Uterine fibroids are common and can cause vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or discomfort, and urinary incontinence. They can be "soft" or "hard" depending on the proportion of fibers to cells. [medicalnewstoday.com]

Check with your doctor if you have any of the following: Vaginal bleeding (including bleeding after sexual intercourse). Unusual vaginal discharge. Pelvic pain. Pain during sexual intercourse. [cancer.gov]
Workup
Recognition of the etiologic role of human papillomavirus ( HPV ) infection in cervical cancer has led to the recommendation of adding HPV testing to the screening regimen in women 30-65 years of age (see Workup). [emedicine.medscape.com]
The patient may come to the otolaryngologist with a new-onset neck mass and no previous evaluation or may have had extensive evaluation including systemic workup and imaging studies. [jamanetwork.com]

Treatment
Treatment Options by Stage For information about the treatments listed below, see the Treatment Option Overview section. [cancer.gov]
Treatment The stage of your cancer helps your doctor to decide which treatment you need. [cancerresearchuk.org]
Continued Medical Treatment for Cervical Cancer Treatment for precancerous lesions differs from that of invasive cervical cancer. [webmd.com]
In advanced cancer, palliative treatment may help someone to live longer and to live comfortably, even if they cannot be cured. Palliative treatment can also mean using medicines to reduce or control the side effects of cancer treatments. [cervix.cz]
Radiation therapy is another common treatment. [medicinenet.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis of patients with synchronous primary cervical and endometrial cancers is associated with disease stage at the time of diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Because of its etiological diversity, there is an age range of onset that can reach from the pediatric to the elderly patient. [scielo.br]
Etiology/Epidemiology A wide age range has been reported for adenoid cystic carcinoma, including cases in the pediatric age group. Most individuals are diagnosed with the disease in the fourth through sixth decades of life. [oralcancerfoundation.org]
It typically presents in the head and neck as cervical adenopathy of unknown etiology. Multiple biopsies showing florid lymphoid hyperplasia are frequently required to establish the diagnosis. [aafp.org]
The etiology and pathogenesis of synchronous cancers remain unclear. When similar tissues of the female genital tract are subjected to carcinogen exposure during fetal/embryological development, synchronous tumors may develop ( 5 ). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
The change in the epidemiologic trend in the United States has been attributed to mass screening with Papanicolaou (Pap) tests, which permits detection and treatment of preinvasive disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]
American Journal of Epidemiology. 157 (11): 966–72. doi : 10.1093/aje/kwg067. PMID 12777359. Archived from the original on 19 May 2009. [en.wikipedia.org]

When exposed to HPV, a woman's immune system typically prevents the virus from doing harm. [mayoclinic.org]
Is there a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer? Yes, cervical cancer often can be prevented with vaccination and modern screening techniques that detect precancerous changes in the cervix. [medicinenet.com]
Continued Avoidance of HPV infection is important in the prevention of precancerous and cancerous changes of the cervix. Prevention measures include: Abstinence from sex is recommended as one way to prevent the transmission of HPV. [webmd.com]
