Morning friends,today i would like to stress on the importance of screening programmes for early detection of cervical cancer.Cervical cancer is perhaps the most common female genital tract cancer in the developing countries.Cervical cancer is a very important cause of female cancer related mortality in the developing countries .
The screening test mainly used is the PAP test[papanicolaou test].Other tests are also available like the thin prep test,HPV TEST etc.
In the developed countries the incidence of cervical cancer is far less . They have achieved this by effective screening of cancer cervix by routine use of PAP SMEAR screening test.The screening programme has reduced the incidence & mortality due to carcinoma cervix.
We have to make female individuals leaving in developing countries conscious about the importance of screening of cancer cervix.So, please spread this important issue among others.
The screening should start within three years of onset of vaginal intercourse, but not later than age 21,thereafter continued yearly.There is more to the protocol, but it may be copyrighted ,so i can't post it here.
For further information on this please consult your doctor,or you may visit the WHOINDIA SITE
please spread this knowledge among your friends.
