Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer

The development of cervical cancer is gradual and begins as a pre-cancerous condition called dysplasia. It is usually a slow-growing cancer and if caught early can be successfully treated. Routine Pap smears can detect early changes in the cells of the cervix, allowing cervical cancer to be diagnosed early.
