Cervical Cancer
Mortality trends for Cervical Carcinoma have been improving since the widespread use of Pap Tests as a cancer screening tool. A Pap smear is used to detect precancerous cells of the cervix. The stage of the cancer is used to describe the size and location of the tumor, if it has spread to the lymph nodes, and if it has metastasized to other parts of the body.
In situ is a small malignant tumor that is non-invasive.
In stage I, the cancer is strictly confined to the cervix. Stage I is subdivided into stage Ia (less than 5mm in depth and 7mm in width) and stage Ib (larger lesions).
Stage II extends beyond the cervix to the vagina wall;
Stage III extends to the pelvic walls; and
Stage IV extends beyond the pelvis.
Expectations:
| Condition | Rating |
| In situ and some stage I | Standard to flat extra |
| Stage II, III, IV | Most likely decline |
