Script Interview Science (extended edition)----

1. What is the cause of cervical cancer?

An infection of HPV, a sexual transmitted disease. Once the virus is in the tissue of the cervix, it is infected cell by cell by cell. In the lapse of years, it can cause cervical cancer.

2. How does it affect the patient?

It depends on the time since there are other factors and infections that can take place. There can be another diseases, for example, AIDS. If you treat only the infection of HPV, you will not have cervical cancer.

3. What are the short term and long term prognosis?

What are the treatment options?

If you find the cancer in an early stage, with a surgery you can resolve the problem but if you make a diagnosis in a late stage, you will need chemotherapy or radiotherapy in order to get an effective treatment.

4. How do you find this disease?

You find the disease with a pap smear. That is the principle study that we do in all patients to find the cancer or pre cancer. We need to do a biopsy of the cervix in order to confirm the disease. The only way that I can tell a patient that they have cervical cancer, is with a biopsy.

5. How does a patient recover from this disease?

What is the difference between early and advanced stage?

When you do only a surgery, obviously it is a big surgery, it can take 5 weeks but if you need another treatment like chemotherapy and radiotherapy it is a long time. This treatments last about 2 to 3 months and then a surveillance is needed.

6. Are there any methods to prevent this disease?

Is there any new way to prevent this disease?

Yes, there are two ways to prevent this disease. The most common one is the pap smear, but now we have vaccines for the HPV virus not the cancer. There is no vaccine for cancer. Its a vaccine that prevents the cancer this is caused by the HPV virus. There are two vaccines in Mexico. One protects from four viruses meanwhile the other one protects from two viruses. We put three doses to the patient and this provides a 95% protection against the virus. Once you have a cancer, there is no way to stop the progression. The only things left are surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

7. What is the survival rate of this disease?

In an early stage, we are talking about 85%-90% alive in 5 years. It only takes a surgery to recover from this disease. Meanwhile, if you are in an advanced stage,like stage 3 or 4, you only have a 50%-60% of being alive in 5 or 10 years.

8. Are you able to have children with this disease?

Yes, of course. Almost 80% of couples that have sexual activity, are at risk of having an HPV virus. There is no proof that you can´t be a mother if you have this virus.

In this stop motion video we explained the two reproductive systems (male and female) and their organs. We explained too how Cervical Cancer works around the female reproductive system primarily affecting the cervix.

Throughout the semester I have learned about what Cervical Cancer is and how I as a women can prevent it and raise awareness. Researching about cervical cancer has also taught me a lot about other sexual conditions, sexual problems I could have, and other things that will help me to think twice.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned a lot of things while doing this project. I have learned all about cervical cancer as well as how to make an infographic, radio campaign, and podcast. I had the opportunity to interview a specialist in this disease and this experience taught me the kind of attitude that you have to have while interviewing someone as well as how to edit . This project has widen my perspective on how information can be transmitted and has also taught me the importance of preventing cervical cancer.

# data[].attributes.body
As the semester passed I learned many things that I really wanted to learn. Like how to make an accurate interview or documental with the right shots and background music. I have learned too about Cervical Cancer, it was a very interesting topic, I liked it because I never got to know it well until know. In science I learned a lot about the different types of systems and those things are very important that we know them because those systems are the base of our life.

Radio Campaign:

We also made three radio adds that have deeper information about what is cervical cancer.

Podcast and Radio ads

We created a radio show were we discussed about cervical cancer and its damages. We invited the audience to take a pap test because it is the only way a person can officially know if they have this cancer

Podcast:

Throughout this project I've learned a lot of things about cervical cancer, but also about digital expression. This project has tough me that it is extremely important to take precaution about all the diseases instead of waiting for them to happen and then fight them. I also learned about the different systems that my body has. This semester also tough me how to do infographics, radio adds, video adds, and podcasts. I learned that the colours you use in advertisements and videos play a really important roll in the whole thing because they also have meanings. This new learnings I will apply them for the rest of my life, to have a healthy and happy life, and also to know how to transmit information in different ways.

Our infographic contains important information about cervical cancer. It explains the causes, risk factors, survival rate, preventing measures and treatment options. We learned a lot about this disease while doing this infographic. The hardest thing about making this infographic was showing this information in a creative and visual way.
