The medical checkup should include a <strong>Pap test to find possible changes in cervical cells that are precursors to cancer<\/strong>. This test allows the specialist to detect early lesions that might promote or indicate the presence of the disease, and <strong>timely diagnose cervical cancer in an early stage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Corres Molina said that <strong>in addition to Pap test, a HPV (human papillomavirus) test can be performed in women over 30 years<\/strong>; both tests are done at the same time. HPV test helps to know more precisely if there is risk of cervical cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, women should undergo <strong>mammogram from age 40 each year<\/strong>, if first-line relatives such as aunts, sisters or mothers have developed breast cancer. From 50 years all women have to take the test yearly regardless of whether there are or not risk factors.<\/p>\n<p>He added that <strong>mammograms<\/strong> do not prevent cancer, but <strong>allow diagnosing tumors in early stages<\/strong>. Through mammograms, for example, nodules smaller than a centimeter can be detected, which would not be distinguishable to the touch and thus they would not be detectable through self-examination or clinical review.<\/p>\n<p>It is common that women have an excuse for not realizing this type of study, because they often fear the result, he said. However, it is important to emphasize that if patient has no symptoms, the most probable is to obtain a negative result; but if it is positive, the chances of cure are higher.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <em>Notimex<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As recommended by Dr. Miguel Corres Molina, an expert in gynecologic oncology at the Juarez Hospital, facility belonging to the Ministry of Health, women should seek medical checkups annually to prevent breast and cervical cancers.
