Cancer Screening (women)

Comprehensive screening for early diagnosis of oncological diseases in women. Early diagnosis and early treatment are the most effective way to combat malignant diseases. Screening allows for the detection of precancerous changes at the earliest stages, timely initiation of treatment, and prevention of disease development. The complex is aimed at identifying risks of: - cervical cancer – allows for the detection of, among others, the 14 most clinically significant human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes, including the high-carcinogenic risk genotypes 16/18; - colorectal cancer. Comprehensive screening is recommended for women aged 40 and older for regular check-ups. Liquid-based cytology is a highly informative method, the most accurate and modern screening for the prevention of cervical cancer and the detection of precancerous changes. Advantages of liquid-based cytology: - high informativeness; - probability of detecting pathology at an early stage – 95%; - possibility of running several tests from a single smear (additional tests for human papillomavirus (HPV), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), tumor markers, immunocytochemistry); - fully automated method; - performed on high-tech equipment; recommended by global health organizations (FDA, CAP, American Cancer Society). General recommendations for oncological screening for women. Cervical cancer screening. Gynecological examination – annually from age 18. Cytological screening (liquid-based cytology) – every 3-5 years from age 21 to 69. It is necessary to start 3 years after the onset of sexual activity. Cytological screening (liquid-based cytology + HPV testing) – at least once every 5 years from age 30 to 69* (from age 25 in HPV high-risk groups). From age 65-70, screening can be discontinued if previous examinations have not revealed any pathology. * Recommendation of the World Health Organization (WHO). Colorectal cancer screening: once every 2 years from age 40 to 75.
