Question: I think my aunt is faking having cervical cancer how can i tell?
Answers:
alot of women mislead the whole thing about cervical cancer, there are stages of the cancer process. I was diagnosed and thought the worst of having it, But with early detection it can be reversible. you dont tend to look unhealthier when you have it. There could be a chance she is telling the truth, statistically alot of women get it, but without proper medical checkups i.e. pap exams.. could go undetected until it is too late. they do a routine "colposcopy" every couple of months to cut out any abnormal cell growth.
Cancer refers to a class of diseases in which abnormal cells grow without control. The term tumour or neoplasm refers to an abnormal growth of cells. Tumours can either be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). A benign tumour does not spread to surrounding tissues or organs and usually does not come back after it has been removed. On the other hand, a malignant tumour can spread (e.g., from the cervix) and invade other tissues or organs in the body
Cervical cancer is the second most common type of gynecological cancer in North America. The incidence of cervical cancer has declined dramatically since the 1950s. The Pap test screening (also known as Pap smear) was the major contributing factor to this decline. The Pap test detects cell changes in the cervix.
As discussed above, some of these changes are noncancerous, but some cells may become precancerous. If precancerous cells are not found and are left untreated, they can progress to more invasive cancer of the cervix
