What is Lymphoma of the Cervix?

Lymphoma of the cervix or cervical lymphoma is a rare type of malignant tumour that originates from the cervix in females. It is a very rare type of tumour and accounts for approximately less than 1% of all lymphomas of the cervix. It usually develops in middle age females between the ages of 40-59 years.

Disease Causes

There is no well-known cause.

What is Cervix?

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus; it is cylinder-shaped and connects the uterus with the vagina in the female body.

Signs and Symptoms

The common signs and symptoms are:
  • Bleeding from the vagina after sexual intercourse
  • Abnormal bleeding from the vagina between the two menstrual cycles
  • Pain in the pelvic region or lower part of the abdomen during the sexual intercourse
  • Pain while passing urine
  • Pain during sex
  • Pain in the back

Diagnosis

Following diagnostic tests and procedures can be used to make the diagnosis. These are
  • Complete blood count ( CBC)
  • Serum tumour markers
  • Pap smear
  • Imaging techniques like ultrasonography (USG), CT-scan, MRI, and X-Ray to detect the site, size, and extent of the tumour.
  • Pelvic examination through per-speculum examination of the vagina, cervix, and ovaries. A speculum is a gynecological instrument used to visualize the vaginal wall, cervix, uterus, and ovaries to detect any abnormality.

Treatment

Surgery is the most common and effective treatment for cervical lymphoma. Other treatment options are not well-defined due to the rarity of the disease.

What Support can we Give for Lymphoma of the Cervix?

Lymphoma of the Cervix is rare cancer, meaning it is not as well known as other forms of cancer. Without a Ribbon is an Australian organisation that provides support for individuals who suffer from rare cancers. So, we provide a designated platform for Warriors to obtain information specific to their Rare Cancer. We also provide annual opportunities for our Warriors to meet and learn from each other. If you suffer from rare cancer such as Lymphoma of the Cervix, we can help and support you through your journey thanks to the generous donations we receive.
