What is the Importance of colposcopy?
Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide especially in developing countries due to the lack of screening but it is considered a preventable type of cancer as Regular cervical screening tests like pap smears , colposcopies and biopsies regularly done in developed countries have markedly increased the amount of cases that are diagnosed early in the precancerous stage making it easier to treat them and lowered the amount of women who present later on with advanced cancers and metastases that require more intensive treatment and have higher morbidity and mortality rates.
