Abstract:
ABSTRACTCancer is emerging as a public health problem among an array of non-communicable diseases. The common cancers in women are breast, cervix uteri, colo-rectum, ovary, corpus uteri, lung and oral cavity. Breast cancer (BC) is the common cancer (20-30% of all cancers in women) and the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. About half of the BCs and 60% of the deaths are estimated to occur in economically developing countries. In most of the registries in India, BC is the commonest cancer with the highest incidence of nearly 50 per 100,000 women in Trivandrum. Half of this cancer is reported in <50 years of age and it exercises adverse influence on the productive role of women in the society. The factors that contribute to the international variation in BC incidence rates are largely due to the differences in reproductive and hormonal factors and the availability of early detection services.Gynecological cancers account 15-30% of all cancers in women. Cervix uteri cancer (CC) is the 3rd most common cancer affecting women worldwide, the most common cancer among women in several less developed countries and 2nd common cancer in India. During last few decades, this cancer incidence has been decreased in India. Significant declines in CC are likely due to changes in marriage and family planning, supported by underlying improvements in education and socioeconomic status. In spite of decreasing incidence of this cancer, gynecologic cancers have increased in India. Among these, ovary and corpus uteri cancers are the major contributors. Ovarian cancer (OC) has emerged as one of the common malignancies affecting women in India and is the 5th common cancer in India (4th common in Trivandrum). A steady increase has been observed in OC incidence in several registries including Trivandrum. More than 50% of women with OC are under the age of 50 years. The risk of it increases in women who have ovulated more over their lifetime. This includes those who begin ovulation at a younger age or reach menopause at an older age. Other risk factors include hormone therapy after menopause, fertility medication and obesity. Factors that decrease risk include hormonal birth control, tubal ligation, and breast feeding. Efforts are to be made to detect ovarian cancer at an early stage by educating population about the risk factors. Corpus uteri cancers (CUC) are most common in western countries but are becoming more common in Asia. In India, the highest CUC incidence rates are observed in Trivandrum and its incidence has been increasing. Presently, it is the 5th common cancer among women in Trivandrum, 75% of women are over the age of 50 years. The risk factors of CUC include obesity, diabetes mellitus, BC, use of tamoxifen, never having had a child, late menopause and high levels of estrogen.Colo-rectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd most common cancer in women world-wide. The burden of CRC has risen rapidly in some economically developed Asian countries like Japan, South Korea and Singapore. In India, the highest CRC incidence rates are observed in Trivandrum and its incidence has been increasing. Presently, it is the 5th common cancer among women in Trivandrum. The major factors include certain dietary practices and family history of cancer. Individuals with a family history of colon cancer, especially if more than one relative has had the disease, are at increased risk of CRC. Other common cancers in women are tobacco-related cancers such as oral cavity (lip, tongue and mouth) and lung. Declining trends in mouth cancer has been reported in India.Results on the burden, trends in incidence & mortality, risk factors of breast, cervix uteri, ovary and corpus uteri colo-rectal, lung and oral cavity cancers will be presented.

Abstract:
More than one million women worldwide are newly diagnosed with breast cancer annually. Worldwide, a woman dies of breast cancer every minute. In India well over 100, 000 women are newly diagnosed with breast cancer every year; a staggering number that has overtaken cervical cancer to become the leading cause for cancer related death among women in metropolitan cities. The number of newly diagnosed breast cancers in India is expected to increase to 130, 000 per annum by 2020. This is only the tip of the iceberg, as many breast cancers are not reported to the Cancer Registry & many states do not have a robust Cancer Registry.

Abstract:
<em>The highest cancers in Indonesia in women are breast cancer and cervical cancer. Both are the most common cancers in women and the highest cause of death in women. Some woman patients with newly diagnosed of breast cancer or cervical cancer will experience depression. most patients newly diagnosed with cancer, less than 6 months reported a feeling of depression of 91.4%. An effective intervention to reduce the level of depression is to provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions. CBT is a psychotherapy recommended for treating depression in patients with breast cancer and cervical cancer. The objective of this study to review the effects of CBT on decreasing depression in woman patients with cancer including cervical cancer and breast cancer. This study is a systematic review. We search articles from EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Science Direct database which published from 2008 till 2018. RCTs are included in this review. Four RCTs included in this study. CBT interventions are carried out differently for each article, in general, each session is given for 60-90 minutes with a different number of sessions. Outcome measured in 3 articles was more than one variable (not only depression) and one article only measured the level of depression. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be used for woman patients with breast cancer and cervical cancer who are depressed. Future research to the effectiveness of CBT in reducing depression in woman patients specifically in newly diagnosed with cervical cancer is needed to confirm the evidence</em>

Abstract:
The incidence of endometrial cancer in young women is increasing, especially in developed countries. Although it is predominantly a disease of peri- and postmenopausal women, there is an absolute increase in younger women of childbearing age who, with today's lifestyle and pushing back maternal needs, do not have fulfilled reproductive plans. About 67% of cancers are diagnosed in the early stages. For these women, fertility-preserving procedures can be considered until reproductive plans are fulfilled. Subsequently, however, definitive management is appropriate even in the absence of carcinoma. This article discusses the most common gynecologic pelvic cancer, endometrial adenocarcinoma, and the possibility of fertility-preserving procedures. Key words: endometrial cancer – young woman – fertility sparing

Abstract:
Cervical cancer claims over a quarter of a million lives of women annually worldwide. It is believed to be the second most common cancer among women worldwide. Screening is used to detect precancerous changes or early cancers before signs or symptoms of cancer occur. The first case of cervical cancer was founded in the 1970s by Harald Zur Hausen. It is believed to be the second most common cancer among women worldwide. Females becoming sexually active in early age with multiple partners are on high risk. Virtually all cervical cancers are associated with human papilloma viruses (HPV). This study was conducted to understand the levels of knowledge and attitudes of women towards cervical cancer screening in Al Khan Dubai.It assessed the knowledge and attitudes of women about cervical cancer prevention. 70% of the sexually active women really need to go for cancer screening. It shows that 66% of women in al khan are being affected due to lifestyle and it is affecting women’s decision in relation to cervical cancer screening. To improve cervical cancer screening in al khan area, women should be given more information, motivation, awareness, and sensitization, in order to encourage them to go for a cervical cancer screening. Keywords: Cervix, High risk, HPV, Pre-screening methods, Women.

Abstract:
Globally, breast cancer is the second most common cancer next only to lung cancer and a major public health challenge to women’s health. Worldwide, breast cancer affects 1.3 million women every year which represents 23% of all cancers in women. It is estimated that by 2030 the global burden of breast cancer will increase to over 2 million new cases per year. Unlike other cancers, breast cancer is treatable if detected at an early stage. Management of women who carry a high lifetime risk for breast cancer is always an issue of debate. A number of risk-reducing treatment options with varying efficacy exist, including regular surveillance, chemoprevention, and prophylactic surgery. Prophylactic mastectomy (PM) or Risk reducing mastectomy (RRM) remains a controversial procedure as a preventive tool against breast cancer. More women are opting for prophylactic mastectomy as a risk reducing strategy for breast cancer. Prophylactic mastectomy is appropriate only for a small proportion of women who are at high risk for breast cancer. Patient misconceptions about recurrence risk and fear have been implicated in the increase in prophylactic procedures. Other possible reasons for the rise in prophylactic mastectomy are highly sensitive breast cancer screening methods, which diagnose breast cancer at earlier stages, and improved breast reconstruction techniques. With this background this paper aims to analyze the pros and cons of preventive mastectomy.

Abstract:
1) My Truth: Women Speak Cancer is a creative nonfiction based on three years of interviews with twelve survivors told through the lens of the author's experience as a three-time, sixteen-year survivor of multiple cancers. Each chapter features a different survivor and her story; the cancers discussed include non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Osteosarcoma, Melanoma, as well as brain, ovarian, breast, and thyroid cancers. Current definitions, treatments and statistics are included at the end of each chapter. The book ends with a comprehensive After Words, combining poetry and prose, taking the reader on a further journey of introspection on life, love, friendship, and loss. 2) The Narrative of Pathogynography is a critical exegesis using established theory in the fields of creative writing, sociology, ethnography, literature, and medicine to examine and further define the sub genre of the theoria, poiesis and praxis involved in creating women's illness narrative, or what Housel terms, pathogynography. Housel develops original terminology to define yet undiscovered spaces based on her work in My Truth: Women Speak Cancer.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with cervical cancer amongst New Zealand women, particularly Maori women. Maori women have an alarmingly high incidence of cervical cancer, approximately three times higher than non-Maori women. Maori women experience one of the highest rates of cervical cancer in the world. Chapter one, two and three form the introductory section of the thesis, Section A. Chapter one provides an overview of cervical cancer incidence in the world, followed by a more detailed analysis of the occurrence of cervical cancer in New Zealand and a discussion of the aetiological factors of cervical cancer. Cervical screening is discussed in Chapter two. The ethnic differences in incidence and mortality of cervical cancer between Maori and non-Maori and possible reasons for these differences are studied in Chapter three. Section B consists of the original work undertaken. A pilot study (Chapter four) was conducted to trial the methods for the national study (Chapter five). The national study was a retrospective review of the cervical smear histories of Maori women first diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer over a recent two year period in order to investigate why Maori women have not had their disease detected by screening and treated at the intraepithelial stage. Maori women�s knowledge of and attitudes towards cervical screening were obtained in a survey in Ruatoria (Chapter six). Section C concludes with a chapter (Chapter seven) on the conclusions and recommendations based on the material reviewed and the work undertaken.

Abstract:
Clinicians and researchers know that women experience distress related to the diagnosis of and treatment for ovarian cancer. A review of the literature revealed that while there is interest in the topic, distress is inconsistently defined and measured. Women have been reported to have a variety of distress experiences including the challenges of late diagnosis and the treatment regimen, communication difficulties with healthcare providers, and concern about the effect of their diagnosis on their loved ones. Without information directly from women, assumptions predominate about what the experience is like and what they would find helpful from support persons. Women’s perceptions about distress was identified as a gap in the knowledge leading to the present study which asked “What do women with ovarian cancer want their spouse/significant other, family, friends, and healthcare providers to know about their experience of distress during diagnosis and treatment?” A qualitative method, Grounded Theory as outlined by Glaser and Strauss in 1967 was chosen to guide this IRB approved study. Twelve women participated in audiotaped interviews contributing data for analysis using the constant comparative method. Six common themes or subcategories emerged across all the interviews and resulted in a conceptualization of the experience as an “existential assault.” Though individual experience differed, abstraction and conceptualization of the data revealed the common themes as (a) “out of the blue like lightning”; (b) “no stone left unturned”; (c)“knowing what I don’t want to know and not knowing what I want to know”; (d) “watching you, watching me- we are both afraid”; (e) “talking yet not talking, about death”; and (f) “now I have to take care of me.” Participants expressed the need for professional support people who contribute their efforts to cure, but who also listen to the participant’s need to manage and control their own experience and to live in ways that give their life meaning and purpose. The experience of distress for the participants was intensified by the needs of those in their social network (spouse/significant other, family, friends, and healthcare providers) who also experienced distress, at times requiring participants to provide support for those who would be expected to be providing support.

Abstract:
Background: Anal, vulval and vaginal cancers predominantly affect postmenopausal women. Over 85% of registrations occur after the age of 50. Risk factors for these cancers, other than high-risk human papillomaviruses, are not well defined. Methods: 1.3 million UK women, mostly aged 50-65 at recruitment, were followed for incident anogenital cancer. Cox regression models with age as the underlying time variable were used to calculate adjusted relative risks associated with various lifetime exposures. Results: 570 anal, 898 vulval, and 170 vaginal cancers were registered over an average 13.8 years of follow-up. History of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3) prior to recruitment was associated with a 4-fold increase in risk of anal cancer, a doubling of risk of vulval cancer, and a 7-fold increase in risk of vaginal cancer. Significant associations were also seen for past cervical cytological abnormalities, with an increase in risk of anal cancer for low-grade, and an increase in risk of all three cancers associated with high-grade abnormalities. Anal cancer risk was also associated with smoking, prior use of oral contraceptives, nulliparity, tubal ligation, and not living with a husband/partner. Risk of vulval cancer was increased in overweight, obese women, and those with a menopause prior to age 50. Risk of vaginal cancer was increased amongst women who were nulliparous, overweight or obese, who had a hysterectomy prior to recruitment, or who were not married or living with a partner. Conclusions: Despite anatomical proximity and histological similarities of the anogenital tissues, anal, vulval and vaginal cancers have heterogeneous associations with many lifetime exposures, suggesting differences in aetiology. Past high-grade cervical abnormalities are a marker of increased risk of subsequent anogenital cancer, but only a small proportion of women with such a history go on to develop anal, vulval or vaginal cancer later in life.

Abstract:

Millions of women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the United States. In San Bernardino County breast cancer rates are increasing each year among Asian American women. It is considered to be the second leading cause of death compared to other cancers among Asian women. In the Inland Empire, there is a lack of health services aimed specifically at Asian Americans. The foundation aspires to be culturally competent and bring breast cancer awareness to all women. Through an expansive service that includes a navigation program lead by breast cancer survivors, outreach to local health care institutions for breast cancer screenings, as well as offering mental health counseling and seminars to help women and their families cope with their diagnosis as well as post-treatment care. The Breast Cancer Foundation for Asian American Women (BCFAAW) is a not-for-profit organization that aims to provide education, support, and advocacy for the Asian community throughout the Inland Empire.

Abstract:
Objective: Getting back to regular physical activity soon after completing the treatment for breast cancer may be a challenge for most women. To assess the impact of physical exercise on physical fitness and body composition in women who have completed breast cancer treatment, we designed a personalized program of physical exercises, considering their individual basal physical activity levels. Methods: The prospective study included 107 women aged 18–60 years shortly after curative treatment for localized breast cancer. All participants were evaluated for cardiovascular morbidities, body composition, and exercise performance. After careful physical evaluation by a personal physical trainer, each woman was individually oriented on how to perform each exercise correctly and follow the program of nonsupervised exercises on their own at home, either indoor or outdoor. Women were motivated to adhere to personalized aerobic exercises, localized muscular strength/resistance, and flexibility exercises, considering individual capabilities and limitations. Evaluations including body composition, VO2max, and localized muscle resistance were performed preintervention (basal) and after 6 and 9 months of intervention. Results: Among all, 25.23% and 44.85% were fat or overweight, respectively, at the study entrance, and 21.49% reported doing physical exercise regularly; 78 women adhered to the training program (72.8%), and 29 chose not to adhere (27.2%). After 9 months of regular and individualized intervention, adherent women showed significantly better results in all variables of body composition and physical fitness: body mass (-4.38±3.67 kg; p0.05), as well as it was not influenced by breast cancer characteristics (e.g., histology, stage, and molecular subtypes) or treatment (e.g., mastectomy, axillary surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy) (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study reinforces that women in follow-up after breast cancer, regardless of body fatness or fitness, can adopt lifestyle measures to prevent a recurrence, and medical societies should include recommendations to promote physical activity early during surveillance.

Abstract:
The model of a woman expected in health services is as follows: adult, mother, and heterosexual. Any woman who breaks this pattern is invisibilized or goes through services that are not adequate for her particular demands. Most of the time, lesbian women go unnoticed in health services, and the identification of their sexual orientation does not occur directly, in consultations with the women, but by the identification of others of characteristics considered as male gender, such as short hair, masculine way of walking, and type of clothes. Objective: This study aims to understand the meanings attributed by a lesbian couple to the discrimination suffered in health services. Methodology: This is a qualitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory study that had gender studies as theoretical references. One woman with breast cancer and her partner participated. An in-depth interview was conducted with each of the participants and, subsequently, the data were analyzed and discussed from the perspective of the inductive thematic content analysis. Results: The participants reported more than one experience of discrimination with the health professionals they encountered throughout the cancer treatment: sexist comments, invisibilization, and denial of the relationship of the two as a couple, among others. It can be said that women are taught, since they are born, to be mothers, to take care of others, and to “give pleasure to the other.” Thus, the sexuality of women is denied, repressed, and feared. These gaps invisibilize lesbianities within the healthcare system. Conclusion: The findings of this study also allow us to look toward the health issues of lesbian women, whose vulnerabilities are amplified by the need to defend their dissident identities and sexualities when they are in contact with health services. Fighting the inequities experienced by lesbian women in the health sector is a challenge for the effective implementation of health rights, with respect to citizenship and dignity.

Abstract:
Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the overall survival of patients with second primary synchronous and metachronous breast cancer. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study on women with second primary breast cancer, diagnosed between 2000 and 2015, was conducted. The cases were drawn from the Cancer Hospital registry and classified according to the hospital registry rules for second primary cancers. The second primary breast tumor was defined as synchronous or metachronous according to the diagnosis of the second cancer: ≤6 months of the first tumor and >6 months after the first tumor, respectively (Newman et al. 2001). Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: A total of 11,922 women with breast cancer were identified between 2000 and 2015. Of these cases, 3.24% (375) had second primary breast cancer, comprising 60.8% (228) synchronous and 39.2% (147) metachronous tumors. Regarding age, patients were predominantly in the ≥60 years age accounting for 39.9% (91) of synchronous and 48.3% (71) of metachronous cases, with a mean patient age of 55 years for synchronous and 59 years for metachronous tumors. Overall, 5-year survival in women with synchronous breast cancer was 86.5% (95%CI 79.69–91.21) and with metachronous cancer was 82.1% (95%CI 73.71–88.10), while 10-year survival was 69% for both synchronous and metachronous. Conclusion: There was no difference in overall survival of patients with second primary synchronous and metachronous at 5 and 10 years after treatment. However, in this cohort, we were not able to investigate the genetics profile to identify the presence of associated genetic syndromes, a factor that can modify our findings.

Abstract:
One of the large spread diseases in a human being is Lung Cancer. It remains a threat to society and is the cause of thousands of deaths worldwide. Early detection cause of lung cancer is an understandable perspective to maximize the opportunity of the existence of the patients. This paper is about the observation of lung cancer. Here, Computed Tomography (CT) is used for the observation of lung cancer. Various Algorithms are used to search out lung cancer prediction correctly like K Nearest Neighbor, SVM, Decision Tree, and many more. An Aim of the introduced analysis to design a model that can reduce the likelihood of lung cancer in a patient with maximum accuracy. We began by surveying various machine learning techniques, explaining a concise definition of the most normally used classification techniques for identifying lung cancer. Then, we analyze survey representable research works utilizing learning machine classification methods in this field. Moreover, an elaborated comparison table of surveyed paper is introduced.

Abstract:
Objective: The objective of this was to evaluate the metabolic profile of non-obese women with breast cancer compared with non-obese women without cancer. Methodology: A cross-sectional comparative clinical study was carried out with the inclusion of 260 women (according to sample calculation). The main group consisted of 130 women with a body mass index (BMI) 88 cm; triglycerides (TG) > 150 mg/dL; HDL cholesterol < 50 mg/dL; blood pressure > 130/85 mmHg; and glucose >100 mg/dL. For statistical analysis, the Student’s t-test, the gamma distribution (asymmetric variables), the chi-square test, and logistic regression (odds ratio – OR) were used. Results: In assessing the factors that affect the metabolic profile, a higher occurrence of MS and blood pressure impairment was observed among women treated for breast cancer when compared with controls (30.8% vs. 20.0%, and 25.4% vs. 14.6%, respectively) (p <0.05). A higher proportion of women treated for breast cancer also had higher than desirable levels of total cholesterol and blood glucose in the comparative analysis (56.2% vs. 43.1% and 29.2% vs. 15.4%, respectively) (p <0.05). . In the risk analysis of metabolic dysfunction, adjusted for age and time since menopause, women with breast cancer had a significantly higher risk for MS (OR=2.76, 95%CI 1.48–5.15), increased blood glucose OR=2.69, 95%CI 1.46–4.96), and blood pressure (OR=3.03, 95%CI 1.51–6.10). In the analysis of the subgroup with BMI <25 kg/m2 , the main group had a higher occurrence of metabolic syndrome when compared with the group without breast cancer (n=53) (17.2% vs. 1.9%, respectively, p=0.007). Women with a BMI <25 kg/m2 had significantly higher values for WC (82.6±8.5 vs. 79.9±6.4 cm, p=0.048), SBP and DBP (129.2±17.1 and 77. 7±8.8 mmHg vs 118.2±15.1 and 73.6±8.8 mmHg, p=0.0002 and p=0.01, respectively), and blood glucose (99.7±32.5 vs. 86.6±7.6 mg/dL, p=0.0002) when compared with women with the same BMI. Conclusion: Non-obese women treated for breast cancer were at high risk for metabolic dysfunction, expressed by the higher prevalence of MS, hypertension, and diabetes when compared with women without breast cancer. The risk remains in the subgroup with ideal BMI.

Abstract:
Objective: There are no publications on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on screening and clinical staging of breast cancer in women over 70 years of age. In Brazil, women over 70 years of age are not the target group for whom the Unified Health System (SUS) recommends mammography screening. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the pandemic in Brazil on screening and clinical staging of breast cancer in women of this age group. Methodology: This is an ecological time-series study. Data and trends, as well as the staging of breast cancer in older women in the SUS, from 2013 to 2021, in Brazil and its regions were analyzed. The secondary database was created with information from the Outpatient Information System of the Informatics Department of the SUS, the Oncology Brazil Panel, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, and the Supplementary Health Agency. Results: In 2018–2019, 16,035 cases of breast cancer were reported nationwide, representing a decrease of 3.75%, and 15,434 cases were reported in 2020–2021. Screening tended to decrease with APC -7.3 (CI -11.3 to -3.2; p<0.004). The proportion of advanced cases exceeded that of initial cases in Brazil overall. There was an increasing trend for stages III and IV, with a coefficient of determination (r2 ) of 0.86 (p <0.001) and a percentage increase of 9.4% of cases (p<0.001). Conclusion: During the pandemic, there was a significant decrease in the number of mammograms and a significant increase in older patients with advanced tumors. It is important to provide screening and treatment services for breast cancer in women over 70 years of age so as not to neglect the needs of these older women.
