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[1]. The development of a quadrivalent HPV recombinant prophylactic vaccine represents the first time in history that primary prevention of gynaecological cancers is offered to girls and women[1].
Regular gynecological examinations
- Pap test
- Treatment of precancerous abnormalities
