Pap Smear Test
A Pap test is a test of a sample of cells taken from a woman's cervix or vagina. The test is used to look for changes in the cells of the cervix or vagina that show cancer or conditions that may develop into cancer.
It is the best tool to detect precancerous conditions and hidden, small tumors that may lead to cervical cancer. If detected early, cervical cancer can be cured.
Make sure you get a Pap test to check for cervical cancer every 3 years if you are 21 or older. If you are age 30-65, you can get both a Pap test and HPV test every 5 years.
