Cervical Cancer Diagnosis
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that affects the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. Diagnosis of cervical cancer is based on medical history, physical examination, imaging tests, and a biopsy of the tumor or abnormal cells. Early diagnosis is key to better treatment outcomes, and regular screening tests, such as pap smears, can help detect pre-cancerous changes in cervix cells before they become cancerous. Treatment for cervical cancer depends on its stage but may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve the chances of successful outcomes and reduce the risk of death from cervical cancer.
