Today the risk of cervical cancer has increased the most in women. India has become a hub of cancer these days. Cancer is increasing very fast. Every month the number of breast cancer patients is increasing day by day. Cervical cancer is a kind of silent killer. Because it is not detected in the beginning.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) test
The human papillomavirus (HPV) test checks for infection of cells with high-risk HPV types that can cause cervical cancer. The Pap test (also called a Pap smear or cervical cytology) collects cervical cells to check for changes caused by HPV that could lead to cervical cancer.

Pap Smear
The most important test for screening cervical cancer is the PET test which is called PET smear test. During this test, a sample is taken from the cells of the cervix. Which is tested in the lab. Whether the cells of the cervix are healthy or not. Whether cancer is forming in the cells or not. Along with this, it is also found out whether there are chances of cancer in the future or not?
Both tests can be done in a doctor’s office or clinic. During a Pap test, the doctor uses a plastic or metal instrument called a speculum to look inside your vagina. This helps the doctor examine the vagina and cervix and collect some cells and mucus from the cervix and the area around it. The cells are sent to a laboratory.
