Cervical Cancer Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential to choosing the best treatment for your type and stage of cervical cancer. Fox Chase has the technology and full range of experience to address cervical conditions from pre-invasive/precancerous cervical lesions to metastatic disease.
If cervical cancer is suspected, initial diagnostic tests may include:
- Physical examination
- Medical history
- Cervical biopsy
- Colposcopy
Imaging tests to determine whether cancer has spread or treatment has been effective include:
- Chest X-ray
- Computed Tomography (CT) scan
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan
Fox Chase Cancer Center radiologists and pathologists specializing in cervical cancer review all available diagnostic tests in order to make an informed diagnosis.
Our Risk Assessment Program also provides thorough risk assessment and genetic counseling to high risk women for the prevention of gynecologic cancers.
