Can you help me for my research paper regarding cervical cancer awareness in the philippines?

Genital Warts:


Genital warts (also known as venereal warts) are caused by a virus, the human papillomavirus (HPV).


Warts are found on or around the penis, anus or vagina.


They are small lumps which have an irregular cauliflower-like surface.


The colour and shape vary depending on their location. Sometimes the warts cause irritation and itching.


Genital warts are a serious health concern as certain types of HPV have been associated with cervical cancer.


However, most women infected with genital warts do not have the strains of HPV that give rise to cervical cancer.


Genital warts often disappear even without treatment. However, there are a range of drug treatments.


Small warts can also be removed by freezing, burning or using laser treatment.


Occasionally, surgery is used to remove larger warts. (BBC News)


Genital warts are hyperplastic, sometimes pedunculated lesions of the skin or mucous membranes of the genitals caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Some HPV types cause flat endocervical or anal lesions that are precancerous. Diagnosis is clinical. Multiple treatments exist, but few are highly effective. Genital warts may resolve without treatment in immunocompetent patients but may persist and spread in patients with decreased cell-mediated immunity (eg, HIV infection).(Merck)


Cervical cancer is usually a squamous cell carcinoma that is caused by human papillomavirus infection or an adenocarcinoma. Early cancer is asymptomatic; the 1st symptom of later cancer is usually postcoital vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis is by screening cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) test and biopsy. Staging is clinical. Treatment usually includes surgical resection, radiation therapy, and, unless cancer is localized, chemotherapy; if cancer is widely metastasized, treatment is primarily chemotherapy.(Merck)
