The cervix is a part of the uterus that serves as a passageway between the vagina and uterus. Cervical cancer results when there is abnormal growth of cells in the tissues.

Diagnosis
Routine screening for cervical abnormalities can detect early-stage cancer and precancerous conditions that could progress to invasive disease. This process begins with:
- Pap test also known as Pap smear. Cells are scraped from the cervix and examined under a microscope to check for disease or other problems.
- Cone biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. A large area of the tissue around the cervix is excised for examination.
- Vaccination can prevent HPV, which causes cervical cancer in some cases. The vaccination is the only way to prevent HPV.
Management
- DURING EARLY STAGE:
- Cryotherapy to freeze cancer cells.
- Loop electrosurgical excision uses electricity to kill and remove cells.
- DURING ADVANCED STAGE:
- Surgery to remove cancer tissue.
- Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to kill cancer cells.
When to consult a doctor?
