Study Notes
Endometrial Uterine, Cervical, and Ovarian Cancer
-
Endometrial Uterine Cancer:
- Introduction: Pear-shaped organ within the female reproductive system, where fertilized eggs implant. Provides nourishment and environment for the growing fetus.
- Risk Factors: Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) prolongs estrogen exposure. Nulliparity (never given birth). Polycystic Ovary Disease (increased hormone production). Increased age is a non-modifiable risk factor. Late menopause results in prolonged estrogen exposure. Family history of uterine cancer and obesity are genetic risk factors.
- Assessment: Abnormal bleeding (unplanned/unexpected), vaginal discharges (abnormal colors/odors). Low back, pelvic, or abdominal pain.
-
Cervical Cancer:
- Introduction: Third most common cancer in women worldwide.
- Causes: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
- Risk Factors: Smoking (carcinogenic nicotine). Weakened immune system makes individuals susceptible to viruses like HPV. Multiple pregnancies increase exposure risk.
- Signs and Symptoms: Abnormal bleeding between periods. Bleeding after sexual intercourse, douching, or pelvic exam. Bleeding after menopause. Increased vaginal discharge. Pelvic pain.
-
Ovarian Cancer:
- Introduction: Develops in the ovaries (female reproductive glands).
- Risk Factors: White women and those ages 55-65 are more likely. Geographic location (North America, Europe).
- Diagnosis: Exploratory laparotomy (surgical incision in the abdominal cavity).
-
General Treatment/Management:
- Non-Surgical Interventions: External or internal radiation (for solid tumors). Chemotherapy. Progesterone therapy (for estrogen-dependent tumors). Tamoxifen (anti-estrogen).
- Surgical Interventions: Radical hysterectomy; total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAHBSO); partial or total hysterectomy.
- Nursing Interventions: Pre-op: provide education on cancer stage, treatment options, and side effects of radiation/chemotherapy. Post-op: monitor for shock, internal/external bleeding (hemorrhage). Hemorrhage is more common after vaginal hysterectomy. Encourage ambulation. Monitor hydration needs, stool characteristics/frequency (bowel issues). Encourage fluids/IV hydration.
- Dietary Management: Eat fruits/vegetables high in flavonoids (protection against cancer), folate (reduces cervical cancer risk), carotenoids (vitamin A, for reducing cervical cancer risk).
- Prevention: Safe sex practices (one partner, condoms). Cervical screening (Pap smear). Have few sexual partners. Delay first sexual intercourse. Don't smoke. Maintain a healthy weight. Exercise. HPV vaccination.
