Cervical screening is the process of recognizing and expelling abnormal tissue or cells in the cervix before precancerous cervical lesions or cervical malignancy develops. However, both precancerous lesions and early cervical cancers can be dealt with efficiently. Human papillomavirus is the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract and can cause cervical cancer.
According to WHO Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women with an estimated 530,000 new cases in 2012 representing 7.9% of all female cancers. Cervical cancer screening is an essential part of a woman’s routine healthcare which aims at secondary prevention of cervical cancer. There are two types of tests for Cervical Cancer Screening- Cytology-based Screening (Pap test or Pap smear) and HPV Testing.
Pap smear looks for Precancer, abnormal cells on the cervix that may develop into cancer if left untreated along with noncancerous conditions, such as infection and inflammation. HPV test looks for human papillomavirus in cervical cells. However, HPV DNA testing and Visual Inspection are some other screening methods that can be used in low-resource areas in the developing countries. Routine cervical screening helps to diagnose cervical cancer on time i.e. reduced the mortality rate from cervical cancer.
Pap test is recommended for all women between the age of 21 to 65 years old in every three years, and women between 30-65 age recommended to have both Pap and HPV test. This segment dominated the Cervical Cancer Screening market in revenue terms, and the trend is projected to continue throughout the forecast period.
Continuous growth of cancer‘s impact on Public Health is the primary factor that drives the Cervical Cancer Screening Market. The market for Cervical Cancer Screening is also driven by the increase in aging female population with the increase in awareness Programs for Cervical Cancer Screening. Comprehensive approach taken by many organizations to prevent and control Cervical Cancer is also expected to fuel the market revenue for Cervical Cancer Screening over the forecast period.
However, changes in regulatory guidelines for cervical cancer screening, lack of awareness related to cervical cancer protection, an unwillingness of female population to undergo Cervical Cancer Screening and use of HPV vaccination can hamper the growth of the Cervical Cancer Screening market.
