Quick Summary:

• Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the uterine cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus/womb. Adenoid Basal Carcinoma (ABC) of Uterine Cervix is a rare form of cervical cancer that is mostly observed in postmenopausal status adult women
• The development of cervical cancer occurs slowly and the process of pre-cancerous changes (dysplasia) leading onto invasive cancer, generally takes place over years and decades. Hence, periodic screening of women with Pap smears helps in early detection and management of any pre-cancerous change, before a full-blown malignancy develops
• Almost all cervical cancers are believed to originate from a premalignant lesion. Nearly all Cervical Adenoid Basal Carcinomas are believed to develop from high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. The most common type of human papilloma virus (HPV) associated with the cancer is HPV-16 and HPV-33
• Screening with Pap smear helps in early detection of pre-cancers and cancers. Any abnormality found on a Pap smear is further scrutinized with an instrument, called a colposcope, and a biopsy of the abnormal areas performed to make a diagnosis
• If the biopsy shows Adenoid Basal Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix; then, the tumor is staged (growth and spread of cancer is examined) and treatment options chosen, based on the staging. The treatment may involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy
• The prognosis depends upon a set of several factors including the stage of the tumor, age of the individual, the size of the tumor, and many other factors. In general, early detection and adequate treatment of Adenoid Basal Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix can help achieve a better outcome
