WHAT DOES CERVICAL SCREENING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cervical screening

Cervical screening

Cervical screening is a way of preventing cervical cancer from developing, and diagnosing the disease at an early pre-cancerous stage. In the USA, cervical screening is usually performed using the Pap test, though the UK screening programmes changed the screening method to liquid-based cytology in 2008. Screening tests look for pre-cancerous changes in the cervix that could develop into cervical cancer. If the abnormal tissue or cells can be removed, then the disease can be prevented from developing and causing problems. The tests can also diagnose the disease by identifying cancer cells that are already present.
