Investigación de cáncer de cuello uterino
Researchers throughout the world continue to work on new techniques, treatments and technologies to help patients not only cope with cervical cancer, but conquer it.
Following are some of the most recent developments in cervical cancer research:
HPV vaccines
The initial vaccine developed to prevent cervical cancer, Gardasil, is just the first of many vaccines on the horizon. In addition to vaccines that are intended to produce immunity to HPV types 16 and 18, new vaccines are being developed to prevent other HPV strains from causing cancers and genital warts.
Experimental vaccines are also being studied to help destroy the HPV virus and cure any infections before cancer develops. Others being tested in trials are meant for women who have advanced forms of cervical cancer.
Finally, there are vaccines being developed that produce an immune reaction to the parts of the HPV virus that cause cervical cancer cells to grow abnormally.
Other Cervical Cancer Research
New cancer research is being conducted in many areas, including clinical trials of new chemotherapy drugs, new ways to conduct radiation therapy and new treatments that combine surgery with radiation therapy or chemotherapy to attack and defeat cervical cancer on several fronts at once.
Currently, the National Cancer Institute lists 169 clinical trials for cervical cancer and its stages.
