Prevention saves lives. With the primary goal of eliminating cases caused by the HPV virus, the Ministry of Health has included free preventive screening for cervical cancer in the “PROLAMVANO” National Program. (testpap.gov.gr).

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide and the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the global female population. Today, the State proactively reaches out to citizens, offering completely free preventive exams, without any hassle.

Eurodiagnosi, actively participating in the national prevention network, invites you to take advantage of this crucial benefit. Early diagnosis detects the HPV virus and precancerous lesions before the disease even develops.

Why is preventive screening imperative?

Initially, we must understand that the HPV virus is extremely common. Therefore, the majority of sexually active men and women will come into contact with the virus at some point in their lives. However, this does not mean that every exposure leads to disease.

Specifically, the immune system usually fights off the virus. Additionally, if the virus remains in the body, it can cause cellular changes in the cervix. Consequently, the value of the PROLAMVANO National Program is immense, as with the specialized HPV-DNA TEST sampling and analysis, we detect these changes long before they turn into malignancy.

Ultimately, the combination of HPV vaccination at a young age (which is fully reimbursed by EOPYY) and regular free preventive screening at Eurodiagnosi constitutes the ultimate shield of protection for women’s health.
