Cervical Cancer: Why Timely Screening is Crucial for Prevention

• India observes National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, yet preventable deaths persist due to late diagnosis.
• Cervical cancer develops silently from HPV infection, with no early symptoms, making screening vital for early detection.
• Hesitation, misconceptions, and fear often delay screening, despite advancements making the process faster and more patient-friendly.
• Regular and consistent screening, not just a single test, is key to effective prevention and better treatment outcomes.
• Early detection allows for simpler treatment and can prevent cancer, preserving health and well-being.

Why It Matters: Timely and consistent cervical cancer screening is essential for early detection, prevention, and better health outcomes.
