Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cervical cancer affects cervix. There are various types of cervical cancer.
These types differentiate only on the basis of tissue.
And for tissue diagnosis, biopsy is must.
Biopsy is also needed to confirm whether it is cancerous growth or benign growth.
So get done biopsy from cervix.
Treatment also differs on type of cervical cervix.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
