Cervical cancer or cervical cancer is the number one killer of women (one) in the world. Noted that in Indonesia, about 20 women per day die of cervical cancer. Whereas if known since the early stages, cervical cancer is one type of cancer the most preventable and curable than other types of cancer.
Cervical cancer is a malignancy of the lowest part of the uterus that is protruding to the top of the burrow copulations (vagina). Abnormal cell changes in the cervix into cancer cells takes about 10-20 years, so that in fact there was a chance for a long time to detect and handle them before they actually become cervical cancer.
A total of 99.7% of cervical cancer cases are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) high risk oncogenic types. Approximately 50% of people who are already sexually active, once in his life been infected with HPV, both men and women. However, women whose first sexual intercourse at a young age (16-21 years old) and have multiple sex partners, a group that is extremely vulnerable and high-risk HPV infection. And, the presence of oncogenic HPV infection of high risk types that persist require attention as a cause of cervical cancer. Here are a group at risk of persistent HPV infection, among others: women aged over 30 years, smokers, people with immune system disorders (such as AIDS), and drinkers steroids (such as in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus).
In the early stages, cervical cancer often do not show typical symptoms or even no symptoms. In line with the development of cancer, can cause symptoms such as bleeding after intercourse, vaginal discharge or watery discharge from the vagina, bleeding after menopause, and come out smelling yellowish liquid and mixed with blood. Unfortunately, when the symptoms appear, recovery rate is very small. In fact, when it can be detected since the early stages, there are still chances of recovery are high.
Although asymptomatic, early-stage cervical cancer can be detected through routine checks the following:
1. PAP SMEAR

Currently available are two methods pap smear, which is the conventional (old method) and a liquid-based cervical cytology (the new method). The new method gives results more clearly, and in a single sample can be used for HPV DNA tests. Liquid-based cervical cytology (SSBC) can be carried out in the Clinical Laboratory Prodia.
2. HPV DNA
