Colposcopy can detect cervical cancer, and colposcopy combined with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing cervical cancer.
Colposcopy plays a positive role in diagnosing precancerous lesions or early tumors of the uterine cervix, determining the location of the tumor, and provides an important reference for biopsy. Meanwhile, if colposcopy finds squamous epithelial hyperplasia in the cervical canal and atypical glandular cells are seen in cytology, further cervical curettage pathology examination is needed.
Histopathologic biopsy of the cervix by colposcopy is the best criterion for the diagnosis of cervical cancer and other lesions. For rare and difficult pathological types such as cervical adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma, immunohistochemistry can be added on the basis of colposcopic histopathological biopsy to provide supportive help for disease identification and diagnosis.
When cervical cancer is suspected, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for early diagnosis and treatment in order to obtain a better prognosis.
