Pap Test: An Ounce of Prevention = A Pound of Cure!
A pap test helps detect early signs of cervical cancer. Individuals from ages 21 - 65 are at highest risk, thus screening should start at age 21. Ninety-two percent of people survive cervical cancer if diagnosed early. The frequency of a pap smear depends on age, specific risk factors, and previous test results, so talk to your doctor to see if this is right for you. Screening for cervical cancer is preventive care, so there is no cost to you if you are covered by the Emory Aetna or Kaiser medical plans and use in-network providers. Schedule your screening today!
