Cervical Cancer Screening

Pap smear and HPV testing for early cervical cancer detection

Cervical cancer is preventable with regular screening. Our cervical screening service combines liquid-based cytology (Pap smear) with high-risk HPV testing — providing the most sensitive early-detection approach available, with same-clinic colposcopy for abnormal results.

Regular screening every 3–5 years (depending on test type and results) enables early identification of pre-cancerous changes before they progress to invasive cancer, offering a genuine opportunity for prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Pap smear if I've had the HPV vaccine?

Yes — the HPV vaccine protects against the most common cancer-causing strains but not all; regular screening remains essential.

How often should I have cervical screening?

Every 3 years with cytology alone, or every 5 years with combined HPV and cytology co-testing; frequency may increase for abnormal results.
