And two new studies have changed the way we think. The study showed that patients with psoriasis are still at increased risk for cardiovascular experience, although it controlled the major cardiovascular risk factors. This Akhirn yastudi conclude that psoriasis itself is a risk factor for developing atherosclerosis and heart attacks.

In developing countries, widespread use of surveillance programs reduce the incidence of cervical cancer, invasive cervical by 50% or more. Most studies have found that infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for all cases of cervical cancer. Treatment includes surgery at an early stage, and chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy in end-stage disease.

Infection
Human papilloma virus (HPV) 16 and 18 is the major cause in 70% cases of cervical cancer in the world. Travel from HPV infection to cervical cancer takes a long time, which is about 10 to 20 years. However infection process is often not recognized by the patient, because the process of HPV and pre-cancerous mostly take place without symptoms

In developed countries, this type of cancer cases has begun to decline thanks to early detection programs through pap smears. HPV vaccine will be given to women aged 10 to 55 years by injection three times, namely in the month to zero, one, and six. From research conducted, it is evident that the immune response to work two times higher in young women aged 10 to 14 years than those aged 15 to 25 years.

Cancer is the term used to define a group of diseases having in common the conversion of a normal cell into a diseased cell, able to proliferate uncontrollably and indefinite, with no organization whatsoever and regardless of the work normally meet in the tissue to which it belongs.

As the tumor mass grows, it can alter the structure and function of normal tissues. Some transformed cells are able to invade nearby structures and spread to distant organs traveling through the bloodstream or lymphatic, where they can form colonies called metastasis. The potential to metastasize specifically characterizes called malignant tumors, benign tumors do not have the capacity to metastasize, but may still be a problem, less for their aggressiveness by their location: for example, brain tumor, even as benign and very slow growth, can not increase much in size without giving overt signals, and complete removal may involve a complex challenge. Some begin tumors, left to their evolution, come to becoming malignant.
