Eight forty five. Here b you five KCD talk station.
Bet you didn't know it, but you know it now.
It is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month and in studio from
my cancer specialist OHC. And they could be yours too.
I hated you here if you get a cancer diagnosis,
but if you do, you should do what I did
and just turn to OHC. Find them online, learn more
at ohcare dot com or call eight hundred sixty four
(01:21):
ninety eight hundred and you may be under the care
of my guest in study today, doctor Edge got Gooby,
Doctor Gooby, it's great to see you today, Rian.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Thank you very much for having me, and thank you
to your listeners for having us.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
On oh Listen. I thoroughly enjoy these conversations. They're very enlightening,
and of course you know I have a special, extra
special connection with cancer, sadly, but I've learned a lot
over the years from talking with the OHC folks across
all areas of cancer. And one thing that I've learned
is cervical cancer. And we'll talk in depth about this,
but HPV human papoloma virus can equal cervical cancer. There
(01:52):
is a direct line correlation between HPV and cervical cancer
in women.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
That is absolutely correct. So HPV is highlyssociated with cervical cancer.
Ninety percent of cervical cancers are associated with HPV. But
that does not mean that just because you have the
virus that you will develop cancer. But it is something
that we watch very closely for and that's why screening
annual follow ups are just absolutely powamount.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Well, and from what I know and I've read, and
I went back though the last time you were scheduled
to be on the program, I looked it up. Pretty much
everybody's got HPV.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Eighty five percent of sexually active partners have HPV. It
is a very think of it like the chicken pox virus.
At some point, as long as you've been sexually active,
you very likely have HPV unless both partners have never
been with any anyone else. So if you've got two
partners that have been in a completely monogamous relationship, that's
likely the only chance.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
All right. Now, Moving aside from HPV, smoking and weaken
immune system can also bring about cervical cancer.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, I think of smoking is causing free radicals. It
diminishes your immune system. Other any other infections that weaken
your immune system. Your body just has a tendency to
not be able to fight off any other infections, including
what causes HPV. So HPV will cause cellular changes and
if your body just inherently can't fight that off, it
(03:09):
then just triggers a downstream effect.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
How about that? Plus I read long term use of
birth control pills? How often is I mean, is that
there's a noticeable correlation between that and how long is
long term use?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
We've seen a correlation with that. So anytime they do
these studies, they'll take a group of cervical cancer patients
just look to see what risk factors have been their
birth control medications have been associated with it. Now, the
hard part in that is is that also because of
unprotected intercourse, so many women that are on birth control
medications have unprotected intercourse. That seems to be the bigger
(03:41):
correlation with HPV transmission.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
All right, fair enough, Now how about the signs and symptoms.
How would a woman know if maybe she's got something
going on?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I always advocate that patients know their body best women men,
I mean, you know your body. You know your baseline,
irregular bleeding, abnormal discharge, and it's not something that just
lasts a day or two or a week or so.
Everyone's gonna have some altered a key changes, but this
is persistent pelvic pain, pelvic pressure, just things that are
a change from your baseline where you feel like you
(04:10):
know something's off. Just go in and be seen. That's
the most important thing. We We always worry when women
go five years, ten years with all these irregular changes
and just are afraid to follow up. That's where it
becomes extremely problematic. Afraid, very afraid because I guess we
all have that fear of what if there really is
something and I want to deal with it. It's kind
(04:31):
of burying your head in the sand. And I can
tell you I do the same thing. Also, I'd rather
just deal with my other issues in life than trying
to figure that out. But the right thing to do
is go for those screening visits, is follow up. You know,
if there's something wrong, just go be seen so we
can figure out what's going on. Because the earlier we
catch stuff, the easier and the better the treatment can
be than dealing with something that's more advanced.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, and I mean, isn't it standard medical practice for
women to get a perapsman or on a regular basis.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Pelvic exams on a yearly bas espressed exams, mammograms on
a yearly basis. Perhaps me recommendations do vary a little
bit where sometimes you can space them out to three
to five years, but the pelvic exams are absolutely paramount
with that. But exactly like you said, like that's where
the fear comes in, and it's just well, life kind
of takes over. It's been a year, you push it off.
(05:18):
Now it's been two years, You push it off. Now
it's been three years, and all of a sudden, if
there are changes that are going on, abnormal changes that
are going on, they just develop into further issues.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, in moving toward how to prevent server CANCERM mean,
you've already addressed these sexual activity thing, which I have
to imagine, giving the number of people out in the world,
most people aren't going to abide by that. But there
is an HPV vaccine. I don't want to dive into
this now delicate conversation about vaccines, but how many years
they've been on the market have they been proven to
be a safe to use vaccine?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
So I agree, I don't want to get into a
political conversations very family oriented conversation as well. But for us,
from a medical standpoint, this vaccine has significantly proven to
decrease the world r of not only cervical cancer, but
penile cancer and boys also, so it is both for
men and women. It's approved from the ages of nine
to forty five. And to me, if there is anything
(06:12):
that I can do, and I have two girls, they
will both get it to decrease their chances. I can
trust my children inherently, but again, they're going to be
sexually active at some point in their life. You never
know who their partners have been with in what viral
transmissions can be occurring. So if there is something that
can be done to prevent that, absolutely I would.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Go for it. Yeah, I understand that. But as long
as it's been on the market though, they've done research
and there isn't a connection between the HPV vaccine and
side effects or damaging things happening long term.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Note I mean every vaccine has some acute side effects,
such as a pain in the injection site, some rashes
that can occur, just acute effects like that. But this
has been on the market for decades at this point
and very well proven and especially proven to decrease the
risk of high grade cervical displaces as well cervical cancer.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Okay, and I understand diet can have a fact it
can be a factor in cervical cancer as well.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Absolutely so anything from And the hard part with nutrition
in cancer is that anytime you read a magazine, an article,
any sort of recommendations from a nutritional standpoint, everything varies dramatically,
But it's all about healthy living healthy diet. Anyone that
is medical comorbilities, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, it just makes it
harder for your body to fend off the cancer and
(07:26):
tolerate the treatments for cancer. So healthy living, healthy diet
is always going to be paramount in your treatment success.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah. I've read on multiple occasions that there is a
direct correlation between obesity and cancer, and given the level
of obesity we have in this country, it's a little alarming.
I don't know the reason why. I mean, could be
the things in our food. I know RFK Junior is
going to solve that problem. RFK Junior to the West Risky,
but I mean it's a widespread problem and a growing problem.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
It's an epidemic. I mean, if you look at the
CDC websites as to the obesity rates back from nineteen
seventy to twenty twenty. Yeah, and you see how it
spans out. I mean, it is alarming and even for
our youth of today, and so just getting out there,
just starting off with healthy and just active, just lifestyle
(08:14):
choices can make such an impact when it comes to
long term care.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
All right, So you know, sadly someone gets a cervical
cancer diagnosis. I guess my first question before we get
to the treatments that are available, can that metastasize?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It can? And that's why it goes back to our
previous statement as to the earlier you get seen hopefully
the earlier we are catching this. So cancer, we cancers
based on two things. Great is how gress of the
cancer is stage, has it metastasized, So we want to
do that full work up figure out exactly what we're
dealing with. Cancer is more of an umbrella term. We
want to know exactly what cell type we're dealing with. Also,
(08:49):
there's a whole slew of workup that we'll do, so,
especially in the last couple of years, we can try
to identify molecular markers on a patient specific cancer to
tailor their treatment to that. So we look at it
as a completely overall approach when we talk about an
individual's cancer care. All right, fair enough, now, what treatment
(09:11):
options are available? I mean, there's so many new advancements
in cancer treatments. It's hard for me to keep up
with it. And I know that's your job, and every
day you come to the office or maybe something new,
and that's what we have to evaluate. And that changes
from patient to patient. What the type of cancer is,
what the stage, what the grade are, and what those
molecular markers are, so they can vary from surgery to radiation, chemotherapy,
(09:35):
or to immunotherapy or a combination of all of the other.
We are fortunate enough to have a robust clinical trials program,
so we'll look to see what clinical trials are available
as well.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Well, that's exactly what I was going to ask you about next,
because I was actually looking into clinical trials for the
treatment of my lymphoma when I was the last time
I talked to doctor Patel who's treating me over there.
So you will always have clinical trials going on you
can address that. But also this is something that can
be cured depending upon when you catch.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
It absolutely now. And that's the goal. Is the earlier
the stage, the greater the curates. Right, the more advanced
the stage, the harder those five year survivals come down to.
So we want to get patients in the door quickly.
We want to assess them quickly and get their treatments
started very quickly.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Is there a cervical cancer on the rise.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
The HPV vaccine was on the rise for a long
period of time. That's where we're trying to be more
proactive with the HPV vaccine in decreasing those rates. So
patients that have gotten that vaccine, we've seen tremendous decrease
in the rates of cervical cancer. Unfortunately, worldwide, it's just
not as available understood unprotected intercourse multiple sexual partners it is.
(10:45):
I mean, it's the fourth leading cause of cancer related
death amongst women.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
So, oh, my, doctor g Guby, it's been a real
pleasure talking to me about this. And so folks, if
you want to learn more about OHC and the cancer
treatments they have any kind of cancer, or get a
second opinion, I strongly encourage you to do that. It's
