The primary goal of Gynaecological Cancer Screening is to detect cancers of the female reproductive system at earlier stages. Screening is done to help detect cancers before symptoms appear, thus improving treatment outcomes. Gynaecological Cancers include cancers of the cervix, ovaries, uterus, vulva and vagina.

Early detection is crucial because it significantly improves the chances of successful treatment and recovery. If detected in the early stages, they can be treated effectively.

Some lifestyle factors can increase the risk of developing Gynaecological Cancers. Obesity, smoking, and a poor diet are linked to higher risk of cancer. Women who have never had children or who had children at an older age may be at higher risk for certain cancers (Ovarian and Uterine cancer). Hormonal imbalances or long-term use of hormone therapy may increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
Regular screening is the most effective method of prevention. Pap Smears, HPV Testing, and endometrial biopsies help detect abnormal cells early before they turn into cancerous cells. HPV vaccine is a key tool in preventing cervical cancer. Healthy lifestyle changes can help reduce risk of cancers.

Gynaecological Cancer Screening is a series of tests aimed at detecting early signs of cancer in the female reproductive organs. They are designed to observe abnormal cell changes or infections that could lead to cancer (HPV infection). Screening tests help detect cancer early, before symptoms appear. In India, where a significant number of women are diagnosed at later stages, regular screening can make a huge difference in reducing mortality (deaths) due to these cancers.
Need for Screening Tests depends on the age of the woman, family history and other risk factors. It is advisable for all women to start regular screening in their early 20s and continue till the age of 65, depending on the screening test and previous results. For example, after 30 years of age, it is recommended to get a HPV Test and a Pap Smear every five years. Women with a family history of Gynaecological Cancers may need to undergo more frequent screenings, after discussion with the doctor.

FAQ'S ON #GYNECOLOGICALCANCER
I HAVE NOTICED UNUSAL BLEEDING BETWEEN PERIODS (SPOTTING). SHOULD I BE WORRIED?
Unexplained bleeding between periods or after menopause can be a symptom of several underlying gynaecological conditions. There are many non-cancerous reasons for this symptom, such as hormonal imbalances, fibroids, or polyps. If you notice this symptom, it’s important to consult the doctor, who may recommend an endometrial biopsy or ultrasound to determine the cause.
A Pap smear is a quick and simple test that involves collecting cells from the cervix and checking them for abnormal changes. These changes can be early signs of cervical cancer. This test can detect precancerous changes that often don’t have symptoms, making it an essential preventive measure.
As per current guidelines, Pap Smear Screening should begin at age 21. If the results are normal, you should repeat it every 3 years. After 30 years of age, Pap Smear is to be combined with an HPV test, and to be done every 5 years. If the tests are normal, they can be repeated every 5 years. It can be stopped at age 65, if previous results have come out to be normal.
The HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccine helps develop immunity against the strains of HPV that most commonly cause cervical cancer. It is recommended for girls aged 9–14 years. For women who have been vaccinated, it still does not cover all types of HPV that can cause cancer. Hence, they should continue with regular Pap smears and HPV testing according to the same guidelines.
The HPV (Human Papillomavirus) test looks for the presence of the virus that can lead to cervical cancer. HPV is the primary cause of cervical cancer. Many women may have the virus without any symptoms. The HPV test, combined with the Pap smear, is recommended for all women over 30 years, to be done every 5 years.
Regular gynaecological cancer screening is important even if you don’t have any symptoms. As some cancers develop without showing any symptoms in the early stages. If you are over 21 years, it is important to start cervical cancer screening, even if you feel fully healthy.
