Benefits of Cervical Cancer Screening 

Regular cervical cancer screening allows women to detect cancer at an early stage when it is curable. Screening for cervical cancer can also detect abnormal cells that may develop into cancers and doctors can remove these abnormal cells to prevent cancers.  Women with higher risk and who do not attend screening are more likely to develop cancers that are at late stages when it is harder to cure. As cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women, doctors recommend that women undergo regular screening for early detection and prevention of cervical cancer as it lowers the chance of dying from cervical cancer.
