Description

What it is: A Pap smear (or Pap test) collects cells from the cervix to detect abnormalities that may indicate cervical cancer or precancerous conditions. The HPV test checks for the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), a leading cause of cervical cancer.

Why it’s important: Cervical cancer is highly preventable with regular screenings. Early detection of abnormal cells or HPV can lead to timely treatment and prevent cancer development.
