What tests should be done for cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, and its incidence rate ranks second among female tumors. About 200,000 women die from this disease every year. So what tests should patients with cervical cancer take? Let's learn about it together.

Including systemic examination and gynecological examination. Gynecological examination can find that the cervical cancer is hard and easy to bleed. Attention should be paid to whether there is vaginal metastasis. Special emphasis should be placed on triple examination (abdominal palpation, vaginal and anal examination) to understand whether there is cancer metastasis behind the uterus and beside the uterus, so as to determine the scope of the lesion and perform clinical staging.

The symptoms of cervical cancer in stage Ib and later stages II are obvious and can be diagnosed through gynecological examination and cervical biopsy.

The symptoms and signs of stage 0 and stage Ia are often not obvious and are easily missed.

The prognosis of stage 0 and stage Ia is much better than that of stage Ib, and early diagnosis should be emphasized.

Early diagnosis methods for cervical cancer:

In case of suspicious cases, such as contact bleeding or severe erosion of the cervix, which cannot be cured after long-term treatment, cervical scraping should be performed to check for tumor cells. If cancer cells or heterogeneous cells are found, cervical biopsy should be performed. This method is often used for screening cervical biopsy during cervical cancer screening.

The iodine test can improve accuracy by taking samples from the unstained area. The sample should include the junction of the cervical squamous and columnar epithelium, and it is best to perform a biopsy at four points, 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock, to prevent missed diagnosis.

Colposcopy can magnify the cervix 16 to 40 times, allowing for a closer look at changes in the cervical epithelium and the junction of the squamous and columnar epithelium. Biopsy under the guidance of a colposcopy can improve accuracy. When the junction of the squamous and columnar epithelium cannot be seen, endocervical canal scraping should be performed and the scrapings should be sent for pathological examination.

Cervical cone biopsy is a conical excision of the cervix. Before the operation, a colposcopy should be performed to determine the location of the lesion, and an iodine test can also be performed. The excised specimen should be serially sectioned to exclude invasive cancer.

The above is some knowledge about cervical cancer examination that I introduced to you. I hope you can pay attention to it. Once you find any abnormal symptoms in your body, please go to the hospital in time. If you still have questions, please consult our online doctor and we will give you detailed answers.
