Physical examination

  • Precancerous changes of the cervix and early stage cervical cancer,physical examination findings can be normal. Special tests and tools are needed to spot such conditions:
  • A Pap smear is used for screening precancers and cervical cancer, but final diagnosis cannot be made.
  • The human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test may be done along with a pap test. Or it may be used after a woman has had an abnormal Pap test result. It may also be used as a main test.
  • If abnormal changes are found, the cervix is usually examined using colposcope.cervical biopsy can be taken form tissue and examined.
