Gynecological cancers or women’s cancers are largely preventable if screened early. This was stated by Dr Amita Nathani and Dr Leena Dadhwal, two gynecology experts from Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre, Nitibagh South Delhi.  The two doctors were speaking at a conclave attended by Moradabad based gynecologists in large numbers.

The conclave was organised by Moradabad Obstetrics Gynecological Society (MOGS), Moradabad. Dr Leena Chauhan, Dr Saba Asad and Dr Shazia Monis, President, Hony Secretary and Treasurer of MOGS presided over the function.

Speaking on cervical cancer, Dr Amita Naithani, Consultant — Gynae Oncology, RGCIRC argued in favour of early screening of cervical cancer which can be easily tested by a simple PAP Smear test. It can even be detected in the pre-cancerous stage thus preventing the development of cancer. Cervical cancer, though most prevalent amongst women in rural India is one of the most preventable cancers,” she said.

Regarding the treatment, Dr Amita Naithani said: “In 80 per cent of the cases, cervical cancer is caused by HPV virus infection for which vaccine is available.   Between nine-14 years of age, vaccine can be given in the form of two injections and between 14 to 26 years of age, three injection need to be given.” 

Cervical vaccine programme has been introduced in several states in the country including Sikkim and Punjab.  School girls are going to get vaccinated under this programme.
