Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet it remains a significant health concern for women. Regular screening and timely intervention can help detect precancerous changes early, ensuring better outcomes.
What is Cervical Cancer?
Cervical cancer develops in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. It is primarily caused by persistent infection with high-risk types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Early stages of cervical cancer often show no symptoms, making regular screening essential. Know more at: World Health Organization: Cervical Cancer Facts
Cervical Cancer Services We Offer
1. Cervical Cancer Screening & Diagnosis
- Pap Smear Test: A simple test that detects abnormal cervical cells before they turn cancerous.
- HPV Test: Identifies high-risk HPV strains responsible for cervical cancer.
- Colposcopy: A detailed examination of the cervix if abnormal Pap smear results are detected.
- Biopsy: If necessary, a cervical biopsy is performed to confirm the presence of precancerous or cancerous cells.
2. HPV Vaccination for Prevention
- The HPV vaccine protects against the most common cancer-causing HPV types.
- Recommended for girls and women between 9 to 45 years of age.
- A crucial step in reducing cervical cancer risk.

3. Treatment and Follow-Up Care

- For confirmed cases: Surgical, radiation, and chemotherapy options (in collaboration with oncology specialists).
Who Should Get Screened for Cervical Cancer?
- Women above 21 years should undergo regular Pap smear tests every 3 years.
- Women above 30 years should get co-testing (Pap smear + HPV test) every 5 years.
- Women with a history of HPV infection, multiple sexual partners, or weakened immunity should have more frequent check-ups.
