Title: “An Investigative Study of the Effects of Cervical Cancer”
Introduction: Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower
part of the uterus (womb) that connects to the vagina. It is usually caused by the human papillomavirus
(HPV), a sexually transmitted infection. Almost all sexually active people will be infected at some point in
their lives, usually without symptoms. HVP can affect the skin, genital area and throat. Some HPV
infections cause genital warts other can cause abnormal cells to develop, which go on to become cancer.
Cervical cancer may not cause any symptoms in its early age, which is why regular Pap smears or HVP
test are important for early detection. Symptoms that may appear as the cancer progresses include
abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, and changes in bowel or bladder habits.
Treatment options for cervical cancer depend on the stage and may include surgery, radiation, therapy,
chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. It is important for women to get regular screenings and to consult
with their healthcare provide for more information.
According to Josephine R. Fowler et.al, Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women
worldwide. Primary prevention and screening are by far the most effective modalities for decreasing the
health care burden and mortality attributable to cervical cancer.
The aim of this research is to comprehensively investigate the various aspects and consequences of
cervical cancer, including its risk factors, early detection methods, treatment options, and its impact on
the physical, emotional, and social well-being of affected individuals and their communities.
The Researchers want to identify the primary risk factors associated with the development of Cervical
cancer, such as HVP infection, lifestyle, factors, and genetic predisposition. To evaluate the effectiveness
of current screening and early detection methods, including pap smears and HVP vaccination, in
reducing the incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer. To investigate the various treatment
options available for cervical cancer, including surgery, radiation, therapy, chemotherapy, and
immunotherapy, and assess their outcomes and side effects.
Is there any hope for the women who has a cervical cancer?
Statement of the Problem
Cervical cancer is an escalating health problem and significant cause of mortality across all
regions of the world. It is a dangerous cancer of women and it’s have a bad effect. The Researchers want
to study the effects of cervical cancer and to answer the other questions:
Major Problem
What are the effects of Cervical cancer?
Minor Problem
1. How does cervical cancer develop?

2. What is the most common age of women who have cervical cancer?
3. What are the most common symptoms of cervical cancer?
4. Is there any cure for this cancer?
Definition of Terms
Investigative
According to Meriam Webster Dictionary, Investigative is to observe or to study by close

examination and systematic inquiry. In this study investigate is the way to discover or study something
you want to prove.
Cervical Cancer
It is a cancer that starts in the cells of the cervix. In this study cervical cancer it’s a disease which is
only have for girls.
Papillomavirus
According to World Health Organization, human papillomavirus is a small, non enveloped

deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) virus that infects skin or mucosal cells. In this study, Human papillomavirus
is a most common sexually transmitted infection. HVP can cause cervical and other cancer, including
cancer of the vulva, vagina, penis, or anus.
Abnormal Bleeding
Is any heavy or unusual bleeding from the uterus (through your vagina). It can occur at any time
during your monthly cycle, including during your normal menstrual period. In this study is the blood that
bleeding even its not time for your period.
Cervix
Cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) in the human female reproductive system. In this study,
the cells of the cervix go through changes known as dysplasia, in which abnormal cells begin to appear in
the cervical tissue. Over time, if not destroyed or removed the abnormal cells may become cancer cells
and start to grow and spread more deeply into the cervix and to surroundings areas.
Scope and Delimitation
This study Investigates about the effects of the person having it. This study conducted specifically in
Municipality of Bantayan and the respondents of this study are those people who has a cervical cancer.
Assumptions
Cervical Cancer also known squamous cell carcinoma, can have numerous negative effects on women
individuals sexual and physical health.
Significance of the Study
Who are those people who can benefits of this study?
The study of effects of the cervical cancer is significant because in this study we will know the possible
effects of cervical cancer on the health of all women and how to prevent this disease.
Young- The benefit that you can get is that they gain a lot of knowledge about cervical cancer and the
effects of it.
Students – The benefit that students can get is that they have a more knowledge about something that
gives the student to a hard understanding.
Researchers –
Researchers can benefit from conducting research, they can contribute to a better understanding of
the underlying effects of the cervical cancer to the young people health.
