InvitationProtect yourself from Cervical Cancer!

Please have cervical smears regularly and regist er

w it h t he Cervical Screening Programme of t he

Department of Health.

Cervical CancerDisease Burden of Cervical Cancer

in Hong KongCervical cancer was the fourth most common

cancer among females in Hong Kong in 2003.There were 408 new cases, accounting for 4.3%

of all new cancer cases in f emales. The median

age at diagnosiswas50. The chance of developing

cervical cancer in the l ifetime was 1 in 112.

Cervical cancer was the eighth most commoncause of cancer deaths among f emales in 2004.

There were 128 deaths, accounting for 2.8% of

all cancer deat hs in f emales.

Prevention of Cervical CancerRisk factorsfor cervical cancer include infection with

human p apillomavirus (HPV), sexual act ivit y at an

early age, having mult iple sexual part ners, smoking

and the lack of vegetablesand fruitsin diet. Cervical

cancer is prevented primarily by cont roll ing t he risk

f act ors w it h measures such as pract ising safer sex,

avoiding smoking and adopting healthy lifestyle.

Scientif ic evidence has demonstrated that organized

population-based screening is very effective in

reducing cervical cancer incidence and deaths.

Screening of Cervical CancerCervical cancer is usually preceded by abnormalchangesin the cervical cellswhich can occur without

any sympt oms or pain. Cervical smear is a screening

test that could detect these abnormal cellular

changesin t he cervix. Wit h early det ect ion, promptand proper management, such lesion would be

prevented from developing into cervical cancer.

Diagram show ing how a cervical smear is t aken

Cervical SmearIt is a very safe and simple t est t hat only t akes a

few minutes. The doctor or nurse will use a special

instrument called speculum to gently open the

vagin a so t hat t he cervix can be seen. A slim

spatula or a small brush is then used t o w ipe some

cells f rom t he cervix. The cells are t ransf erred

ont o a glass slide or int o a bot t le of preservative

fluid, and sent to the laboratory for examination.

The test should not hurt; if it does, tell the doctor

or nurse.

Persons Who Need Cervical Smear All w omen aged 25-64 years w ho have ever had

sexual experience, irrespective of whether being

single or married, or whether having reached

menopause or not, are recommended to have

regular smears. Even if one has had no sexual

experience f or a long t ime or had st erilizat ion,

cervical smear is st il l needed.

Women aged 65 years or above, w ho have had

sexual experience, should seek doct ors advice on

having a cervical smear if they have never had

one befor e.

Women below the age of 25 who have had sexual

experience and have risk factors for cervical cancer,

such as smoking, mult iple sexual partners,

decreased body resistance, could seek medical

advice from doctors concerning the need for cervical

smear. Women who have never had sexual experience

or who have had total hysterectomy do not need

cervical smear.

A posit ive result means abno rmal cells are

det ect ed. How ever, it does not necessarily mean

t hat t here is cancer. M ost of t he ti me, it means

some minor changes and only needs foll ow -up

o b se r vat i o n s b y d o ct o r. So m e t i m e s f u r t h e r

investigationsmay be required to see if the changes

are serious or not . Women should discuss t he

management plan w it h t heir doct or.

A f alse negat ive result means t hat abnormalit y

in t he cervix is not detect ed by t he test . It could be

due t o sampling, transf er or laboratory error. Since

it t akes a long t ime f or cervical cancer t o develop,

having regular smears can detect those abnormalit ies

t hat may be missed by a single smear.

A false posit ive result means t hat t he t est result

is abnormal, but no abnormality is detect ed on

subsequent invest igations. Since some lesions regress

completely, or are very local, or small, they can

hardly be detected in fol low up tests. Further

examinat ions or repeated smears can assure t hat

the woman isnot harbouring an abnormality.

Screening IntervalThe screening interval can follow the sequence

of : 1year, 1 year, 3 years, 3 years and so on. That

is, if t he first 2 annual cervical smears show normal

result s, repeat smears every 3 years. If t here is

any problem, such as vaginal bleeding or pain,

don t w ait unt il t he next cervical smear. See a

doctor straight away, even if the recent cervical

smear w as normal. Besides, some women may

need more f requent screening. Doct ors w ill

make recommendationsaccording to the clinical

situation.

Result s of Cervical SmearThe dif f erent t ypes of cervical smear result s are

asfollows:

A negat ive result means no abnormal cells are

detect ed. The woman has a much low er risk of

harbouring cancerous changes in the cervix whencompared t o t he unscreened populat ion.

No worry when start with 2 annual

smears, peace of mind when have

it every 3 years af t erw ards
