Preventive Oncology Care
Preventive oncology care focuses on the early detection and prevention of cancers related to the female reproductive system, particularly cervical cancer. Regular screening and timely diagnosis play a crucial role in identifying abnormal changes before they develop into serious conditions. Dr. Neelam Singla provides preventive oncology services with modern screening methods and careful evaluation, helping women maintain long-term reproductive health through early intervention and proper medical guidance. Routine check-ups and screening tests help detect potential risks at an early stage. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes and overall women’s health.
PAP Smear
A PAP smear is a simple screening test used to detect abnormal cells in the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer. The test helps identify early cellular changes so that treatment can be provided at the right time. It is a quick and painless procedure that is usually completed within a few minutes. Regular PAP smear screening is recommended for women to monitor cervical health and detect abnormalities early.
LBC HPV
Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) and HPV testing are advanced screening methods used to detect human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and abnormal cervical cells. These tests improve the accuracy of cervical cancer screening and help identify potential risks at an early stage. LBC technology allows clearer examination of cervical cells under a microscope. HPV testing helps detect high-risk virus types that may lead to cervical cancer.
Colposcopy
Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure used to closely examine the cervix when abnormal results are found during screening tests. It allows the doctor to identify suspicious areas and determine if further testing is required. A special instrument called a colposcope is used to view the cervix in detail. This procedure helps guide further treatment decisions if abnormal tissue is detected.
Thermal Ablation
Thermal ablation is a treatment procedure used to remove or destroy abnormal cervical cells. It is commonly recommended for certain pre-cancerous changes detected during screening. The procedure uses controlled heat to treat affected tissue safely. It is a minimally invasive method and usually requires only a short recovery time.
Cervical Biopsy
A cervical biopsy involves taking a small tissue sample from the cervix for laboratory examination. This helps confirm the presence of abnormal or cancerous cells and guides further treatment. The procedure is usually recommended after abnormal screening results. Laboratory analysis of the tissue sample helps determine the exact nature of the condition.
LEEP
LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) is used to remove abnormal cervical tissue using a thin electrical loop. It is commonly performed to treat pre-cancerous cervical changes and prevent them from developing into cancer. The procedure is precise and helps remove abnormal cells while preserving healthy tissue. It also helps reduce the risk of cervical cancer by treating abnormal growth at an early stage.
