Early Detection

Is early detection important for cervical cancer?

Number 3: 

Detection of cervical cancer.  Early detection of cervical cancer is very important because the treatment options are so effective.  HPV, the virus responsible for most cervical cancer, can cause abnormal changes in the cells of your cervix.  These abnormal cells can slowly develop into cancer.  If these changes are found early, cervical cancer can usually be prevented.  Now that scientists know one of the causes of cervical cancer, studies are underway to find ways of preventing these abnormal changes from progressing to cancer.  If cervical cancer has already developed, early detection allows more treatment options and a higher chance of cure.
