Analyzes to Detect Pathology of the Cervix in the Medical Center Osocor Medical

In Ukraine, cervical cancer (CC) kills 6 women every day. The number of reported deaths from cervical cancer is about half of the total number of diagnosed cases. And such a sad statistic is due to the fact that the disease manifests itself in the later stages, when treatment is ineffective.

The main cause of cervical cancer is the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is transmitted through sexual contact. The probability of infection with a single contact with an HPV-infected partner is quite high - about 60%. The danger of HPV infection lies in the further development of atypia of cells affected by the virus, which leads to oncological diseases of the genital organs.

There are a number of factors that provoke the development of human papillomavirus infection (PVI):

• Inflammatory processes of the cervix that can be cured.
• Smoking.
• Early onset of sexual activity (up to 16 years).
• Injuries of the cervix that occurred during childbirth, abortion.

Regular examinations will allow you to timely detect precancerous conditions and cervical cancer in the early stages, when effective treatment is possible:

• The PAP test by liquid cytology (SurePath BD technology), recommended by world cancer experts, allows you to detect changes in the cells of the cervical epithelium at an early stage.
• HPV DNA genotyping allows you to instantly detect 28 HPV genotypes, which is now the maximum number for detection in Ukraine.

The precancerous condition and the initial stage of the disease can proceed without symptoms. Therefore, it is important to undergo laboratory diagnostics in a timely manner. Diagnosis of precancer is an opportunity not to miss the disease and the key to successful treatment! The study is recommended for women at least once a year.
