India faces a silent cervical cancer crisis: Every 8 minutes, a woman dies, but HPV vaccine and early screening could prevent it

According to the TOI report, Dr Bhatla noted, "Positive test results shouldn't cause alarm. They only indicate a potential risk. Cervical cancer develops gradually through a precancerous phase and remains preventable and treatable when detected early." The task force anticipates that these new tests will be incorporated into India’s national programme, offering a simplified, cost-effective approach to cancer screening.
