About inspection method

(1) Cervical cancer screening

[Test items]: Interview, visual examination, cytopathology, pelvic examination
(only those who are deemed necessary by the interview results of individual examination may perform body cancer screening) Cytopathology is performed
on the surface of the cervix. It is a test to examine cells by scraping with a cotton swab or brush. It can be painful and bleeding as it is rubbed firmly with an instrument. Some people have a small amount of bleeding after the examination, but don’t worry.
* Because the cells of the endometrium are removed in the body cancer screening, it may be accompanied by pain at the time of the screening and bleeding for about 1 to 2 days after the screening.

(2) Breast cancer screening

[Examination items]: Interview, physical examination (individual examination only, performed when necessary), mammography (X-ray photography for breast only)
Mammography presses the breast with an X-ray device and takes a picture to the back. It is possible to detect even small lumps that cannot be touched by the hands, which is effective for early detection of breast cancer. Therefore, please note that it may be painful when shooting.
