As medicine goes forward, new ways to prevent and cure diseases are constantly found. However, cancer still remains a disease that has no cure.
In this article, we are going to talk about the cervical cancer, which until the PAP test was discovered in the 40’s of the previous century, was the main cause of death among female population.
The PAP test is a world-famous simple test, that collects cells from the cervix, which are further analyzed in laboratories. This test has shown astonishing accuracy and has helped more than 60% of women who had cervical cancer all over the world!
So, cervical cancer can be prevented, found and cured with regular check-ups and doing a PAP test every year. “Because it usually takes several years for normal cells in the cervix to turn into cancer cells, it’s imperative to get regular screenings, either with a Pap test or HPV test (or both)”.
The HPV virus, which spreads mostly through s*xual intercourse, is one of the main reasons for cervical cancer. Statistics show that it more common to happen to midlife women instead of young adolescent girls.
