Cervical cancer, if untreated, can be fatal. It is also the most common type of cancer after breast cancer. It is also 100 per cent preventable if detected in the pre-cancer stage.
While there is a greater level of awareness among Emirati women, expats show a lacklustre attitude ?towards early screening, an Abu Dhabi-based doctor told Khaleej Times.
All you need is a 10-minute pap smear testIt is a known fact that cervical cancer is 100 per cent preventable if detected in the pre-cancer stage. However, women lack awareness about the need for early screening to prevent it from affecting the quality of life. The 10-minute pap smear test costs only Dh190. Talking about other costs, Dr Anju Mary Varughese, obstetrics and gynaecology specialist, Ahalia Hospital, said: "If pap test shows problems then we need to do human pappilomavirus (HVP) testing. This has to be repeated every three years. There are more than 100 types of HVP virus. We need to check for virus and if it's positive then treatment follows. The HVP test costs Dh850 to Dh900. It is not covered in everyone's insurance." 10 breast cancer cases detected Ten cases of malignant breast cancer have been detected during the 7th Pink Caravan breast cancer awareness campaign held in March. |
