through the bloodstream to other parts of the body away from the uterus.
The diagnosis of cervical
cancer is done either with a pap smear test, hybrid capture II test, liquid
based cytology, look electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), colposcopy,
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a positron emission tomography (PET) or
computerized tomography (CT) scan.

cancer by performing the routine pap smear screening and promptly ask for
further diagnostic tests. This will increase the chances of detecting a
