Gynecological cancer cell examination is a very important examination, which can determine whether a woman has cancer cells and whether it has developed into cancer. Many people know the importance of gynecological cancer cell testing, but they do not know what tests are needed for cancer cell testing. This article will introduce what gynecological cancer cell examination is called.
What is gynecological cancer cell screening called
Gynecological inflammation requires routine vaginal discharge and gynecological examination, as well as electronic vaginal colposcopy, to be diagnosed. TCT is a method of excluding cancer.
How to check and diagnose the four major cancers
1. Endometrial cancer
It is recommended to undergo ultrasound and endometrial examination every 1-2 years after the age of 35.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding is a typical signal of endometrial cancer, especially in postmenopausal women who suddenly resume menstruation. The main manifestation is continuous or intermittent vaginal bleeding, with varying amounts and generally not significant bleeding.
2. Cervical cancer
Women who have had sexual intercourse for three years or are over 21 years old should undergo HPV+TT testing once a year. If both tests are negative for three consecutive years, it can be changed to once every three years.
Early cervical cancer appears no different from normal to the naked eye, so we usually adopt the method of cervical scraping examination. We use a brush to take some cells from the cervix, and then make slices to be examined under a microscope. If any abnormal phenomena are found through cytological screening, we will proceed with further diagnosis and treatment. Early cervical cancer can achieve a 5-year survival rate of over 80% through active treatment.
3. Ovarian cancer
Perform vaginal ultrasound and tumor marker CA125/HE4 once a year.
Ovarian cancer is a highly malignant gynecological tumor, often found in advanced stages, and therefore ranks first in the mortality rate of gynecological cancer, making it the true king of gynecological cancer. The 5-year survival rate after treatment for early-stage ovarian cancer (stage I) can reach 80-90%, but once it reaches advanced stages (stage III, IV), it rapidly decreases to 30-40% or even lower. Because ovarian cancer has no symptoms in its early stages, early detection is difficult.
4. Breast cancer
Annual physical examination, pay attention to breast self-examination in daily life, and promptly go to the hospital for examination if any abnormalities are found.
The breast is quite special because it is closer to the surface of the human body. If lumps or nodules are found, further examination is needed to clarify the nature of the lumps or nodules. Some women may experience symptoms such as breast swelling and pain during their menstrual period, which may be related to breast hyperplasia. If the nature of breast symptoms cannot be determined through self-examination, it is necessary to seek relevant examinations at the hospital to determine whether intervention and treatment are needed.
This article provides a detailed introduction to the gynecological cancer cell examination, as well as the examination methods for the four major cancers. As a woman with cancer cells in her body, it is best to undergo timely cancer cell testing so that your cancer cells can be detected as early as possible and timely measures can be taken for treatment.
