Objectives, Anatomy, Natural History, Histopathology, Complications, Deterrence and Patient Education of Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Abstract
After reviewing this article, participants shouldbe able to understand how to diagnose, treat, and post-treatment monitoring. This article explains about the natural history, epidemiology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, complications, and prognosis of squamous cell cervical cancer. It also narrates the importance of patient education and healthcare teamwork in enhancing cervical cancer management outcomes.
Objectives
- Recognize the pathologic processes that can result in the development of cervical cancer.
- Estimate the differential diagnosis of cervical cancer.
- Diagnose the treatment options available for the management of cervical cancer.
- Communicate interprofessional team strategies for promoting care coordination for effective management of cervical cancer.
