What is a Pap test/cervical cancer screening and what does it entail?
A Pap test screens for changes in the cells of the cervix. Finding changes early makes it easier to catch cancer in the “precancerous” stage and treat the condition before it can become serious. More information can be found from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
