Can a cervical cancer screening test detect cancer directly?

Cervical cancer screening is a prompt and supportive tool for the diagnosis of cervical cancer. It is only one of the tests in the screening program, and only serves as a reminder of the results and a triage of tests, and is not capable of making a definitive diagnosis. The true diagnosis of cervical cancer requires a biopsy of the cervix to make the final diagnosis. That is to say, cervical biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing cervical cancer, and screening is only a physical examination program, which cannot make a definite diagnosis of the disease. When cervical cancer testing is done on a large scale, attention should be paid to those with abnormal test results, and further testing should be done for the next triage. For patients who have no problem with the screening results, they can have regular cervical cancer screening.
