In modern life, cancer is a disease that anyone can get. However, for women, the difference in body structure as well as physiological characteristics, life pressure... makes them face more risks of cancer, especially breast cancer and cervical cancer.

These are the two most common cancers and the leading cause of death among women in many industrialized countries. However, most women still have a subjective mentality or fear and worry about the disease without being aware of regular health screening.

According to medical experts, early detection of cancer through screening in normal women has clearly changed the natural history of the disease as well as significantly improved the prognosis.
