Cervical Cancer

Cervical Cancer

  Cervical cancer is a disease in which the cells are abnormal cervix grow uncontrollably so urgent and damaging the surrounding tissues can result in death even.

Incidence and mortality high cervical cancer, but when it is detected and treated early, the disease can be cured.

How To Detect Early Cervical Cancer?

By doing a screening:

Pap Smear

Begin checked a minimum of three years after sexual intercourse

HPV-DNA

• Recommended for patients with Pap Smear results are dubious (inconclusive)

• It is recommended to screening in women aged > 30 years along with

examination of Pap smears

Pap Smear

Pap Smear is an examination to see the cells of the cervix where samples taken via the vagina then highly on glass objects, then dyed, then viewed under a microscope.

Liquid-Based Pap Smear

  A new method to improve the accuracy of the detection of abnormalities of the cervical cells. With this method, the samples taken are put into a special fluid so that the cells or factors separable from other bullies. Next sample on the glass object is then highly colored and then viewed under a microscope.

With this method, a layer of cells that are highly selective on glass objects do not overlap so the observation under a microscope becomes clearer and more accurate results, so small abnormalities in cervical cells more easily detected.

HPV-DNA

  The examination for detection of infection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). HPV infection is a major cause of certain types of cervical cancer. This examination is required especially for patients with Pap Smear results there are abnormalities but are inconclusive whether these abnormalities can develop into cancer or be healed. So with HPV-DNA examination can be estimated if abnormalities are found will develop into cervical cancer or not.
