Description
Of all the cancers women can get, cervical cancer is the second most common - breast cancer is the first - yet provided it is detected early enough, it is totally and completely curable. Using and explaining the words used by doctors, the authors show why the cervix is especially susceptible to cancer, how cancer lodges and develops in the body and why it is in every woman's interest to have regular and frequent smear tests. They also explain what a smear and colposcopy are and what they show, as well as details of treatments available and their effectiveness in cases where the test proves positive.
