Cervical cancer risk examination
Please check in advance
The examination is to investigate the absence or presence of the virus that causes cervical cancer, using an HPV test kit.
People who are hesitant about having an examination at a hospital or who do not have time and are unable to go to have a “cervical cell screening” can use the HPV test kit to take the test in a more relaxed environment at home and at their own convenience.
If the test result is positive, a cervical cell screening examination by a doctor will be required.
