Cervical Cancer - Overview Cervical cancer is one of the commonest malignancies in Indian women, approximately one lakh new cases being diagnosed every year in our country. Before cervical cancer appears, the cells of the cervix go through precancerous changes known as dysplasia, in which abnormal cells begin to appear in the cervical tissue. An annual Pap test looks for changes in cervical cells that can lead to cervical cancer. Through increased use of the Pap test, the cervical cancer death rate has greatly declined.
