Cervical screening

Gwen Kaplan, Cancer Information Nurse at Cancer Research UK, says:

" Cervical screening is very important because we can stop cervical cancer from developing in the first place. This is one of the few cancers that is preventable because pre-cancerous cell changes can be picked up before they have a chance to go to a full blown cancer. All women invited for a cervical screening test should make sure they attend.

"If you feel worried or anxious talk to the surgery nurse or GP."
