Today, the risk of cervical cancer has increased the most among women. India has become a cancer hub today. Cancers are increasing very rapidly. The number of top cancer patients is increasing day by day every month. Cervical cancer is a kind of silent killer. Because it is not known at the beginning. And when it is detected, it takes its severe form and spreads to other organs of the body.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Test
The human papillomavirus (HPV) test checks cells for infection with high-risk types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer. The Pap test (also called a Pap test or cervical cytology) collects cervical cells to examine them for changes caused by HPV, which can develop into cervical cancer.

The most important test for cervical cancer screening is the PET test, called a PET smear. In this test, samples are taken from the cells of the cervix. Which is tested in the laboratory. Are the cells of the cervix healthy or not? Is cancer forming somewhere in the cells? In addition, it is also checked whether or not there are risks of cancer in the future?
Both tests can be done in a doctor’s office or clinic. In a Pap test, the doctor uses a plastic or metal instrument to look inside your vagina. This is called a speculum. This helps the doctor examine the vagina and cervix and collect cells and mucus from the cervix and surrounding area. The cells are sent to a lab.
