Who and when the cervical cancer discovered?

its definition,pathology,incubatio... period,nursing care?

Epidemiologists working in the early 20th century noted that:

Cervical cancer was common in female sex workers.

It was rare in nuns, except for those who had been sexually active before entering the convent. (Rigoni in 1841)

It was more common in the second wives of men whose first wives had died from cervical cancer.

It was rare in Jewish women.

in 1935, Syverton and Berry discovered a relationship between HPV and skin cancer in rabbits.

This led to the deduction that cervical cancer could be caused by a sexually transmitted agent. Initial research in the 1950s and 1960s put the blame on smegma (e.g. Heins et al 1958), but it wasn't until the 1970s that human papillomavirus (HPV) was identified.

A description by electron microcopy was given earlier in 1949 and HPV-DNA was identified in 1963. It has since been demonstrated that HPV is implicated in virtually all cervical cancers. Specific viral subtypes implicated are HPV 16, 18, 31 and 45.

Lead by Professor Ian Frazer, Merck & Co. has developed a vaccine against four strains of HPV (6,11,16,18), called Gardasil鈩? It is now on the market after receiving Food and Drug Administration approval on June 8, 2006. Gardasil is targeted at girls and women of age 9 to 26 because the vaccine only works if given before infection occurs; therefore, public health workers are targeting girls before they begin having sex. The use of the vaccine in men to prevent genital warts and interrupt transmission to women is initially considered only a secondary market. The high cost of this vaccine has been a cause for concern. Gardasil has received EU approval.

Glaxosmithkline has developed a vaccine called Cervarix鈩?which has been shown to be 100% effective in preventing HPV strains 16 and 18 and is 100% effective for more than four years. The two HPV strains (16 and 18) together cause about 70% of cervical cancer cases. Cervarix should be approved by year's end.

Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer researcher came out with a paper saying that the best cancer and infection fighter as yet found was Interferon, but, at the time, it cost $15,000 a gram. The good part was that Interferon was a product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to make Vit C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA says that the RDA for Vit C is 64 mg a day, just enough to prevent scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vit C and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry, said 1000 mg a day as a minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. On a personal note, I was sick twice a year, for 2 weeks at a time, for 20 years, and was flat on my back for at least a week each time. To this day the doctors have no idea what the problem was. After I gave up on the doctors I tried Vit C. I took enough to keep from being sick and just below too much to get diarrhea. It followed a bell curve over 2 weeks with a peak at 40,000 mg a day 鈥?about 300,000 over the 2 weeks. I was not sick for those 2 weeks and after a couple of years of that I have not been sick since. I did not dissolve my kidneys, as some doctors said would happen. I did not get any calcium build up or stones and did not dissolve my cones or solidify my joints. Try it, but drink a lot of water 鈥?Vit C is a natural diuretic.
