▼ Abstract
Background -
Cancer is one of the world’s major killer diseases.
Cervical cancer is a disease in which the cells of the cervix become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors and it is the first most common
cancer in women living in sub-Saharan Africa, but no more than 5% of women in these settings are screened for
cervical cancer even once in their lifetimes.
Cervical cancer is a preventable disease, however the prognosis of the disease depends on the stage at which the disease is diagnosed and start treated.
Objective – To assess the willingness and acceptability of
cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV/AIDS in selected public health institutions of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from December – June, 2014.
Methodology - An institutional based quantitative cross sectional study design supplemented by qualitative in depth interview was conducted to assess willingness and acceptability of
cervical cancer screening among women living with HIV/AIDS. After simple random selection of health institutions, based on patient flow proportional allocation of study units was done to get study units from respective health institutions. Data was collected using structured questionnaires. Multivariate logistic analysis method was employed to determine factors significantly associated with acceptability.
Result-A total of 322 study subjects were included in this study. Of these 110 (34.2%) heard about
cervical cancer before, 202 (62.7%) were willing to be screened for
cervical cancer, but finally only 80 (24.8%) were accepted the test. This study also identifies the knowledge level of the study participants, and only 81 (25.1%) were considered as knowledgeable. Women who list the first most cause of
cervical cancer as viral/HPV were 1.8 times more likely to accept the test than those who list other than this (AOR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.011, 3.895, P=0.04).
Conclusion and Recommendation-More than half of the study participants don’t want to undergo the test, and most reason given was due to long waiting time. So the investigator recommend disease prevention unit of FMoH to integrating this preventive care service in the existing HIV/AIDS treatment guideline and making the screening service available in majority of the public health institutions.

▼ ABSTRACT
Background: Cervical cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the
world after breast cancer. It is the most common genital cancer in Kenya and causes
most deaths of gynecological cancers. Most of patients at KNH present with late stage
clinical disease. HPV is a causative agent with many other risk factors. Early diagnosis is
possible using various methods, because cervix is an easily accessible organ. In
developed countries, population based screening has reduced morbidity and mortality due
to cervical cancer and increased the rate of early diagnosis. Not so for third world
countries. Despite late presentation, some women present early with pre-invasive lesions.
Objective: To determine the factors that influence early diagnosis of cervical cancer
Design: A cross-sectional, comparative study.
Setting: Kenyatta National Hospital, Colposcopy clinic for early diagnosis subjects and
Radiotherapy clinic for subjects with advanced cervical cancer.
Method: Two groups of women were sampled. The first group was those women
presenting with dysplastic lesions, while the second group was those with late advanced
cervical cancer.
Data management: Raw data was entered in a computer. Univariate and multivariate
Statistical analysis using appropriate tests and logistic regression analysis was done, to
test the significance of dependent and independent characteristics.

Results: Early diagnosis was associated with higher social economic status than late
diagnosis as in 61.9% and 26.3% respectively, were either in business or were
professionals (p=0.02). Those with early diagnosis were more likely to have a higher
education than those with late diagnosis (55.3% and 32.9% respectively, P‹0.001).
Visiting a gynecologist in the previous 5 years was commonly associated with early
diagnosis (39.5%) compared to 11.8% of those who had late diagnosis (p‹0.001). Those
with early diagnosis were also more likely to have visited a gynecologist more frequently
compared to the ones with late diagnosis (76.7% and 11.1% respectively, p=0.004).
There was a higher level of awareness on cervical cancer among those with early
diagnosis (36.8%) than the ones with late diagnosis (7.9%), p‹0.001. For many women,
despite being aware of cervical cancer, fear of screening outcome was reported as a major
reason for not screening for cervical cancer (42.9% and 39% with early and late diagnosis
respectively, p=0.9). Women of higher social economic status were more likely to source
their reproductive health services from private health facilities (38.6%) compared to 7.7%
of those with late diagnosis (p‹0.001).There was high perception of lack of community
social support by both groups of women with either early or late diagnosis(67.1% and
89.5% respectively, p=0.002.
Conclusion: It is concluded that higher education, exposure to knowledge, higher social
economic status, previous visit to a…

▼ Cervical Cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths in women worldwide. These deaths are unnecessary, as there is evidence that Cervical Cancer is preventable and treatable if detected early and managed effectively. Human Papilloma virus (HPV) is a well-known cause of Cervical Cancer with HPV genotypes 16 and 18 are responsible for 70% of all Cervical Cancer worldwide. However, there are other risk factors. Current estimates indicate that every year 527,624 women are diagnosed with Cervical Cancer and 265,653 die from the disease. In Namibia with a population of around 2.1 million, 632,000 women aged 15 years and above are at risk of developing Cervical Cancer. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with Cervical Cancer among women in Khomas region, Namibia. The researcher conducted an unmatched 1:1 case control study. A sample size of 402; 201 cases of Cervical Cancer and 201 appropriate controls were chosen using a simple random sampling method. Data was analysed using Epi info 7. Bivariate analysis was done using odds ratio to determine association between suspected risk factors and Cervical Cancer. Significant associations at 5% on bivariate analysis was loaded into a logistic regression model to determine predictors of Cervical Cancer. The multivariate logistic regression analysis found that after adjusting for HIV status, the following variables were significant risk factors of Cervical Cancer: family history of cancer (AOR:2.55; 95% CI, 1.64-3.95; p = 0.0004), unemployment (AOR: 2.56; 95% CI, 0.26-0.59; p = 0.0001), marital status (AOR: 1.90; 95% CI, 1.25-2.89;p=0.003), living in rural areas (AOR: 2.77; 95% CI, 1.26-4.21; p= 0.000002), use of contraceptive (AOR: 1.64; 95% CI, 1.08-2.49; p = 0.03), lack of secondary education (AOR: 2.49: 95% CI, 1.50-4.13; p = 0.0005) and not attending Pap smear screening (AOR: 1.92; 95% CI, 0.33-0.82; p = 0.007). These risk factors associated with Cervical Cancer in our environment could be the basis for targeted screening and treatment programme. The introduction of routine HPV vaccination could reduce Cervical Cancer.

▼ In 2014 alone, over 3 million women aged ≥15 years were at risk of being diagnosed with
cervical cancer in Zambia. Our study aimed at examining trends and factors associated with
cervical cancer morbidity and mortality, among cases presented at the Cancer Diseases
Hospital (CDH), in Lusaka, Zambia. A retrospective case-study was conducted to review
cervical cancer morbidity and mortality between 2007 and 2014 at Cancer Diseases Hospital
(CDH). Eligible cervical cancer cases and deaths recorded from Zambian patients ≥15 years
were reviewed using a set criterion. Descriptive statistics were generated for all the variables
and further analyses were done using Chi-square, Ordinary least-squares regression and Coxhazard
regression in SPSS ver20. Cervical cancer cases were highest in 2012, compared to
other years; a unit increase in years, resulted in 8.1 increase in numbers of cases. Conversely,
a unit increase in years, resulted in a 3.7 reduction in cervical cancer deaths at CDH. Mean
age at diagnosis was 49.9 and 51.5 years at death. High cases were reported among married
women of child-bearing age, living in urban areas. Those ≥56 years were 1.1 times more
likely to die of cervical cancer than those younger. Risk of death was also influenced by
advanced stages of cancer and HIV status. The general overall mean months of survival to
death was 58.4 months. Months of survival were statistically affected by factors such as age,
staging, radiotherapy as type of treatment, and of HIV positive status. This study established an
increasing trend of cervical cancer cases and reducing mortality over 2007-2014. Late
diagnosis and HIV positive status increases the case fatality risks among the patients at CDH.
We recommend to setting up deliberate cervical cancer screening services especially among
HIV positive women.

▼ BACKGROUND
The major health problem of the country, Ethiopia has been largely preventable
communicable diseases and nutritional disorders. Breast and
cervical cancer
is the primary non infectious disease following hypertension and diabetes.
Breast and
cervical cancers are public health problem and the most common
cause of
cancer deaths among women in developed or developing countries.
However there is no adequate information regarding magnitude and associated
risk factors of breast and
cervical cancer in Ethiopia. This study identifies the
magnitude and associated risk factors of breast and
cervical cancer and some
useful input for National Health Care Service.
General Objective To assess the magnitude of breast and
cervical cancer and associated risk
factors for breast
cancer in Addis Ababa, Tikur Anbessa Specialized referral
hospital from March1/2013-april 15/2013.
Methodology
Cross-sectional study of retrospective secondary data and case control study
were conducted in Addis Ababa, Tikur Anbessa Specialized referral Hospital ResultBreast and
cervical cancers cross-sectional retrospective data were 753 and
case control directly collected from
cancer radiotherapy department and
Gyn/Obs department were 357 included in the study. The mean age for breast
cancer was 47.6 years with Sd 14.1, minimum age 15 years and maximum was
99 years and
cervical cancer mean age 51.6 years with Sd 12.8 minimum age
20 and maximum 92 years. The incidence rate of breast
cancer was 28.4 from
100,000 female and 15.7 from 100,000 female for
cervical cancer. The breast
cancer incidence was very high among A.A city dwellers. The body mass index
of participants above 25.1kg/m4.6 times (AOR= 4.643 (95% Cl: 1.819,
12.896) more likely affected than body mass index less 25.1kg/m
2
.Age 50
years and above 6 time (AOR=6.003 (95% CI: 2.606, 13.830) more likely
affected than lower age groups.
Conclusion
Incidence of breast
cancer in Addis Ababa city was higher, which is needed
more health check up and intervention. Ministry of health should have set
clinical and self breast examination and
cervical screening every six month for
all age above 40 yrs, BMI greater than 25.1kg/m
and those live in rented
house.

▼ Cancer is an emerging public health issue in Africa and in which
Cervical cancer is count to be the second most widespread
cancer among women. Despite the availability of large number of
cancer patients in Ethiopia there is no national
cancer control program and there is no
cancer registration process. Moreover there is only one referral governmental health institution in the country for all
cancer cases. The overall objective of this study was to explore and understand the psychosocial experiences and needs of women patients who are diagnosed with
cervical cancer. This study was carried out in Black Lion Referral Hospital. A total of 15 participants (12 patients and 3 key informants) were purposively selected to take part in the study. The study employed a qualitative method with an exploratory case study design. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews made with the cases and key informants. In organizing the data, thematic content analysis method which involves transcription, translation, coding and categorization and theme development was employed. Findings of this study revealed that women who were diagnosed with
cervical cancer have faced with tremendous physiological, psychological and social challenges as a result of their illness. The challenges they have faced following to their diagnosis and in the course of their treatments were not only exceptionally personal but affected various levels of their personal, family, professional and social lives. According to the finding of this study, lack of screening service in the origin, distant of the treatment location, inaccessibility of beds for treatment admission in the hospital, non-affordability of treatments , poor communication among the health professional and the patients, lack of information about the illness and its treatments, intimacy issues and separation from families and loved ones, remission of the illness after some stage of the treatments, financial crisis, depression and hopelessness were found to be patients psychosocial need during their diagnosis with
cervical cancer and in the course of their treatments. However, participants also shared common coping mechanisms such as attending religious rituals, seeking social support systems during the diagnosis and in their treatments phases. The findings of this study suggests that the government should give a priority in the developing healthy milieu and increasing access to quality of health services to
cancer patients, principally in regional level. Furthermore health social workers need to develop sensitive and responsive skills to assist patients to deal with their psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual needs during the diagnosis with
cervical cancer and in the course of the treatments.

▼ Cervical cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in the developing
countries. In Kenya, it accounts for 59% of all genital cancers of both men and women.
Although it is the most preventable form of cancer, its incidence remains high, with 500,000
new cases occurring annually worldwide. About half of these women die from the disease
annually, at a time when they have' important social and economic responsibilities. The
objective of the study was to assess knowledge, attitudes and preventive behaviour of women
regarding cervical cancer. The Health Belief Model, a theoretical framework used in the
analysis of health related behaviour, guided the study. It is important in explaining as well as
predicting individual acceptance of health care recommendations.
The study was a descriptive, cross-sectional study, carried out in Lirnuru division of
Kiambu district, Kenya. One hundred and sixty women (mean age of 37.9 years) who sought
various services from Tigoni Sub-District Hospital were interviewed. Three Focus Group
Discussions (FGDs) were conducted and five case narratives recorded.
Two-fifths (40%) of the respondents reported having heard about cervical cancer.
About a third (33%) spontaneously associated cervical cancer with contraceptive use, notably
use of pills and coils. Having multiple sexual partners (5l.2%) and a history of STDs (6l.5%)
were other risk factors mentioned by respondents. Less than half (45.2%) who had heard
about cervical cancer reported that it could be prevented. Various barriers to utilization of
screening services were mentioned including lack of knowledge about Pap smears, lack of
knowledge of where such services are offered, attitude of health service providers, ignorance,
that women do not give it a thought or may~beafraid or embarrassed of pelvic examination,
and that Pap smear examination is expensive. A majority (87.5%) felt vulnerable, since it
affects women, any of them could catch it; reported multiple sexual partners; use of FP; fate
or bad luck; inability to identify andlor avoid risk factors; and unfaithfulness of their sexual
partners (whether real or perceived).
An extensive knowledge base of cervical cancer and its risk factors lacks among
women in Kiambu. Inadequate and misconceived knowledge of cervical cancer, and lack of
awareness of services and their location may be barriers to service utilization by women.
Educational campaigns need to be established. Reproductive health programmes should
promote safer sexual behaviour, as well as incorporate a gender approach, specifically male
involvement in reproductive health, to address gender-related problems that face women

▼ Regions with the highest burden of
cervical cancer are
often those with the most limited access to resources and care.
This is especially true for countries in southeast Africa, which
carry the greatest burden of this disease, such as Malawi. Factors
contributing to such high incidence and mortality rates include not
only limited accessibility, misunderstanding of disease, and
economic barriers, but also ineffective data capturing
instrumentation used by clinicians in the field. To identify the
characteristics of survey instrumentation that are found to yield
missing or inapplicable responses, data from the 2012 PAPS
cervical
cancer intervention in Malawi was studied. In this weeklong
intervention, 1,221 Malawian patients were seen and screened for
cervical cancer through use of Pap smears. Of the 1,210 with
evaluable Pap smear tests, 124 were found to yield abnormal
results. Yet, of equal interest, was the pattern of missing values
and inapplicable responses that were found in each section of the
survey instrumentation, administered during the patient
consultations in the clinic. Qualitative and quantitative reasoning
was used then to analyze and justify what the most effective and
ineffective ways in which data was captured in this instrument so
an improved version of the same tool could be produced and is
included in Appendix B. It was found that missing data was least
commonly found in questions that had a pre-set list of options, and
used a “checkbox” format. This research is imperative to improving
the efficiency with which the data can be collected and used to
best treat the population at risk, in this case underserved
Malawian women who have rarely been screened for
cervical cancer
prior to this PAPS site visit.

▼ Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide after breast cancer.
Every year, around 494,000 develop cervical cancer globally and almost 49.5%
(233,000) die from the disease annually with about 80% (376,000) in developing
countries. Little evidence exists on the extent of knowledge about cervical cancer
screening among female tertiary students in Bono and Ahafo regions.
The aim of the study was to assess knowledge, risk perceptions, level of accessibility
and intention or willingness to take cervical cancer screening among female tertiary
students in the Bono and Ahafo regions.
The study adopted a cross-sectional study design and a quantitative approach. A
cluster sampling technique was used to select 250 respondents for the study. Data was
collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics
with the help of STATA software v14.
The knowledge of cervical cancer among the female tertiary students was generally
average (48%) for signs and non-signs and 64% on risk factors, although 58% have
not heard about a preventive vaccine. Level of accessibility to cervical cancer was
low. 59.8% do not know where to get cervical cancer screening services, 62% do not
have accessibility to cervical cancer services and reproductive health facilities in the
regions under study. Also, on risk perception, 82% use condom as a means of
protection during sexual intercourse of which the majority 54.6% used condom to
prevent pregnancy. 50.6% do not belief they can get HPV from infected boyfriend.
The intention or willingness to take cervical cancer was influenced by perceived
susceptibility, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived severity and cues to
action on development of cervical cancer of which 59% indicated they are not
susceptible, 60.3% indicated cost, lack of information and others personal barriers to
take the screening. Approximately 85% indicated high benefits in taking the screening
as it provides early detection and can save life. About 50% also indicated external
cues from significant others can influence their intention to take cervical cancer
screening.

▼ Objectives:
Cervical cancer screening guidelines have been revised, and now emphasize evidence-based medicine, resulting in recommendations for less frequent screening; however, these changes have been met with concern by both patients and providers. Understanding the patterns of acceptance versus reticence to accept these guidelines by health systems, providers, and patients is critical to developing successful strategies for translating policy change into routine practice. Here we fill some of these knowledge gaps by incorporating both actual
cervical cancer screening practice data and patient perspectives towards HPV testing and screening interval changes through the following specific aims: 1a) describe the uptake of co-testing and examine the correlates of receiving an HPV co-test, 1b) estimate the length of time until the next screening test following either a negative Pap smear alone or a dual negative co-test, and 2) investigate the correlates of reluctance to
adhere to revised guidelines, which recommend the addition of HPV testing along with less frequent
cervical cancer screening. Methods: Using
cervical cancer screening records from the Pathology Data Systems (PDS) at Johns Hopkins Hospital, we estimate temporal trends in choice of screening strategy (cytology alone or with HPV DNA testing) and the interval between successive screening tests in routine clinical practice. We then incorporate the patient perspective by using data collected in the HPV in Perimenopause (HIP) natural history study of women age 35-60 years, we will compare women who indicate willingness versus reluctance to accept alternative screening strategies such as HPV testing and a longer interval between
cervical cancer screening tests. Results: In clinical practice, we saw a significant increase in use of HPV co-testing over the last 10 years, reaching almost 80% of screening tests. We also saw a significant increase in time between screening tests following a
dual-negative co-test to almost 3 years, but essentially no change in time to next screening test following a normal Pap smear, remaining near 1.5 years. Among patients, we found a majority of study participants indicated a willingness to adopt a
cervical cancer screening strategy of cytology alone or Pap-HPV co-testing every 3 years if recommended by their physician, but remain concerned about primary HPV testing and co-testing with 5-year screening intervals. Conclusion: HPV testing was incorporated into screening with an assumption of less frequent screening due to its greater sensitivity and negative predictive value. While intervals have increased following a co-test, more time will be needed to see whether they reach 5 years as recommended. We also found evidence of continued reticence to accepting newer HPV-based screening algorithms among routinely screened women over age 35, highlighting a need for more patient education regarding the use and meaning of HPV
testing.

▼ Objective.To assess personal and parental HPV vaccination acceptance and how it is influenced by demographic factors prior to (2005-2010) and during (2011-2016) the economic crisis in Greece.Methods. During 2005-2016, 6,401 women aged 18-65, living in different areas of Greece completed a questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, knowledge of HPV infection’s natural history and its consequences and assessing their intention to receive the HPV vaccine for themselves and their children. Results. Women’s intention to get vaccinated before the economic crisis was higher (86.2%) than during it (82.8%). In addition, the intention of women to vaccinate their children was higher for girls during 2005-2010 (78.3%), while there was no statistically significant difference concerning boys. HPV vaccination acceptance per year, presented a statistically significant variation. The initially high acceptance decreased following vaccine’s release, mainly due to fear of side effects, increased, following objective public education, and declined again. Demographic characteristics affected HPV vaccination acceptance at the time period before the economic crisis in Greece, but not during it. Conclusion. Demographic factors affecting a woman’s attitude towards vaccination prior to the economic crisis in Greece, stopped playing a significant role during the crisis, reflecting its devastating effect on most parts of the population.
Σκοπός. Η αξιολόγηση της προσωπικής και γονεϊκής αποδοχής του HPV εμβολιασμού και πώς οι δημογραφικοί παράγοντες την επηρέασαν πριν την οικονομική κρίση στην Ελλάδα (2005-2010) και κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής (2011-2016). Μέθοδος. Κατά τη διάρκεια της δεκαετίας 2005-2016, 6.401 γυναίκες ηλικίας 18-65 ετών, διαμένουσες σε διάφορες περιοχές της ελληνικής επικράτειας συμπλήρωσαν ένα ερωτηματολόγιο σχετικά με τα δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά τους, τις γνώσεις για τη φυσική ιστορία της HPV λοίμωξης και των συνεπειών της καθώς και με την πρόθεση των γυναικών να εμβολιαστούν οι ίδιες και να εμβολιάσουν τα ανήλικα παιδιά τους εναντίον του HPV για να προφυλαχθούν από τον καρκίνο του τραχήλου της μήτρας. Αποτελέσματα. Η πρόθεση των γυναικών να εμβολιαστούν πριν την οικονομική κρίση ήταν υψηλότερη (86,2%) συγκριτικά με εκείνη κατά τη διάρκεια αυτής (82,8%). Επιπλέον, η πρόθεση των γυναικών να εμβολιάσουν τα ανήλικα παιδιά τους ήταν υψηλότερη για τα κορίτσια τη χρονική περίοδο 2005-2010 (78,3%), ενώ δεν υπήρξε στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά στα αγόρια. Η αρχικά υψηλή προσωπική και γονεϊκή αποδοχή του HPV εμβολιασμού παρουσίασε πτωτική τάση μετά την κυκλοφορία του εμβολίου, οφειλόμενη κυρίως στον φόβο των ανεπιθύμητων παρενεργειών. Προέκυψε επιπλέον ότι οι δημογραφικοί παράγοντες επηρέασαν την απόφαση των γυναικών να προβούν στον δικό τους εμβολιασμό καθώς και των παιδιών τους κατά τη χρονική περίοδο πριν την οικονομική κρίση στη χώρα, κάτι που δεν παρατηρήθηκε τα μεταγενέστερα χρόνια της μελέτης.

▼ Cervical cancer (CC) is a severe disease and one of the most prevailing and dreaded
conditions which affect women all over the world with devastating effects, particularly in
Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). To prevent and reduce the morbidity and
fatality linked with CC, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended cervical
cancer screening (CCS). However, screening uptake in Ghana is low. Male participation in
women’s health issues and CCS is a significant factor in improving the utilisation of
preventive health services in settings where decision making is the prerogative of men. Thus,
this study assessed the behaviour of men towards CCS in the Tamale Metropolis using the
Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as an organising framework.
A descriptive cross-sectional design and quantitative approach were employed, and a
multistage sampling method was used to reach a sample size of 422 men. The respondents
were recruited using simple random sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics
(correlation and regression analysis) in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 21
were employed for data analysis. The findings of this study revealed that the men had a
moderate level of knowledge, good attitude, favourable beliefs, good perceived behavioural
control (PBC), good intentions and moderate behaviour towards CCS. The results also
showed a positive and a negative relationship between the knowledge level and attitude of the
respondents and their behaviour, respectively. Similarly, their knowledge level and attitude
predicted their behaviour. Despite the level of knowledge and attitude of these men, only a
few of them were willing to allow their partners/women to engage in CCS. Therefore, Men
should be considered as part of CCS programmes and policies to inform feasible and
sustained strategies for CCS to maximise the number of women with access to screening.
Information about CC and CCS should be made accessible to both men and women while
increasing the number of CCS centres across the nation.

▼ Cervical cancer is the most common malignancy after breast
cancer in women worldwide. It accounts for 83% of all new cases and 85%
cancer death in developing countries. In South Africa,
cervical cancer is the common
cancer in women with an annual crude incidence rate of 30.2 per 100,000 women and the highest rate were found to be in women between the ages of 66-69 years. Approximately 6800 women in S.A face new case of
cervical cancer while accounting for 3700
cancer death annually. Because of unequal access to the health facilities, socio-economic differences, HPV and HIV infection, the rate of
cervical cancer in black women is higher (42.1%) compared to the low rate in white women. Because of the name “
cancer bush’ given to Sutherlandia Frutescence(S.F) plant by the traditional healers as well as Xhosas, Zulu, Sotho and cape Dutch for its anti-
cancer activity, the plant was in this study to confirm its cytotoxic effect on the
cervical cancer cell lines.
Aim of the study: to evaluate the methanolic extracts of Sutherlandia Frutescens on
cervical cancer cell lines. Materials and Methods: The MTT assay was performed to evaluate SiHa cell lines treated with methanolic extract of S.F (50μg/ml, 100μg/ml, 150μg/ml and 200μg/ml). The three compounds (Canavanine, GABA and Pinitol) were also evaluated for its anti-tumour activity. The cell growth was then showed in real time using Xcilligence. Flow cytometry was employed to determine the mode of action. Caspase 3/7 assay was performed to confirm if cell death was via caspase-dependent or independent and ATP was done to assess the ATP level in S.F treated cells.
Results: MTT shows a significant decline in cells treated with 50μg/ml, 100μg/ml and 200μg/ml of the extract and 50μg/ml was concluded to be the concentration at which 50% of the cells die. The ATP results are inconsistent with MTT result; the ATP level increased in S.F treated cells. Cell index which represents the quantitative measure of cell growth in real time decline upon treatment with 50μg/ml. Flow cytometry showed cells are dying by apoptosis and the cell cycle arrest is mostly in the S phase. The cell death was caspase-dependent as it shows an increased luminescence which is proportional to the number of caspase. The concentrations of the compounds used, Canavanine (1000μM, 1500μM and 2500μM), GABA (100μM, 300μM and 500μM) and Pinitol (30μM, 90μM and 120μM) induce cell death and cell death shows to decrease after the maximum concentration. Conclusion: Sutherlandia Frutescence has proven with number of research that it induces cell death via apoptosis. After evaluating its cytotoxicity, the plant shows to be a promising anti-tumor agent that needs to be clinically proven.

▼ D.Litt et Phil.
Cervical cancer has debilitating symptoms that affect the physical, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of self-schema. This study adopted a qualitative method to explore the experiences of women living with the disease and focused on self-perceptions. Purposive sampling was used to select 16 women undergoing follow-up treatment for cervical cancer. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed through thematic analysis. The main themes included physical symptoms, sexual intimacy, family obligations, support and coping, effects of treatment, illness schemas, disclosure and spirituality. The findings indicate the impact of cervical cancer on women’s self-schema and a need for a holistic intervention to manage the illness.

▼ Abstract
Introduction:
Cancer of the cervix is the second most common
cancer among women
worldwide and it is the most common cause of
cancer deaths among women in developing
countries.
Cervical cancer ranks as the second most frequent
cancer among women in Ethiopia.
In spite of the high incidence and mortality rate, survival time among
cervical cancer patients is
not measured in our country. Thus, this study aimed at providing information on the survival
time among
cervical cancer patients and determining factors attributed to it in Black Lion
Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2013.
Objective- This study is aimed to assess a five year survival time and its predictors among
cervical cancer patients in Black Lion Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 2008-2012.
Methods- A retrospective longitudinal study in the
cancer treatment center at Black Lion
Hospital was conducted. All incident cases of
cervical cancer (1391) registered during 2008-
2012 in Black Lion Hospital were selected and followed retrospectively for the study of five year
survival. Patient charts were reviewed and telephone interview made to generate survival rates
from February to March, 2013. Survival table was used to estimate the probability values of
survival after diagnosis of
cervical cancer at different time intervals. Kaplan Meier survival curve
together with log rank test was fitted to test for the presence of difference in survival among
predictor variables. Cox regression was fitted to find out predictors of survival time. Backward
Stepwise Multiple Cox regression was fitted at 5% level of significance to determine the net
effect of each explanatory variable on time to death after diagnosis of
cervical cancer.
Results- Overall survival was 32% at five years and 52% at three years. It is found that there is
a difference in survival experience between categories of stage of
cervical cancer, treatment
modalities, age of patients, and place of residence. Being in stage IV
cancer AHR 2.974(95%CI
1.303, 6.791), being operated AHR 0.488(95% CI 0.281, 0.848) and receiving palliative
chemotherapy AHR 0.731(95% CI 0.534, 0.937) were predictors of survival time among
cervical
cancer patients.
Conclusion-The results of this study show a strong gradient in survival by stage and
treatment, which underlines the key role of early detection and timely treatment of
cervical
cancer for reducing mortality.

▼ Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in women worldwide, yet few
suitable animal models currently exist for study of this disease. Virtually all cases of cervical
cancer in women are caused by specific types of genital human papilloma viruses (HPVs). This
study aimed at investigating the presence of papilloma virus (PV) in baboons (Papio anubis). It
also aimed at finding out whether PVs cause cervical cancer in baboons. In the study a total of
33 adult female baboons were investigated. The presence of the virus in the 33 baboons was
determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using general primer (Gp) pair Gp 60/Gp 124.
The animals were also screened for the presence of cervical cancer using the Pap smear test.
PCR amplifications of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from the cervical cells
produced PCR products of about 100 base pairs (bps) to 400 bps. The fact that these products
were produced indicated the presence of PVs in baboons. However results from Pap smear test
did not reveal any relationship between PV infection in baboons and cervical cancer
development. This study is not conclusive enough and further screening of about 100 adult
female baboons is required and the PCR products sequenced for verification of product identity.
The animals under study should also be followed up for about 3-5 years and studies such as
immunohistochemistry be carried out together with Pap smear and PCR.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices of nurses regarding the provision of services on cervical cancer at the health facilities in Windhoek district, Namibia. To achieve this aim, four objectives were set: (a) to assess the knowledge of cervical cancer and cervical cancer services among nurses (b) to determine the nurses' attitudes towards the provision of cervical cancer services (c) to assess the practices of nurses towards the provision of services on cervical cancer; and (d) to analyse the association between the key variables with regards to cervical cancer and the provision of its services. A quantitative, descriptive and analytical study, using a self-administered structured questionnaire was completed in 2019.
Data on socio-demographic, knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding cervical cancer service provision was collected from nurses that are working at the randomly selected healthcare facilities such as Windhoek Central hospitals, Intermediate Katutura Hospital, Hakahana clinic, Wanaheda clinic, Okuryangava clinic and Katutura Health Centre. A total of eighty (80) participants was sampled with the means of stratified random sampling, proportionate to the size of the population at a certain health facility. With SPSS version 25, the researcher started with double data entry, descriptive statistics, recoding, redefining, scoring and finally categorising the findings. At a later stage Cross tabulation was done together with Pearson‘s Chi-squared test to determine the significance of the association between the variables, p-value < 0.05.
The study comprised mostly females (78.4%) with 21.6% of males. Of the participants, 74.3% were reported to have a good level of knowledge of cervical cancer and the provision of its services. None of the nurses was found to have poor level of knowledge. All nurses in this study showed a positive attitude towards cervical cancer and its services. Many nurses 71.2% indicated to have a good practice compared to few 28.8% of the nurses with poor practice of cervical cancer service provision. The findings further reported gender to be a significant predictor of practice with the p-value=0.000. Moreover, the study revealed that the level of knowledge was not significantly associated with practice p-value= 0.366. The researcher proposed for an ongoing in-service training to improve nurses’ knowledge and to keep them updated with information on cervical cancer services. Additionally, the researcher recommended a different study to on the challenges faced by healthcare workers in providing services regarding cervical cancer and the women uptake of these services.

▼ Cervical cancer though preventable is a serious public health problem. Cervical cancer can be treated and detected while it is early invasive or pre-invasive significantly improves the probability of curing the disease. WHO reported that cervical cancer is the second most common cause of female cancer globally. There are approximately 500,000 new cases that are identified each year and 250,000 women die of cervical cancer each year. Students in tertiary institutions usually have a high risk of contracting STDs as compared to the general public because of the high sexual behavior in such institutions and they underestimate their risk of contracting various STDs, HPV being one of them. One study found that as many as 60% of college-age women had some form of HPV, which is causally linked to cervical cancer. The aim of this study therefore, was to determine the knowledge of cervical cancer in influencing uptake of cervical cancer screening among female students from selected Universities in Lusaka
The study was a quantitative cross-sectional study of full-time female students in these Universities conducted between July 2016 and January 2017. Data was analysed using Stata 13 (StataCorp, College Station, Texas, USA). The primary outcome was knowledge about cervical cancer, which adopted a validated cervical Cancer Awareness Measures (CAMs) tool and secondary outcome variable was uptake of Cervical cancer screening. Variables were first removed if the likelihood p-value was greater than 0.2, the final predictor variables in the model were those with p<0.05. The uptake of cervical cancer screening was analysed in a similar way.
The study found that the majority of the students had never heard of HPV, and over 90% of them had heard of Cervical cancer. However, regarding the level of knowledge of Cervical cancer, the majority of the students had low knowledge levels with only 9% having high knowledge levels. This study found that only 13% of the students had screened for cervical cancer. Residing within School campus and having a health facility within School campus had a positive significant association to the level of knowledge. Age of sexual debut, knowing someone with cervical cancer and level of knowledge were significant positive predictors of uptake of cervical cancer
Students were aware of cervical cancer, however, their level of knowledge regarding risk factors and preventive measures is very low. This indicated that awareness messages on cervical cancer and its prevention to the Public are not adequate in these institutions, this is a gap that needs to be highlighted because a large number of University female students are sexually active and henceforth a key population to focus on regarding cervical cancer prevention. Therefore, there is need to intensify Information, Education and Communication (IEC) on cancer of the cervix and its prevention in an effort to curb this disease

▼ Human papillomavirus (HPV), a major sexually-transmitted disease, causes
cervical cancer, in addition to numerous other cancers in females and males. This thesis uses mathematical modeling, theory and simulations to study the transmission dynamics of HPV, and associated dysplasia, in a community. A new deterministic model is designed and used to assess the population-level impact of Pap cytology screening on the transmission dynamics of the disease in a community. The model is rigorously analyzed for its dynamical features, vis-a-vis determining the conditions for the effective control (or elimination) and persistence of the disease. Furthermore, the effect of uncertainties in the estimates of the parameter values used in the numerical simulations of the model is accounted for via uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. Simulations of the model show that Pap screening dramatically reduces the incidence of
cervical cancer in the community.

2. To understand methods to measure women’s cervical screening preferences, to
inform the development and testing of a person-centered, evidence-informed approach to
preference-elicitation.
Methods
The overarching conceptual framework was the Ottawa Decision Support Framework.
The first objective was addressed by interview studies with (1) guideline developers and program
managers and (2) health professionals and women considering screening. This was
complemented by a systematic review of quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies of
women’s cervical screening preferences, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment,
Development, and Evaluation approach to developing preference-based recommendations. This
approach was also used in a systematic review of methods to elicit women’s preferences,
addressing the second objective. These findings led to the development and field testing of a
preference-elicitation tool using International Patient Decision Aid Standards criteria, and the
development of a protocol for a population-based study of women’s preferences.
iv
Results
Objective 1
Experts disagree about whether there is enough evidence to include alternative modalities
in cervical screening programs. Women and health care professionals do not recognize that
women face a choice to participate in cervical screening. A narrative synthesis of relevant
literature presented challenges in aggregating preferences across diverse study objectives,
designs, and contexts.
Objective 2
Preference-elicitation approaches for cervical screening are heterogenous in design and
rigour. I therefore developed and field tested a tool to elicit women’s preferences, which
demonstrated that women found the tool helpful to identify their preferences. I then propose a study that uses multiple methods to apply the tool more broadly.
Conclusions
Synthesized preferences data might not be the optimal approach to incorporate preferences into cervical screening guidelines. A tool grounded in shared decision-making can help women identify their informed, values-based screening preferences.

▼ Most
cervical cancers are associated with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs). HPVs display tumorigenic functions in host cells mainly through viral oncogenes E6 and E7 that are best known to inhibit p53 and pRb tumor suppressor, respectively. However, HPV infection alone is not sufficient to induce
cervical cancer. Other cofactors have been identified. Long-term use of oral contraceptives and multiple full-term pregnancies increase the risk of
cervical cancer in women with HPV infection. Prolonged treatment of estrogen is required for initiation and maintenance of
cervical cancer in HPV transgenic mice expressing E6 and E7. Genetic deletion of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) inhibits the development of
cervical cancer in the same mouse models. While these findings highlight the importance of estrogen and ERα in
cervical carcinogenesis, there is little understanding of their mechanism of action.
My dissertation seeks to explain how ERα contributes to
cervical carcinogenesis. The main questions addressed in this dissertation are: (1) Is the DNA- binding domain (DBD) of ERα required for
cervical carcinogenesis? (2) Is epithelial ERα required for
cervical carcinogenesis? Genetically engineered mouse models expressing a DBD mutant or allowing a conditional deletion of ERα were used to answer these questions. The data in Chapter 1 demonstrate that point mutations within ERα DBD reduce estrogen-induced cell proliferation in the
cervical epithelium. In HPV transgenic mice, ERα DBD is necessary for initiation of
cervical cancer. In Chapter 2, I address the effect of specific deletion of ERα in the epithelial compartment on
cervical carcinogenesis. Using epithelium-specific knockout mice, I conclude that epithelial ERα is not absolutely required for estrogen-induced
cervical cancer in HPV transgenic mice. I should also note that, although almost all epithelial ERα-deficient HPV transgenic mice developed
cervical neoplastic diseases, a smaller fraction of mice developed
cervical cancer compared to epithelial ERα-sufficient control mice. These results are in accord with previous observations that stromal ERα signaling is required for progression of
cervical neoplasia to
cancer in the same mouse model. Lastly my dissertation gives a description on the establishment of a new orthotopic mouse model for human
cervical cancer (Chapter 3). This novel preclinical model will be valuable in further studies to determine efficiency of drug candidates such as anti-estrogenic reagents in treating human
cervical cancer.

▼ In this day and age, management of advanced, recurrent or persistent
cervical cancer
includes radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radiation has been the primary treatment
modality for locoregionally advanced
cervical cancer. Accompanying systemic cisplatin
chemotherapy and radiation have shown high response rates with improvements in
long-lasting remissions and overall survival. In this review, we see that cisplatin has
been the standard medication for the treatment of advanced
cervical cancer, as early
as 1985.The top 3 combination treatments were: cisplatin and paclotaxel, followed
by cisplatin and gemcibine and topotecan and cisplatin. These achieved increased
response and overall survival rates (10.25-12.87 months) and a progression free survival
ranging from 4.57- 5.82 months, without further compromising the patients’ quality
of life. This review focuses on the mechanism of action and toxicities of the above
mentioned drugs, as well as their role as a chemotherapeutic agent in the management
of advanced, recurrent, or persistent
cervical cancer. Other combination modalities and
dosages are also discussed.

Gynecology and Obstetrics
Karcinom grlića materice je vodeći uzrok smrtnosti
među ginekološkim malignitetima. U ranim stadijumima lečenje
karcinoma grlića gotovo uvek podrazumeva hiruršku proceduru:
konizaciju, radikalnu histerektomiju/trahelektomiju koja je
povezana sa visokom stopom morbiditeta. Analiza faktora koji dovode
do metastaziranja ovog tumora u okolna i udaljena tkiva je od
velikog značaja u proceni tipa hirurškog i adjuvantnog lečenja koje
treba primeniti. Ciljevi rada su utvrđivanje učestalosti
metastatskih promena u limfnim nodusima parametrija, određivanju
međusobne relacije metastatskih promena u parametrijumu sa
metastazama u pelvičnim limfnim nodusima, kao i utvrđivanju
povezanosti tumorske zapremine i limfovaskularne invazije sa
metastazama u parametrijum i pelvične noduse i utvrđivanje
histoloških prognostičkih faktora kod tumora malog prečnika (≤ 20
mm) gde je utvrđeno zahvatanje parametrijuma. Metod rada. Radi o
kohortnoj studiji koja je uključila sve pacijentkinje, hirurški
lečene radikalnom histerektomijom sa pelvičnom limfonodektomijom, u
stadijumima bolesti FIGO Ia-IIa u periodu 1995- 2001. Analizom
originalnih patoloških izveštaja izvršena je klasifikacija
pacijentkinja prema: patološkom tipu maligniteta, stepenu
diferencijacije tumora, prisustvu metastaza u limfnim nodusima
parametrija i pelvičnim limfnim nodusima i prečniku tumora i
tumorskoj zapremini. Pacijentkinje su podeljene u grupu onih gde
ukupne najveće dimenzije tumora ne prelaze 20 mm, i one sa većim
prečnikom tumora i posledično većom tumorskom zapreminom.
Analizirana je povezanost histološkog tipa tumora, diferencijacije,
dubine invazije, prečnika tumora, tumor volumena sa metastatskim
širenjem u limfne noduse parametrijuma i karlice. U ovoj studiji
korišćene su deskriptivne i analitičke statističke metode.
Rezultati su pokazali da je veća zapremina tumora direktno povezana
sa povećanom učestalošću pelvičnih nodalnih metastaza i širenja u
parametrijum u svim FIGO stadijumima tumorske bolesti. Dubina
tumorske invazije u srednju i duboku trećinu cervikalne strome
direktno je povezana sa većom učestalošću pelvičnih nodalnih
metastaza i širenja u parametrijum u svim stadijumima tumorske
bolesti uključujući i tumore malog dijametra. Zahvatanje
limfovaskularnih prostora direktno je povezano sa većom učestalošću
pelvičnih nodalnih metastaza i širenja u parametrijum u svim FIGO
stadijumima tumorske bolesti. Najvažniji prognostički faktori za
metastatsko širenje u parametrijum i pelvične limfne noduse su
dubina tumorske invazije i zahvaćenost LV prostora. Mikroinvazivni
karcinom u FIGO stadijumu IA1 ne pokazuje metastatsko širenje u
parametrijum i pelvične limfne noduse dok stadijum IA2 pokazuje
metastatsko širenje u pelvične limfne noduse (5.3%) u malom broju
slučajeva, ali ne i u parametrijum. Tumori u FIGO stadijumu IB1 sa
tumorskim dijametrom koji ne prelazi 20 mm pokazali su metastatsko
širenje u pelvične limfne noduse na nivou učestalosti registrovane
u FIGO stadijumu IA2…

▼ markdownabstract__Abstract__
More than 2000 years have elapsed since the first description of cervical cancer by Hippocrates.
Aretaeus, an ancient Greek physician practicing in the first century before Christ, described
uterine cancer as superficial and deep ulcers, which later infiltrate the uterus1
• In 1812 John
Clarke described a peculiar degeneration of the cervix, which he called a cauliflower tumor
because of it's appearance2• Charles Mansneld Clarke introduced the term carcinoma uteri in
1821 and Hooper identified the cauliflower as a carcinoma of the cervix in 18323.
Initia lly there was no distinction between cervical and endometrial carcinoma. Adenoma
malignum was used for highly differentiated glandular carcinomas, without distinction in origin.
When it became clear that cervical cancer was a separate entity, different types of cervical cancer
were described. In German literature Portiokarzinom (karzinom der ektocervix, squamous cell
carcinoma origi nating from the portio vaginalis) and Zervixhohlenkarzinom (karzinom der
endocervix, adenocarcinoma arizing from the cervical channei)H were dist inguished.
Ruge and Veit 1881 and later the school of Schroeder different iated between a portio
carcinoma, arising from the connective tissue oft he cervix or from columnar epithelial erosions
and cervical carcinoma arising from de cervical glands or from the connective tissue. Treub in
1892 proposed another classification, based on the extension of the different tumor types. He
described t he carcinoma of the cervix, also called cancroid or epithelioma as a cancer which
originated from the squamous epithelium of the portio vaginalis and the 'Zervixcarcinoma' (cervical cancer) which originated from the cervical glands8
. Today, we speak of cervical
carcinoma, without differentiating between portio and cervical cancer.

▼ The field of psycho-oncology has expanded over the last thirty years and there has been much research focussed into the general cancer patient experience and into specialist areas like breast cancer. However, there is limited literature that outlines the psychosocial needs and patient experience of women undergoing combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer. In a country like Australia, this group of patients is a small sample of the overall cancer population, however clinical practice indicates that these patients often have high psychosocial needs.
This study was based at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, a specialist cancer centre in Melbourne. It aimed to illustrate socio-demographic, psychosocial stressors, service utilisation and information about the consumer experience for this patient population. This study employed a practice-based research methodology comprising three Phases including clinical case studies, clinical data mining and consumer interviews.
Results from the research outline socio-demographic details of these patients who attend this specialist cancer centre, and indicate that cervical cancer patients experience high levels of psychosocial stressors and needs and are high users of social work services. Outcomes from the consumer interviews illustrated patient preferences for peer support and attention to post treatment survivorship needs.
Recommendations from this study suggest that there would be benefit to a model of psychosocial intervention focussed on supportive care specifically for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Recommendations also suggest benefit to a patient pathway that is evidence-informed and patient focussed and that incorporates psychosocial factors alongside the medical treatment continuum.

▼ textabstractIn the Netherlands, approximately 2% of all newly diagnosed malignant tumours
in women are cancers of the uterine cervix, corresponding to about 700 new
cases of invasive carcinoma per year. A general practitioner sees a patient with
newly diagnosed cervical cancer only once in 15 years and this may vary
between once in 10 to once in 25 years. Every year about 250 women die from
cervical cancer, which is about 1.5% of all deaths in women caused by cancer.
However, partly due to the mass screening programme, incidence and mortality
rates are decreasing and cervical cancer definitely is a decreasing problem. Just

▼ Background: Cervical cancer is a leading cause of death in Tanzanian women, with annual age-standardized mortality of 38 per 100,000. While organized screening programs have minimized cervical cancer rates in the developed world, a national prevention program has not yet been instituted in Tanzania. Though screening is available at clinics in the Kilimanjaro region, uptake of these services is reported to be low. The objectives of this thesis were: 1) to describe the knowledge, attitudes and practices of cervical cancer screening in rural and urban Kilimanjaro women, 2) to determine the main barriers preventing women from being screened, and 3) to identify important determinants of screening status and screening acceptability in the population. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 312 rural and 280 urban women in the region over June-July 2012. The sample was obtained through a multistage random sampling strategy. Descriptive statistics were performed to address Objectives 1 and 2, while multivariate logistic regression models were created using generalized estimating equations to address Objective 3. Results: Awareness of cervical cancer in the sample was high, but women had less knowledge of screening tests for the disease. The proportion of ever-screened women was significantly lower in the rural (4%) than in the urban (8%) sample. The most common barrier in never-screened women was not knowing that screening existed, followed by anticipated cost of the procedure. Travel distance was a more frequent concern in rural women. Older age, being married, cervical cancer knowledge and healthcare access factors were significantly associated with screening status in urban women, while only older age and condom use were associated in rural women. Personal beliefs about risk were associated with screening acceptability in never-screened women. Willingness to be screened was low in urban women with high socioeconomic status. Conclusions: Participation in cervical screening is extremely low in the Kilimanjaro region due to both access-related and personal barriers. While Tanzania awaits a national screening program, the identified determinants may inform regional screening and education initiatives aimed at increasing screening coverage in the Kilimanjaro area.

▼ Background:
Cervical cancer remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women in the world. It has been estimated that about 500,000 cases of
cervical cancer occur worldwide yearly, with 85% occurrence in resource-poor countries. In Ethiopia,
cervical cancer is the 2nd most common female
cancer in women aged 15 to 44 years and 7,095 new
cervical cancer cases are diagnosed annually. The most common factors which contribute for
cervical cancer and its prevention are: inadequate knowledge about the disease, early initiation of sexual intercourse and multiple sexual partner. Therefore; basic knowledge and an early screening for
cervical cancer is a key intervention in reduction of maternal deaths secondary to
cervical cancer.
Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitude, practice of
cervical cancer screening and its associated factors among female students in Hawassa University College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Hawassa Ethiopia 2015. Methods: A cross sectional quantitative survey was conducted using a pretested anonymous self-administered questionnaire among female students in Hawassa University College of Medicine and Health Sciences from January, 2015 to May 30. The study subjects were selected using by lottery method of simple random sampling technique and a total of 422 female students aged 18-26 years took part in the study. Six diploma midwives were employed to facilitate data collection. The collected data were entered in using EPI-info version 3.5.1 software and exported to SPSS version 20 for further analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the factors associated with knowledge, attitude and practice towards
cervical cancer screening. For data processing and analysis, SPSS version 20 was used
Results: overall, (76.8%) of the female students had heard about
cervical cancer. Risk factors like having multiple sexual partners and initiation of sexual intercourse at early age by and Human papilloma virus were mainly reported risk factors for
cervical cancer by 189 (49.7%) and 47.4% of respondents respectively. Of the risk factors, 189 (49.77% ) of students indicated that having multiple sexual partners and initiation of sexual intercourse at early age were commonly reported risk factor for
cervical cancer while 180(47.4%) of them identified Human papilloma virus.
VIII
But only 202(53.3%) of the respondents were heard about
cervical cancer screening, and almost near to half 48.2 of the respondent were not knew whether there is screening procedures to detect early stages of
cervical cancer. There were poor practice of
cervical cancer screening among female students. Also almost near to half 170(44.7%) of the students had negative attitude towards screening practice.
Conclusion: More than half of the respondents knew about risk factors and symptoms of
cervical cancer fairly and most of the students heard about
cervical cancer. But most of the respondents were not heard weather there is screening methods for early detection of
cervical cancer and…

▼ Cervical cancer remains the leading cause of
cancer mortality among women worldwide, a burden in the developing countries and commonly detected through symptoms at later invasive stages.
The study aimed at establishing knowledge and awareness of the importance of
cervical cancer screening in the Makhuduthamaga Sub-district by exploring the perceptions of women and professional nurses and through the review of the National
Cervical Cancer Screening Policy (2013). Recommendations to address the gap in knowledge and to inform the National
Cervical Cancer Screening Policy were developed based on the study findings.
A mixed-method approach was used in this study through a sequential explanatory design, which is quantitatively driven was used. Quantitative data were obtained by using a researcher developed checklist. The checklist was developed from variables stated in the National
Cervical Cancer Screening Policy and was used to review its implementation. Qualitative data was obtained through in-depth interviews with individual women and focus group discussions with professional nurses.
The study was conducted in ten randomly selected clinics of Makhuduthamaga Sub-district. Purposive sampling was done to obtain qualitative data.
An average score of 9.7 was obtained for all ten clinics that participated in the study with regard to the evaluation of the implementation of the National
Cervical Cancer Screening Policy. Only 6 (60%) clinics implemented the policy whereas 4 (40%) clinics did not implement the policy.
Women and professional nurses perceived
cervical cancer screening as important. Lack of knowledge among women regarding
cervical cancer screening contributed to the majority of women not screening for
cervical cancer.
Lack of resources, the 10 year interval of normal
cervical cancer screening, the use of disposable vaginal speculums and brushes, lack of standardized
cervical cancer screening training, centralization of cytology laboratories came out as factors that negatively influence the uptake of
cervical cancer screening.
Cervical cancer screening awareness campaigns, availability of resources and standardized in-service trainings on
cervical cancer screening were recommended to enhance the
cervical cancer screening uptake.

▼ Zambia has one of the highest cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates in the world due
to under-utilization of cervical cancer screening service (CCSS). Lusaka urban district is
privileged to have a lot of screening centres, yet the debate is whether, having the screening
programme, has impacted on all women aged 18 years and above, as low utilisation rates
have been recorded. It is evident from the statistics that women in Lusaka have not been
utilizing the service, as the number of women who so far have accessed the service is still
very low, at about 3% coverage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that
influence utilization of cervical cancer screening services by women in Lusaka urban
district.
This study was a non-interventional, descriptive cross-sectional study comprising of 368
respondents from four clinics. A multi stage sampling technique was used where the study
population of women were chosen using the simple random sampling technique. The clinics
were chosen using the fishbowl technique of sampling. The data was collected using a semi
structured interview schedule. Data was processed and analysed using Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Descriptive statistics was used to describe data.
Furthermore, chi-square test was used to test associations between the outcome variable
(utilisation) and other independent variables. The statistical significant level was set at
confidence interval of 95%. Logistic regression analysis was also performed. The study,
established that most respondents, 313 (84.6%) had heard of cervical cancer screening
before but only 26% out of the 84.6% knew what it was. However, 148 (40%) had utilised
the service before, of these 7 (5%) respondents went for screening willingly and 141 (95%)
screened after observing a problem. In-line with attitudes 250 (67.9%) respondents were not
interested in screening. Cultural beliefs, busy schedules and fear were the most common
reasons women gave for not screening.
There was an association found between utilisation and social demographic characteristics
such as education level, age and employment status, with p values of 0.05, 0.008 and 0.003
respectively.
Possible interventions included, good prompt and creative health education as important
activities that should be rendered to all women. However, the study discovered that the
knowledge levels of the women were low in relation to the utilization levels. There is need,
therefore, to intensify efforts on promoting awareness towards cervical and screening of
cervical cancer. When cervical cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and associated
with long survival and good quality of life.
Keywords: Attitude, Cervical cancer screening, Knowledge, Utilization and Women.
