A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING TECHNIQUES

A Practical Approach to Cervical Cancer Screening Techniques assists postgraduate trainees and practising gynaecologists in the prevention of cervical carcinoma by guiding them through screening methods for detecting pre-invasive lesions. This book is comprised of 17 chapters which emphasise the need for cervical screening to prevent invasive carcinoma, by diagnosing and treating women with high-grade cervical lesions. The major factors in the occurrence of cervical cancer, such as active metaplasia in the transformation zone, exposure to oncogen, and immune status of the individual are explained in detail. The criteria for a screening test and the various screening techniques available for cervical cancer, such as pap smear, liquid-based cytology, HPV testing, polar probe, laser-induced fluorescence, speculoscopy and cervicography are also discussed. Colposcopy and the use of polarprob, the portable optoelectronic instrument that detects the existence of cervical cancer and precancer, are also described clearly in this concise guide to cervical cancer screening.
