Ampir kabéh kangker serviks disababkeun ku human papillomavirus (HPV), nu disebut "common cold" tina inféksi dikirimkeun séksual, sabab ampir kabéh jalma kalawan kapribadian hirup aktif bakal kainfeksi eta. Untungna, sistim imun ngéléhkeun lolobana inféksi papillomavirus manusa, sarta ngan perséntase leutik jalma maju ka pre-kanker, antukna jadi kanker. Tapi naha sababaraha urang tiasa mupus inféksi upami anu sanés henteu tiasa nolak?
To answer this question, Dr. Melissa M.Herbst-Kralovetz of the University of Arizona Cancer Center, an associate professor at the Phoenix Medical School at Union University, studied 100 premenopausal women and found a link between vaginal bacteria and cervical cancer. Compared with cervical cancer and precancerous patients, women with no cervical abnormalities have different vaginal bacterial communities. This difference reveals the direct relationship between “good” bacteria and cervical health. “Bad” bacteria increase the risk of cancer.
Komunitas mikroba di dieu mangrupikeun komunitas baktéri parasit dina awak manusa. Salaku conto, baktéri asam laktat aya hubunganana sareng probiotik dina yogurt, tapi henteu sapertos probiotik dina yogurt, sababaraha baktéri anu aya di dieu tiasa ngamajukeun kaséhatan lingkungan heunceut. Salaku conto, panilitian samemehna nunjukkeun yén awéwé anu gaduh mikroba heunceut langkung seueur Lactobacillus gas langkung condong mersihan inféksi HPV. Bakteri anu saé ogé tiasa ngajaga daérah na sareng nyegah baktéri jahat tina lebet. Nanging, kadang-kadang aranjeunna bakal éléh perang ieu pikeun lahan.
Dina kanker serviks sareng pasién precancerous, baktéri asam laktat-baktéri anu nguntungkeun-diganti ku campuran baktéri anu ngabahayakeun. Dina pangajaran, sabab jumlah baktéri asam laktat turun, Abnormalitas serviks janten langkung serius. Di sisi séjén, baktéri ngabahayakeun disebut Sneathia aya hubunganana sareng pre-cancer, inféksi HPV sareng kanker serviks.
Sneathia are rod-shaped bacteria that can grow into fiber chains. They are related to other gynecological diseases, including bacterial vaginosis, miscarriage, premature delivery, HPV infection and cervical cancer. Dr. Herbst-Kralovetz ’s research found for the first time that a large number of Sneathia populations are associated with all stages of the HPV-to-cancer continuum, from the initial HPV infection to precancerous lesions to invasive cervical cancer.
Henteu jelas naha Sneathia bakal aktip ngamajukeun pembentukan inféksi HPV atanapi kanker, atanapi naha éta ngan ukur pikeun senang-senang. Panilitian ayeuna ngan ukur nyayogikeun gambar awéwé kana waktu. Dina raraga netepkeun kausalitas, panilitian kahareup kedah dilaksanakeun ngalangkungan waktos.
