This study was conducted to identify the level of quality of life and factors influencing on quality of life in Korean women with breast cancer and cervical cancer. This study was secondary analysis using The seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). In the result of this study, women with the lower age, higher household income, and higher self-rated health status, had the higher level of quality of life. Following the result, intervention strategies are needed to enhance self-rated health and to improve quality of life in women with lower age and lower household income.

유방암에 비하면 그리 흔한 편도 아닌데, 성(性)과 관련 있다 보니 자궁경부암에 대한 관심은 매우 큰 편. 더욱이 예방백신이 나와 있는 유일한 암이라 '선택'이란 걸 할 수 있다는 점도 영향을 주는 것 같다. 관심을 가지고 있었지만 자세히 몰랐던 자궁경부암에 관한 궁금증을 풀어보자.

Uterine cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the female genital tract. Most recurrent cases of uterine cervical cancer are diagnosed within two years after primary treatment, and late recurrence after a disease-free interval of more than five years is rare. In addition, peritoneal metastases usually present as multifocal discrete nodules in the peritoneal cavity with nodular or diffuse peritoneal thickening. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of late recurrent cervical cancer peritoneal metastasis with an unusual manifestation of a large, solitary necrotic mass in the right subphrenic space on contrast-enhanced CT.

This study intended to identify the factors of breast and cervical cancer screening behaviors in married female immigrants and provide information for the development of intervention programs to promote the behaviors. Pender's Health Promotion Model was the conceptual framework of this study. The subjects of this study were 157 female immigrants living in Daegu and Gyeongbuk area. It was found that 33.1% of subjects had mammography, 22.9% of them did breast self-examination, and 51% of them had cervical cancer screening test. The breast cancer screening behavior increased 1.25 times as the score of social support increased one point, 1.13 times as the score of perceived benefit increased one point, 3.58 times when the subjects had experiences of breast and cervical cancer education, and 1.24 times as the score of action plan increased one point. The cervical cancer screening behavior increased 2.89 times when the subjects had experiences of breast and cervical cancer education, and 1.23 times as the score of social support increased one point. However, the cervical cancer screening behavior decreased 0.82 times as the score of perceived barriers increased one point.

Despite the fact that Korea has supported national cancer screening worldwide for a long time, the cancer screening screening rate is low compared to other health screenings and infant screening. In particular, women with disabilities show a lower screening rate for cervical cancer screening compared to women without disabilities. Therefore, from 2011 to 2019, this study investigated the trends in cervical cancer screening rates of women with disabilities and non-disabled women aged 30 and older, and analyzed the factors affecting cervical cancer screening of women with disabilities at the individual and regional level through the cervical cancer screening rates among regions. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that affect regional variation by dividing into regions. From 2011~2019, the cervical cancer screening rate of people with disabilities was the highest in Daejeon and the lowest in Sejong and Jeju, and the gap in cervical cancer screening rate of people with disabilities by region was analyzed to be up to 13.1%.

Purpose : Simple hysterectomy is not a standard surgery for invasive cervical carcinoma. This study was performed to investigate the efficacy of radiotherapy following simple hysterectomy in the invasive cervical cancer. Materials and Methods : Retrospective analysis was done for 19 patients with invasive cervical carcinoma who were treated with radiotherapy following simple hysterectomy from April 1989 to December 1993 The median a9e of patients was 47 years old. Patients were treated with external beam radiation therapy alone (17) or external beam radiation therapy plus intra vaginal ovoid irradiation (2). The median follow up period was 46 months. Results : The 4 year overall survival rate was $75\%$. The 4 rear local control rate was $89\%$. Two patients had recurred at the locoregional and distant sites, and another two patients at distant sites. Conclusion : We confirmed that radiotherapy is the adequate treatment modality for patients with invasive cervical cancer who underwent simple hysterectomy.

Cervical cancer has been one of the leading causes of female death from cancer worldwide with about 500,000 deaths per year. A strong association between certain human papillomaviruses (HPV types 16 and 18) and cervical cancer has been well known. An extract of natural products, Rhus, has been used to investigate whether this agent has the ability of inhibiting the oncogenes E6 and E7 of HPV type 16. This Rhus inhibited the proliferation of human cervical cancer cell lines (C-33A, SiHa, Caski) and HaCaT keratinocytes in a dose response manner. In vitro binding assay and ELISA showed that Rhus inhibited the in vitro binding of E6 and E6AP which are essential for the binding and degradation of the tumor suppressor p53. In addition, Rhus inhibited the in vitro binding of E7 and Rb which essential tumor suppressor for the control of cell cycle. The level of mRNA for E6 was also decreased by Rhus while that of E7 mRNA was not changed. Our data suggested that Rhus inhibited the oncogenecity of E6 and E7 of HPV 16 type, thus can be used as a putative anti-HPV agent for the treatment of cervical carcinomas by HPV.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of MRI in the management of cervical cancer treated by conventional four-field whole pelvic irradiation. Method and material: Between 1993-march and 1994-february, 20 patients(4 Stage I B, 3 Stage II A, 13 Stage II B) with invasive cervical cancer were eligible for evaluation of accuracy of conventionally designed lateral treatment field without MRI determination. Results: 5 out of 20 Patients had inadequate margin without MRI. The position of uterine fundus was more important than cervix in correction of field size and the center of treatment field. Conclusion: This Preliminary data show MRI determination of uterine position prior to radiotherapy planning is essential in the case of four-field whole pelvic irradiation technique.

자궁 경부 세포진 영상의 핵 영역 분할은 자궁 경부암 자동화 검색 시스템의 가장 어렵고도 중요한 분야로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 자궁 경부 세포진 영상에서 HSI 모델을 이용하여 세포진 핵 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 세포진 핵 영역은 형태학적 정보(morphometric feature)와 명암 정보(densitometric feature), 색상 정보(colorimetric feature), 질감 정보(textural features)를 분석하여 핵의 특징을 추출한다. 또한 Bethesda System에서의 분류 기준에 따라 핵의 분류 기준을 정하고 추출된 핵의 특징들을 퍼지 c-Means 클러스터링 알고리즘에 적용하여 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 자궁 세포진 핵 추출과 인식에 있어서 효율적임을 확인하였다.
