Cervical cancer screening is a preventive test used to detect early changes in the cervix that could lead to cancer. It mainly includes the Pap smear and HPV testing, which identify abnormal cells or high-risk HPV infection. Screening is done at regular intervals depending on age and risk factors. It is important because cervical cancer often develops without symptoms in early stages.
