What are the common tests used for diagnosing cervical cancer?

The common tests used for diagnosing cervical cancer include Pap test (Pap smear), HPV test, colposcopy, biopsy (cervical), and imaging tests such as MRI and CT scans. These tests help in detecting abnormal cells, identifying high-risk HPV strains, visual examination of the cervix, confirmation of cancerous cells through biopsy, and staging the extent of the cancer.
