Cervical Cancer Care and Screening at Penn Nalam

Breast, cervical and oral cancers are among the most common cancers in India, together making up about 34% of all cancers. All three can be detected early with reliable screening, and treated successfully when caught in time.

The problem is delay. India accounts for 7.2% of the world’s cancer cases but 8.3% of its cancer deaths. That gap exists because too many cancers are found late.

At Penn Nalam, we want to close that gap, one woman at a time.

Screening That Can Save Your Life

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. Regular screening can find changes in the cervix long before they turn into cancer. A Pap smear is a simple, quick test done in the clinic, and our team makes sure you are comfortable and your privacy is respected throughout.

Screening is recommended for women even when they feel completely well.

A Pap smear takes only a few minutes and is done during a short clinic visit. You do not need to wait for symptoms, but please see a doctor sooner if you notice:

Bleeding between periods, after sex or after menopause
Unusual or foul-smelling vaginal discharge
Pain in the lower abdomen or during sex

Book your screening today. A few minutes now can protect your health for years.
