1. Introduction
1.1 Anatomy, Histology and Normal Changes in Cervical Epithelium
The cervix is the caudal part of the uterus that protrude to the vagina part. Cervical
have 2.5-3 cm in length and form a third length of the uterus. The boundary between the
uterine Cervix is a fibromuscular junction nown as internal ostium and cervical canal
associated with the vaginal opening at the esternal ostium. The cervical canal has a
maximum diameter of !-" mm# 3 cm in length# and a flat shape from anterior to
posterior.$#2
%osisition of
Cervical maintained by several
ligaments# which is
the broad ligament# the uterosacral ligament and cardinal
ligaments. &road ligament divides the pelvic cavity into the anterior and posterior. 'terosacral
ligament forming the lateral edge of the pouch of (ouglas. The structure of the ligament# mainly#
composed of fibrous tissue and mostly composed of smooth muscle tissue containing nerves#
blood vessels and lymph vessels. The ligaments maintain the normal position of the cervix and
uterus into anteflexion posisition. $#3

The arterial systems derived from decending branches of the uterus# toward the lateral wall
through the paracervical ligament. The vessels are derived from internal iliac artery. The main
braches of this artery anastomoses with vaginal artery and forming vascular bed that surrounding
the cervix. The lymph vessels in the cervical tissue lie beneath the surface epithelium and
surrounds the endocervical gland. (rainage of cervical lymph will be drained to hypogastric
lymph nodes located in the internal iliac and paraaorta branch. Cervical nerves that innervate the
system comes from the superior# middle# and inferior hypogastric plexus a cervical autonomous
systems. )erve supply was limited to the endocervical part. $#3
*t the end of the growth and development of the fetus# cylindrical epithelium lining the
mullerian duct will be cover the uterine cavity and extends to cervical canal part. The cylindrical
epithelium will join s+uamous epithelium derived from the vagina and form a s+uamocolumnar
junction ,C/.

The area of this transformation occurs with the physiological process called metaplasia.
+uamous metaplasia is a dynamic physiological process# which is columnar epithelium is
replaced by s+uamous epithelium and tae place within a few days or wees. The most rapid
metaplasia occurs durring puberty and pregnancy. These changes lead to instability in the region
that often develop into cervical neoplasia in the area. Cervical epithelium at puberty and
adulthood consists of three types# which is s+uamous or columnar epithelium# epithelial
s+uamous metaplasia# and epithelial atypia# some of which have a malignant potential.!

The cervical cancer occur is closely related with metaplasia process. The entry of agent or
substances that can alter the genetic properties of the cell during the active phase metaplasia can
cause potentially malignant cells and these changes usually occur in the transformation 7one.6#

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women# and the seventh overall#
with estimated 52"#999 new cases in 29$2. There were an estimated 266#999 deaths from
cervical cancer worldwide in 29$2. n outheast *sia there are $!5#999 new cases with a
mortality rate of :1#999 in 29$2."
Cervical cancer is still become a problem in developing countries# including ndonesia
because the incidence is still high. 0very year found 1!$#999 cases and 233#999 deaths

Cervical cancer is also the second cause of death in women ,after breast cancer/# with
high mortality ,5:;/ in developing countries# including ndonesia. The high incidence of
these diseases in developing countries due to a lot of ris factors and lac of effort for early
detection of cervical cancer# conse+uently patients usually arrive on advanced stage
