Clinical, having to do with the examination and treatment of patients. Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. There are several main types of cancer. Carcinoma is a cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. Sarcoma is a cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood. Lymphoma and multiple myeloma are cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system. Central nervous system cancers are cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord. Also called malignancy.
Preview- It`s been discovered that, in the past 30 years, scientists have determined that HPV (Infection Human Papillomavirus Infection) causes every case of cervical cancer, according to lead study author, Hormuzd Katki, PhD, the principal investigator in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute. The results of this study suggest that an HPV (Infection Human Papillomavirus Infection)-negative test result alone could be enough to give a high level of security for extending the testing interval to every 3 years, but well need additional evidence from routine clinical practice, and formal recommendations from guideline panels before that can be routinely recommended, he said. According to Katki, a series of guideline committee meetings will occur later this year and over the next year, representing over 20 organizations on the potential value of HPV (Infection Human Papillomavirus Infection) testing. Principal investigator is the person(s) in charge of a clinical trial or a scientific research grant. The principal investigator prepares and carries out the clinical trial protocol (plan for the study) or research paid for by the grant. The principal investigator also analyzes the data and reports the results of the trial or grant research. Also called PI. PAP is an enzyme produced by the prostate. It may be found in increased amounts in men who have prostate cancer. Also called prostatic acid phosphatase. Negative test result is a test result that does not show the specific disease, condition, or biomarker for which the test is being done. Human papillomavirus is a type of virus that can cause abnormal tissue growth (for example, warts) and other changes to cells. Infection for a long time with certain types of human papillomavirus can cause cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus may also play a role in some other types of cancer, such as anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, oropharyngeal, and squamous cell skin cancers. Also called HPV. Investigator is a researcher in a clinical trial or clinical study. Cervical cancer, cancer that forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus and vagina). It is usually a slow-growing cancer that may not have symptoms but can be found with regular Pap tests (a procedure in which cells are scraped from the cervix and looked at under a microscope). Cervical cancer is almost always caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Epidemiology is the study of the patterns, causes, and control of disease in groups of people. HPV is a type of virus that can cause abnormal tissue growth (for example, warts) and other changes to cells. Infection for a long time with certain types of HPV can cause cervical cancer. HPV may also play a role in some other types of cancer, such as anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, oropharyngeal, and squamous cell skin cancers. Also called human papillomavirus. Genetics is the study of genes and heredity. Heredity is the passing of genetic information and traits (such as eye color and an increased chance of getting a certain disease) from parents to offspring. Cervical, relating to the neck, or to the neck of any organ or structure. Cervical lymph nodes are located in the neck. Cervical cancer refers to cancer of the uterine cervix, which is the lower, narrow end (the neck ) of the uterus. National Cancer Institute is the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, is the Federal Government`s principal agency for cancer research. The National Cancer Institute conducts, coordinates, and funds cancer research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to the cause, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer.

- For instance, cervical cancer risk for 330,000 women undergoing concurrent HPV testing and cervical cytology in routine clinical practice. Cytology is the study of cells using a microscope.
- One can determine, first large study of HPV and pap co-testing in routine clinical practice confirms most women can safely extend screening to every three years; HPV testing alone also appears to be superior to pap testing alone The first large-scale study of both human papillomavirus (HPV) testing and Pap test for cervical cancer screening in routine clinical practice confirms that women can safely extend their screening intervals from one to three years. The study also found that HPV testing may be more accurate than conventional Pap test in determining cervical cancer risk. Screening, checking for disease when there are no symptoms. Since screening may find diseases at an early stage, there may be a better chance of curing the disease. Examples of cancer screening tests are the mammogram (breast), colonoscopy (colon), and the Pap test and HPV test (cervix). Screening can also include checking for a person`s risk of developing an inherited disease by doing a genetic test.
