Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer

If cervical cancer is suspected through a positive HPV DNA test, pap smear test, or other screening tests, your doctor may examine your cervix thoroughly using the following diagnosis procedures:

  • Colposcopy: Uses a sharp tool to take a small sample of tissue from the cervix
  • Endocervical curettage: Uses a curet or brush to scrape tissue samples from the cervix
  • Electrical wire loop: Uses a thin electrified wire to collect tissue samples, this procedure requires local anesthesia
  • Cone biopsy: Uses tools to sample deeper layers of cervical cells, for further testing, this procedure requires general anesthesia

  • Imaging tests (X-ray, CT, MRI, PET)
