Endocervical scraping is primarily used for cervical cancer screening. Cells shed from the cervix are collected and then examined under a microscope for morphological abnormalities to determine whether cellular changes or malignant transformation are present. Cervical screening enables early detection of precancerous cervical lesions, playing a crucial role in disease prevention and treatment. Women are advised to undergo regular physical examinations.
