Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in medicine. The tools to detect it early – Pap smears and HPV testing – have existed for decades.

The standard of care requires a thorough, methodical review of everything visible in the image — because the most important finding is often not the one anyone expected.

If missed, they can be fatal.
