Popis: Rak dojke je najčešći zloćudni tumor u žena. Tipičan je bezbolan čvor u dojci. Žena ga može sama napipati tijekom samokontrole, zbog čega je samopregled dojke iznimno bitan. U Republici Hrvatskoj godišnje oboli oko 2500 žena. Neki od čimbenika rizika za nastanak karcinoma dojke su: pozitivna obiteljska anamneza, zračenje, oralni kontraceptivi, hormonska nadomjesna terapija. Zbog sve češćih oboljenja rak dojke je postao javnozdravstveni problem. Kod raka dojke vrlo je bitno rano otkrivanje. Zbog toga je osnovan Nacionalni program ranog otkrivanja raka dojke, koji potiče žene da redovito odlaze na mamografske preglede. Rak vrata maternice najčešći je zloćudni tumor ženskih spolnih organa. U RH godišnje oboli više od 1000 žena. Uzročnik raka vrata maternice je HPV virus koji je nađen u 95% tumora cerviksa. Jedini način otkrivanja zaraze HPV-om i otkrivanje raka vrata maternice je PAPA- test. PAPA test je bris vrata maternice koji se provodi na ginekološkom pregledu. Rizični čimbenici za nastanak raka vrata maternice je rani spolni odnos, spolni odnos bez zaštite, loša genitalna higijena, herpes itd. Također imamo Nacionalni program za rano otkrivanje raka vrata maternice koji potiče žene na odlazak na redovite ginekološke preglede i na obavljanje redovitog PAPAtesta. Medicinska sestra ima iznimno važnu ulogu kao edukator i promotor zdravih životnih stilova. Najčešće je medicinska sestra prva osoba kojoj se žene obrate za pomoć te mora biti spremna dati im savjet te pokazati empatiju za njihove probleme. Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. It is a typical painless node in breast. Woman can feel it during self-exam, which is why breast self-exam is extremely important. In Croatia about 2500 women a year become ill. Some of the risk factors for development of breast cancer are: a family history of breast cancer, radiation exposure, oral contraceptives, hormonal replacement therapy. Because of the more common diseases breast cancer has become a public health problem. For breast cancer earlier detection is very important. Because of that the National program for early detection of a breast cancer was established, which encourages women to regulary go to mammographic screenings. Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor of female genitals. In Croatia more than 1000 women a year become ill. Cervial cancer is caused by HPV virus which is found in 95% cervical cancers. The only way to detect infection with HPV virus and detection of cervical cancer is PAPA test. PAPA test is a swab of cervix that is preformed during a gynecological examination. The risk factors for development of cervical cancer is early sexual activity, sexual intercourse without protection, poor genital hygiene, herpes etc. We also have a National program for early detection of a cervical cancer, which encourages women to regulary go to gynecological examination and have a regular PAPA test preformed. The nurse has an extremely important role as an educator and a promoter of healthy lifestyles. Usually the nurse is the first person from whom the women seel help and she must be prepared to give them advice and to show them empathy for their problems.
