Cervical cancer sign : informations and documentation from ECCA

There are no obvious cervical cancer signs. It tends to grow slowly over time. That is why getting a Pap smear every year is so important.

A pap smear test, a medical screening method used to detect changes in the cervix, indicates the presence of cervical cancer or other changes, and can find cells on the cervix that may be changing or be early signs of cancer. The assessment of symptoms and signs is important during treatment with medications, in order to determine the effectiveness of treatment and the development of side effects.
