Diagnosis and Investigation
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pelvic examination
TVS
FBC, U&E, LFT
CA125
CXR
CT to assess peritoneal, omental and retroperitoneal
disease
• Radiologically (USS/CT) guided biopsy
• (Cytology of ascitic tap)
• Surgical exploration
• Histopathology
Tumour Marker: Ca125
•
•
•
•
Up in 80% of advanced EOCs
Increased in max. 50% of stage I disease
Poor specificity, especially premenopausal
Also increased with
– Ca pancreas, breast, colon, lung
– Menstruation, PID, Endometriosis
– Liver disease, ascites, pleural & pericardial
effusions
– Recent laparotomy
NICE Guidlines
•
•
•
•
•
April 2011
Controversial
Ca125 as initial screen if symptoms
USS if Ca125 abnormal
Look for other causes of raised Ca125 if
USS normal
Other Tumour Markers
• Can be useful in cases of disseminated disease
where the ovarian mass might not be the
primary cancer
• Ca19.9
• CEA
• Ca15.3
• Limited sensitivity and specificity!

Treatment

–
–
–
A combination of Surgery + chemotherapy
Staging laparotomy, TAH,BSO and debulking
Platinum (Carboplatin) and Taxane (paclitaxel)
In women of reproductive age, where the tumour is confined to
one ovary ophorectomy only may be considered
• Non-epithelial tumours: often occur in young women and
can be extremely chemo-sensitive (e.g. germ cell). Often
treated with combination of ‘conservative’ surgery and
chemo
• Recurrent disease: palliative chemotherapy
Cervical Carcinoma and Screening
Cervical Ca. Epidemiology
• Worldwide - in some areas commonest cancer in women
• UK 3rd commonest gynae cancer
• 80% of cervical cancer occurs in developing world
– 5% lifetime risk in some regions
•
•
•
•
Incidence declined by 40% with cervical screening
Bimodal age distribution (30s and 80s)
More common in low socio-economic groups
2/3 are squamous ca 15% are adenocarcinoma
http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancerstats/types/cervix/incidence/
Risk Factors
•
•
•
•
•
Young age at first intercourse
Multiple sexual partners
Smoking
Long term use of COCP
Immunosuppression/HIV
» » HPV (Human papilloma virus): STI
HPV
• About 100 types
• 40 types target genital tract
• Oncogenic (high-risk) types
– 16, 18, 31, 33, 34, 35, 39,
45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68
• Low-risk HPV types
– 6, 11, 42, 43, 44
Human Papilloma Virus (1)
• HPV (esp subtypes 16 & 18): produce proteins (E6&7) which
suppress the products of ‘p53’ tumour suppressor gene in
keratinocytes
• Most women will be infected at some time
• HPV infection is common in late teens and early twenties
• Infection lasts on average 8 months
• Prevalence 5% by age 50
– Immunological clearance of virus
– Reduced opportunities for re-infection
Human Papilloma Virus (2)
• HPV is an accepted necessary (but not
sufficient) cause of cervical cancer
• Cervical cancer could be viewed as a rare
complication of a common infection
• A vaccine might prevent cervical
carcinoma
– Biggest implication is in developing nations
Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia
(CIN)
• Pre-malignant
condition
• Occurs at the TZ
• Asymptomatic
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
CIN
Histological Diagnosis!!
CIN
Natural History
• HPV
– Asymptomatic
– Can be cleared or persist or cause CIN
• CIN
– Asymptomatic
– Can regress, persist or progress to cancer
– Best Estimates
• 60% CIN1 regress spontaneously
• 30% of CIN3 progress to invasion over 5-10 years

• 5 yearly from 50 – 65
• After 65 selected patients only

HPV Triage
• Inadequate smear on three occasions

Moderate dyskaryosis
Severe dyskaryosis
• Abnormal glandular cells present
• Suggestion of Invasive disease
Colposcopy
• Low-power binocular
microscopy of cervix
• To look for features
suggestive of CIN or
invasion
• abnormal vascular
pattern (mosaicism,
punctation)
• abnormal staining of the
tissue (aceto-white,
brown iodine)

Invasive carcinoma
Treatment for CIN
•
See-and-treat concept vs. biopsy and treat
•
Destructive: cryocautery, diathermy, laser
vaporisation
•
Excisional: LLETZ (large loop excision of the
transformation zone), cold knife cone
•
Following colposcopy, follow up should be
after 6 months and then annually for 10 years
(remain at increased risk)
LLETZ
• 1 treatment 95%
success
• Most failures evident
in first year
Follow up After Treatment
• CIN 1: Smears at 6, 12, 24 months
• CIN 2/3: Smears at 6, 12, 24 months then
annually for 8 years
• HPV Test of Cure for all treated women
– Local protocols
– Smear and HPV test at 6 months
– Discharge to normal recall if HPV negative

of CIN 1/2/3/Invasion
Cervical Ca. Presentation
1. PCB
2. PMB
3. IMB
4. Blood stained vaginal discharge
In very advanced disease:
Fistulae, renal failure, nerve root pain, lower limb
oedema
50% with cervical ca have never had a smear
Staging: Clinical
1
Confined to cervix (90%)
A Microinvasive (depth<5 mm/width<7mm)
B Clinical lesion
2
Beyond cervix but not pelvic side wall or lower 1/3 of vagina (60%)
A Upper 1/3 Vagina
B Parametrium
3
Pelvic spread, reaches side wall or lower 1/3 of vagina (30%)
A Lower 1/3 of vagina, hydronephrosis
B Extends to pelvic side wall, hydronephrosis
4
Distant spread (10-20%)
A Invades adjacent organs (bladder/bowel)
B Distant sites
MRI
Treatment
1. Microinvasive carcinoma: can be more conservative. If fertility is an
issue, then cone biopsy can be used. Once family is complete, hysterectomy is
appropriate.
2. Clinical Lesions (1b - 2a): Wertheim’s radical hysterectomy or
chemoradiotherapy (survival same)
3. Clinical lesions beyond stage 2a: Chemoradiotherapy
4. Postoperative radiotherapy: with lymph node involvement
5. Recurrent disease: Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, exenteration,
palliative care
Ideally patients only receive ONE treatment modality to reduce morbidity of treatment
Surgery OR chemoradiotherpy NOT BOTH
Complications
Surgery:
• Infection
• VTE
• Haemorrhage
• Vesicovagina fistula
• Bladder dysfunction
• Lymphocyst formation
• Short vagina
Radiotherapy:
• Vaginal dryness
• Vaginal stenosis
• Radiation cystitis
• Radiation proctitis
• Loss of ovarian function
Pelvic lymphadenectomy
Radical Trachelectomy
Pelvic Exenteration
Vaccination
• Gardasil: 6,11,16,18
• Cervarix:16 & 18
• NHS Programme
• 3 im injections over 6
months
• Ideally prior to SI
• 5 years protection
• Still need smears (HPV
31, 45 & others)
