Cancer cervical diagnostic test : information and documentation from ECCA

A Pap smear is the most common diagnostic test for cervical cancer that can detect pre-cancerous and cancerous cells on the cervix.

Frequent Pap smears and careful medical follow-up (with treatment if necessary) can help ensure that pre-cancerous cells in the cervix caused by HPV infection do not develop into life-threatening cervical cancer. The Pap test is responsible for greatly reducing deaths from cervical cancer.

Why is it essential to do diagnostic tests for cervical cancer?

Getting regular diagnostic test for cervical cancer can substantially decrease the chances of getting cervical cancer. Even if you develop cervical cancer, the chances of a cure are as high as 90 percent — if discovered early. The Pap smear is the best tool to detect cervical cancer in its earliest stages.
