Pap smear is a test to detect the risk of cervical cancer and to study the changes in cells during early-stage cervical cancer. This simple test involves a gynaecologist collecting cells from the cervix (the lower and narrow end of the uterus) and a pathology team analysing the cells. As opposed to a conventional pap smear test, the pap smear liquid-based cytology test is more precise and has fewer instances of giving a false-positive result.
