Cervical cancer is caused by infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV), which can be transmitted through sexual contact. It affects both women and men. The earlier it is detected and treated, the better the chance of survival. Screening for cervical cancer in Singapore can be done by a Pap smear test or by taking DNA samples from cells in the cervix. Both tests are meant to check for abnormal cells that could be signs of cervical cancer.
