UCLA scientists have identified a protein that has the potential to prevent the growth of cervical cancer cells. The discovery could lead to the development of new treatments for the deadly disease.
In a five-year study using human samples and mouse models, researchers led by Dr. Eri Srivatsan, a member of the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, found that a protein known as cystatin E/M can inhibit cellular inflammation, which is a major contributor to the growth of cervical cancer.

The Cyto-Tek® 2500 offers excellent
preservation of cellular structure and consistently delivers a high rate of
cellular recovery. With its patented paced acceleration feature, the instrument
automatically increases and decreases the rotational velocity based on the selected
speed, which protects fragile cells and results in higher cellular yield.

The American Society for Clinical Oncology has developed guidelines for the management and palliative care of women with invasive cervical cancer. The clinical practice guideline was published online May 25 in the Journal of Global Oncology. Linus T. Chuang, M.D., from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, and colleagues developed recommendations on the management and palliative care of invasive cervical cancer.

Recent research in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that, along with other clinical characteristics related to vaccination, female clinicians were more likely to administer vaccinations to adolescents during acute care visits. “Because little is known about gender-related differences in delivery of adolescent preventive care, we examined the relationship between clinician, child, and guardian gender and receipt of HPV vaccine compared to Tdap and MCV4 vaccines, which are not associated with a sexually transmitted infection or gender-specific diseases,” Laura Johnson Faherty, MD, MPH said.

Women who do not engage in regular physical activity have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer, according to a case-control study published in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease. Even a minimum of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise per week led to a significant reduction in a woman's risk of a cervical cancer diagnosis, according to the research.

Annual exams are one way for women to make sure everything is functioning as it should in the women's health department. But if one of the stealthier health conditions crops up between exams, problems could arise. Soon, however, women may be able to use a "smart tampon" to perform an at-home test for cervical cancer and other asymptomatic issues.

The addition of cetuximab to radiotherapy appeared to improve clinical outcomes for patients with locoregionally advanced oropharyngeal cancer, regardless of HPV or p16 status, according to a subgroup analysis of a randomized trial. Further, patients with p16-positive oropharyngeal cancer achieved longer OS than p16-negative patients regardless of cetuximab (Erbitux, Lilly) exposure, results showed.

Scientists have developed ultra-fast, meta-genomics analysis software called Taxonomer that dramatically improves the accuracy and speed of pathogen detection. In a new paper, the collaborators demonstrated the ability of Taxonomer to analyze the sequences of all nucleic acids in a clinical specimen (DNA and RNA) and to detect pathogens, as well as profile the patient's gene expression, in a matter of minutes.
