In this article, Dr. Sarika Gupta, Senior Consultant and Unit Head of Gynae Surgical Oncology (Unit II) at RGCIRC, emphasizes the preventability of cervical cancer through regular screenings, HPV vaccination, and awareness of symptoms, particularly in pre- and postmenopausal women. Cervical cancer remains a major health concern, with shifting trends like the rise of adenocarcinoma, often harder to detect. The HPV vaccine, most effective when administered between ages 9 and 14, and regular Pap smears up to age 65, are crucial preventive measures. Early detection saves lives.
