CERVICAL CANCER
Approximately 16,000 cases of invasive cancer of the cervix are
diagnosed in the United States each year. There are at least 500,000
new cases of pre-invasive cancer diagnosed each year. Early detection
is critical. If treatment is delayed, the cancer may become invasive
and can spread into the vagina, pelvic sidewalls, lungs, liver and
brain. Risk factors for pre-invasive and cervical cancer are the
same and include suppression of the immune system, history of genital
worts, history of herpes infection, first intercourse at an early
age and multiple sexual partners. The most common symptoms that
may appear include abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, bleeding
after intercourse and pain. Techniques for early detection are routine
annual PAP smears and examination by a health care provider. If
you or a loved one is suffering with cervical cancer and suspect
there was a delay in diagnosis or proper treatment, call me.
If a medical mistake was made, you may have a valid claim and
be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
