\u00a0MD Anderson en Cooper es el programa de tratamiento de c\u00e1ncer ginecol\u00f3gico m\u00e1s grande y con m\u00e1s experiencia en el sur de Jersey.
