If you have cervical cancer, are you MORE likely to get other types of cancer in the future? no, having one form of cancer does not predispose you to getting another form of it go get a gardisil shot! No. There are more than one hundred types of cancers and each type of cancer has different symptoms. Many of these symptoms are also associated with common ailments, so only thorough checkup by a doctor, can identify the real problem . More details and information at http://candp.org/ I have had cervical cancer twice, so believe me when I say that I have read everything I could get my hands on when it comes to cancer. Not once in 22 years have I ever read that having one type of cancer predisposes one to getting another type of cancer. My doctors, who were excellent and at the top of their field, never said anything about it, and I'm sure they would have if it were true. One of the main cause / reasons for getting Cervical cancer is due to HPV. What is HPV ? HPV is short for human papilloma (pap-ah-LO-mah) virus. HPVs are a group of over 100 related viruses. Each HPV virus in the group is given a number, which is called an HPV type. HPVs are called papilloma viruses because some of the HPV types cause warts, or papillomas, which are non-cancerous tumors. The papilloma viruses are attracted to and are able to live only in squamous epithelial cells in the body. Squamous epithelial cells are thin, flat cells that are found on the surface of the skin, cervix, vagina, anus, vulva, head of the penis, mouth, and throat. HPVs will not grow in other parts of the body. About 80 percent of squamous cell anal cancers are caused by either HPV 16 or 18. At least 40 percent of cancers of the vulva are HPV-related. Several other anogenital cancers (penile, vaginal, urethral) and some head and neck cancers (specifically tongue and tonsils) have been found to contain high-risk HPV types. A high percentage of non-melanoma skin cancers in people with weakened immune systems contain HPV types. Studies indicate that the patients who got cervical cancer due to HPV are likely to get other cancers caused due to presense of HPV. The other possible cancers due to presense of this virus are given above. Apart from the chances of cervical cancer spreading to other areas and lymp nodes, if properly not treated, are not ruled out.- -portions from http://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/conten... |
