Cervical cancer is cancer of the lining of the cervix. According to the Cancer Council, vaccinations against HPV and the National Cervical Screening Program have resulted in a significant decrease in cervical cancer. Some of the most common symptoms of cervical cancer include abnormal vaginal bleeding, painful intercourse, bleeding after menopause and pelvic pain.
According to the Cancer Council persistent infection with some strains of HPV is responsible for almost all cases of cervical cancer. Therefore, if you have an HPV infection, you must seek prompt medical advice and treatment.
Generally, diagnosis of early-stage cancer is usually associated with better outcomes and some patients may even have a normal life expectancy after appropriate treatment. A delayed diagnosis of cancer could have a profound effect on quality of life and could significantly reduce life expectancy.

Yes, cervical cancer can be misdiagnosed if appropriate investigations and tests are not undertaken. Sometimes, those tests are not performed because the treating doctor does not suspect cervical cancer.
A delay in diagnosis of cervical cancer could be caused by the lack of symptoms, which results in a delay in seeking medical attention. Delay may be caused by the treating doctor’s failure to appreciate that the patient’s symptoms could be the result of cervical cancer and not referring the patient for appropriate investigations.
According to the Cancer Council persistent infection with some strains of HPV is responsible for almost all cases of cervical cancer. A failure to diagnose and treat some strains of HPV can result in cervical cancer. Promptly diagnosing and treating HPV infections plays a significant role in prevention of cervical cancer.
