HPV TYPES LINKED TO CERVICAL CANCER: UNDERSTANDING ADENOCARCINOMA AND ADENOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA
Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer occurring in women worldwide. This cancer is typically caused by infection with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). HPV is a family of DNA viruses with over 200 types that can infect humans. Some types of HPV, particularly high-risk types, can lead to cell changes that have the potential to become cancerous. In this article, we will discuss the specific types of HPV that are associated with two types of cervical cancer: adenocarcinoma and adenosquamous carcinoma.

MAINTAINING FAMILY HEALTH THROUGH REGULAR HEALTH CHECK-UP
Maintaining family health is crucial for achieving a quality and harmonious life. One important step to take is regularly conducting health check-ups. Periodic health check-ups help in the early detection of potential health issues before symptoms arise, allowing for early intervention. They also aid in preventing the spread of communicable diseases among family members. Furthermore, health check-ups promote awareness of healthy lifestyles and reduce long-term healthcare costs.

EMPOWERING WOMEN'S HEALTH: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING AND EDUCATION FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES
The article highlights the importance of early detection of cervical cancer and the roles of various parties in educating the public about the importance of regular screenings. Healthcare providers, governments, health institutions, communities, non-profit organizations, family, friends, media, and influencers all have a part to play in raising awareness and making cervical cancer screening accessible and affordable. By working together, it is hoped that public awareness of cervical cancer and the importance of regular screening will increase, leading to a reduction in the number of cases and deaths caused by cervical cancer.

FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY (FNAC)
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) entails using a narrow gauge (25-22G) needle to collect a sample of a lesion for microscopic examination. It allows a minimally invasive, rapid diagnosis of tissue but does not preserve its histological architecture.

THE USEFULNESS OF LIQUID-BASED CYTOLOGY FOR ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND-GUIDED TISSUE ACQUISITION OF SOLID PANCREATIC MASSES
Liquid-based cytology (LBC) is used primarily for cervical cytology, although it is also used for analyzing liquid samples such as urine and ascites specimens, as well as fine needle aspiration material, such as those obtained from breast and thyroid. The usefulness of the LBC method for endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) of solid pancreatic masses was recently reported. The LBC method can produce multiple pathological slides and can be applied to immunocytochemistry and genetic analyses. In this article, we review the usefulness of LBC for EUS-TA of solid pancreatic masses.

GET TO KNOW THE 3 STEPS FOR EARLY CANCER DIAGNOSIS
Early diagnosis of cancer focuses on detecting symptomatic patients as early as possible so they have the best chance for successful treatment. When cancer care is delayed or inaccessible there is a lower chance of survival, greater problems associated with treatment, and higher costs of care. Early diagnosis improves cancer outcomes by providing care at the earliest possible stage and is, therefore, an important public health strategy in all settings.

CONVENTIONAL PAP SMEAR AND LBC PAP SMEAR: WHICH IS MORE SUPERIOR?
Liquid-based cervical cytology was developed to improve the diagnostic reliability of Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. Two methods are used for cervical cytology. The first one is the conventional Papanicolaou (PAP) and the second one is liquid-based cytology (LBC). Although various studies in western countries established the role of LBC in cervical cancer screening, no large-scale study was conducted in our population to compare the two techniques for cervical cancer screeningTherefore, in this study, we compared the diagnostic utility of these two techniques for detecting cervical epithelial lesions.
