The amphitheater Madické Diop UGB hosted a conference on "Women and Cancer: Prevention and Therapy." According to the doctor-gynecologist Fara Wade, 90% of cases of cancer cervix are avoidable through prevention and screening.
In his presentation, the speaker explained that the breast and cervix are public health problems that cause much mortality (70-90%) in Senegal and around the world. To believe Dr. Wade, the risk of cervical cancer is dependent on tobacco, contraception, a diet low in beta carotene and vitamin C, but also an immune deficiency and a lack smear. He said more than half of women who suffer at risk of dying. A situation due, he noted, the lack of prevention. Because the disease is "often diagnosed late," he said.
However, the speaker noted, "there are precancerous lesions that take more than ten years to develop into the disease that can see and take steps to prevent them. Women must appear at least once, in consultation gynecology, for a screening examination that will detect precancerous and cancerous lesions and better treatment. The Pap smear is also another way of screening for cervical cancer of the uterus. " Mr. Wade argued that cervical cancer is "negligence, but also an opportunity, because the diagnosis is simple, compared to breast."
Treatable disease
He also lamented that women are afraid to identify out of modesty or other socio-cultural, often presenting at health facilities in a state of advanced cancer. In his opinion, 90% of cases of cancer cervix are curable and can be caught early. "It's easy to treat cancer, when detected early. But if the cancer is detected very late, everything is a treatment failure, "he said, adding that both vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil) exist to prevent cancer of the cervix. "Gardasil, 90% effective, is a sure to roll back cervical cancer. Only it is not available in Senegal, "lamented that the speaker has strongly emphasized the importance of prevention.
He advised women in sexual activity to include in their habits, prevention and screening, "two essential weapons" to fight cancer of the cervix.

The earlier a cancer is detected, the higher your chances of survival. The next two most important weapons you have against cancer are prevention and early detection. we have known for a long time that breast cancer is not just one disease and outcomes from treatment vary from person to person.
