Women’s College Hospital is a world leader in women’s health and cancer prevention. The hospital has expanded its Colposcopy with the relocation of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre’s colposcopy activities to Women’s College Hospital. This has created a regional Centre of Excellence in Colposcopy Care.  The program is being led by Dr. Amanda Selk,  a leading gynecologist.

Colposcopy is a diagnostic procedure allowing close examination of the cervix, vagina, and vulva for signs of disease and usually is required after an abnormal screen (Pap) test or other observed abnormalities. Comprehensive colposcopy services are provided to educate patients regarding abnormal Pap tests, investigate these abnormalities, and treat cervical dysplasia.
