Seminar held on Cervical Cancer Management Strategies



Over 75 doctors from the UAE attended a Continuous Medical Education Seminar (CME) proudly organised by Eastern Biotech & Life Sciences on Management Strategies of Cervical Cancer & Sexually Transmitted Disease.


Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer and cause of death in women worldwide. In the UAE it is on the rise with reported cases tripling in 2005. Worldwide there are an estimated 650 deaths, which is the equivalent of 10 women in the Middle East dying every day. HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is the cause of 99.7% of cervical cancer cases and HPV Genotypes 16 and 18 causes approximately 70% of cervical cancers worldwide. Thus it is important to clearly identify those women at increased risk of developing cervical cancer at an early stage.

The seminar & workshop was held at Rotana Towers Hotel, Dubai on 1st July 2009. It was organised by Eastern Biotech & Life Sciences, supported and sponsored by Dubiotech, Glaxo smithcline & Life Cell International. It was supported by the Ministry of Health, United Arab Emirates and has been formally granted 4.0 CME credit points. Seminar was Chaired by Dr. Marco Baccanti, Executive Director of DuBiotech, Dubai.

The primary objective of the seminar & workshop is to raise awareness of cervical cancer among the clinicians and how it can be prevented. In seminar also discussed by eminent speaker about combination of liquid based cytology using the Digene Hybrid capture 2 techniques and the latest DNA based HPV detection technologies utilised for the prevention of cervical cancer.

“HPV infection is very common in sexually active men and women. It is usually transient and results only in mild cytological abnormalities. About 80 % of women between 19 and 30 years clear this infection within months or years, but in some cases persistent infection of high risk HPV can lead to the development of cervical cancer said Dr. Rihab from Mitera Clinic, Duai.” She discussed on The Need of Clinical Education to Raise an Awareness of HPV Screening and Cervical Cancer Prevention.

Dr. Sanjida from Research Director for Eastern Biotech & Life Sciences raised the issue of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) screening program and enlightens the available high end techniques for other STI such as HIV, HCV, HBV, Chlamydia, HSV1/2, Syphilis, Gonorrhoea etc along with HPV.

The need for additional efforts for detection of cervical cancer and with FDA approved technique was also highlighted by Dr. Dinesh Gupta from National Clinical Reference Laboratory, New Delhi India. Dr. Gupta discussed on Opportunistic Screening for Cervical Precancer Lesions. According to him relevant diagnostic tools for prevention and diagnosis of cervical cancer are already available:
- The traditional PAP smear and its variant, the Liquid Based Cytology for the detection of cervical abnormalities.

- The HPV DNA and which together with cytology tests increases the sensitivity and/or specificity of the cytology exam improving management and follow-up of high risk women.

Vaccination against HPV of young women is now available and also consists in a new powerful weapon against cervical cancer. Dr. Rima AbuOmar from Al Zahra Hospital, Sharjah said Vaccine is the Primary Protection Against Cervical Cancer.

  1. I'm Rachel and I own a herbal Therapy Center. What I am about to share with you is based on actual fact and I am not a socially irresponsible person. I am a woman of character and I believed that we have only one purpose for existing and that is to help our fellow humans. And everyday millions of other people are joining me and waking up to the understanding that love is the only thing that matters in this life.

    For the past 10+ years I have dealt with a lot of people who have come to me asking if herbal remedies will get rid of herpes, usually genital. I always tell people from what I have observed and heard about NATURAL REMEDY and I suggest that they try it for themselves. I have never told anyone that herbal remedy would cure their herpes.

    I have never told anyone this because I have never had any physical proof to back that up... until this day.

    I have always told anyone who would listen the mystical work herbal remedy do for me when ever I'm in depression, I could say that because if it did that for me, it would do the same for anyone else.

    I have also always told people how herbal remedies got my doctor to successfully cured DIABETES, INFERTILITY, CANCERS, PARALYSIS, STDS & INFECTIONS.

    And I tell anyone about how herbal remedy got me off the Lysinopril I was taking for my high blood pressure That also normalized within 2months. And I am thankful it did because Lysinopril has since been recalled for turning the livers of hundreds of thousands of people into mush!

    And with all the good things herbal remedy has done for my body, I still resisted the urge to tell anyone suffering with herpes that herbal remedy would cure them... but now I am here to tell you differently because I finally came in contact with Dr Utu an African Traditional Herbal Practitioner.

    Few days ago I received an email from a young lady and she told me that her doctor has told her that her body is 100% free of any HSV virus. That her herpes has been cured! I could feel her bouncing off the walls through her email... and my heart was just as happy for her.

    I have asked her to please post a comment on my YouTube Channel.

    I don't know how long she had been infected before she purchased Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal Cure and I do not know anything about the severity of her outbreaks. All I know was that she promised me that she was following the guidelines that Dr Utu gave her to the letter.

    I know there are a lot of people who will think this is too good to be true... but I have always believed that herbal remedy was a viable cure for herpes - but without any proof I felt it would be seriously irresponsible to tell anyone that it would.

    Please feel free to leave a comment to me but please no negative ones. My company is my life and I have spent over 10 years nurturing a good reputation for myself and my business. I am putting everything on the line here, so please bear with me until we know more.

    Why am I risking so much? Why don't I just wait for her? - Are you serious? This is the BIGGEST health breakthrough in my entire lifetime! I'm over 60 and there have been NO CURES for anything since the day I was born! The big pharmaceutical companies all know there is no money in a cure. The money is in teaching you and me to 'live with' and 'manage' deadly, body-wasting and disgusting diseases for our entire lives.

    Imagine the joy all over the world when her story breaks! I invite you all to share in that joy with her and with me.

    You can also contact Dr Utu for yourself via e-mail; (d r u t u h e r b a l c u r e @ g m a i l . c o m)
