Prevention & screening
Gynaecological Cancer Prevention & Screening
Growing incidences of cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancers have increased the cancer burden on women and hence, it is pivotal that women understand the importance of regular screenings and health checks , that help to manage the cancer burden considerably.
Cytecare's department of gynaecological oncology provides screening services for gynaecological cancers including cervical cancer and ovarian cancer. The outcome of gynaecological cancer both in terms of cost as well as survival is better when cancer is diagnosed early. Women in the 21 to 65 years age group, and those who are sexually active, should get regular cancer screening done.
