Cancer Screening

Cancer Screening at MOM9

The goal of screening is simple: catch problems early, often before symptoms appear. For women’s health, cervical cancer screening is one of the most important routine screenings.

Cervical Cancer Screening (Pap / HPV)

Depending on age and risk profile, cervical screening may involve:

• HPV testing
• Pap test (cervical cytology)
• HPV + Pap (co-testing)

Global guidance increasingly supports HPV testing as a high-performance screening option, with screening intervals depending on age and risk factors.

Who Should Get Screened?

Screening timelines vary across guidelines and individual risk (age, immune status, prior results, etc.). Your doctor will recommend what’s right for you, based on current best practices.

When Screening Becomes Diagnostic

If you have symptoms like abnormal bleeding (especially after sex or after menopause), unusual discharge, or persistent pelvic pain — the approach shifts from “screening” to evaluation.

FAQ
Q. If I took the HPV vaccine, do I still need screening?

Often yes — vaccination reduces risk, but screening is still recommended in most guidelines.
