The best medicine is early detection

Experts are calling for better early detection of cervical cancer, which has become increasingly common among young women in recent years.

The age of women developing cervical cancer has lowered, says Wu Xiaohua, a professor at the Department of Gynecologic Oncology of Shanghai Cancer Hospital affiliated to Fudan University.

"In the past, cervical cancer mainly occurred in people aged 55 and above, but now, people aged between 25 and 45 are also a major group," Wu says.
