Every women above 30 years of age or who has been engaged in sexual activity for more than 5 years irrespective of marital status should have an HPV-HC2 test and Liquid based Cytology (LBC) and Colposcopy when indicated to rule out getting cancer in the next few years. Cervical cancer kills one woman every 8 minutes in India and 27% of all cervical cancer deaths occur in India according to Globocan. That means every 4th woman dying of cervical cancer is an Indian. The tragedy is that cervical cancer is completely preventible as per World Health Organization. Primary prevention is by vaccinating adolescent girls against HPV and secondary prevention is by screening and treatment of any pre-cancer or CIN found during screening.
Colposcopy prevents cervical cancer by accurately screening for pre-cancerous lesions, also termed dysplasia or CIN and also treating them. Thus it is an effective, and also cost effective tool in the prevention of cervical cancer.
