==Prevention==
'''Avoid being exposed to HPV'''
:*Having sex at an early age
:*Having many sexual partners
:*Having a partner who has had many sex partners
:*Having sex with uncircumcised males
'''Delay sex''': Waiting to have sex until you are older can help you avoid HPV.
'''Use condoms:''' Condoms provide some protection against HPV.
'''Avoidance of smoking:'''Clinical survey show no smoking is another important way to reduce the risk of cervical precancer and cancer.


'''Get vaccinated:''' Vaccines have been developed that can protect women from HPV infections.

Overview

Secondary prevention strategies following cervical cancer are mainly include pap test, HPV DNA test and colposcopy.

Screening

  • The widespread introduction of the Papanicolaou test, or pap smear for cervical cancer screening has been reduced the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer in developed countries. [1]
  • The major advantage of pap smear is its cost effectiveness, also it is easy to perform but the result relies on the quality of sample provided and that is a disadvantage for screening by pap smear.
  • The pap smear suggests the presence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (premalignant changes in the cervix) before a cancer developes, allowing for further workup.[2]
  • New method has been developed to increase the sensitivity of Pap smear and it is called liquid based cytology(LBC), it is less time consuming and reduce the amount of unsatisfactory sample collection from cervix but it is mostly available in high income countries.
  • HPV DNA test can be used as an adjunct to cytology, it distinguishes high-risk HPV types from low-risk HPV types. [3]
  • HPV DNA test is more sensitive in detecting high grade cervical lesion, CIN2 and higher. It is also useful for treatment follow up of women with high grade neoplasia and when the result of cytology is equivocal ( atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance). [4]
  • Colposcopy is another method for screening of target poulation and it provides better view of cervix and vagina and helps in accurate grading. Its main disadvantage are need of experienced personnel and its high cost.[5]
