Effective Cancer Screening Tests
Cancer screening tests aim to find cancer early, before it causes symptoms and when it may be easier to treat successfully. Effective screening tests are those that:
- Find cancer early
- Reduce the chance that someone who is screened regularly will die from the cancer
- Have more potential benefits than harms.
This is important as it is one of the first actions taken to prevent disease. Furthermore, patients whose cancer is detected early on possess a higher chance of cured disease, complete recovery, increased quality of life and longevity.
Types of Gynaecological Cancer
-
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix (lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina). Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing most cervical cancer.
You can reduce your risk of developing cervical cancer by the standard screening test for cervical cancer is a Pap smear and receiving a vaccine that protects against HPV infection.
-
Endometrial (uterine) cancer
Often detected at an early stage because it frequently produces abnormal vaginal bleeding. If endometrial cancer is discovered early, removing the uterus surgically often cures endometrial cancer.
-
Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is when abnormal cells in the ovary begin to multiply out of control and form a tumour. If left untreated, the tumour can spread to other parts of the body. This is called metastatic ovarian cancer.
-
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females. It is also a leading cause of cancer deaths among females. Breast cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the breast. Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control. Breast cancer cells usually form a tumour that can often be seen on an x-ray or felt as a lump. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get breast cancer, too.

Biopsy

Pap test and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing
These tests, which can be used both alone and in combination, can lead to both early detection and prevention of cervical cancer.

CA-125 test
This blood test, which is often done together with a transvaginal ultrasound, may be used to try to detect ovarian cancer early, especially in women with an increased risk of the disease.
