Various methods have been used for screening out of which pap smear is one of the most commonly used methods. Other methods are VIA, VILI, colposcopy and biopsy. Colposcopy increases the early diagnosis of cervical cancer by visualisation under high magnification and also by taking biopsy from suspected area in the same seating.
