Test Overview
PAP smear test performed for the detection of cervical cancer in women. It also detects early precencerous changes in the cells and hence with timely intervention progression to cancer can be prevented. The cells are collected from the cervix (lower end of vagina). Early detection helps in better diagnosis and prognosis. It is recommended between 25 years of age up to 65 years. As per (ACS/ASCCP/ASCP) tests should be done every 3 years. The frequency depends on the previous gynaecological history, risk factors and the tests undertaken.
Overview
A Pap smear is a screening test that helps in the diagnosis of cervical cancer. It is usually done during a pelvic examination. The doctor will use a speculum to open the vagina and visualise the cervix (the lower and narrow end of the uterus). A small brush or spatula is then used to collect cells from the surface or outer layer of the cervix. The cells are then placed on a slide and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Pap smear is effective in detecting and reducing the incidence of cervical cancer, which is estimated to reduce by up to 70%. The American Cancer Society recommends that women 21 to 65 years of age take a Pap smear test every 3 years.
What is Pap Smear Test?
A Papanicolaou smear, also called a Pap smear, is a method of cervical cancer screening. The test involves collecting cells from the cervix and examining them under a microscope, after staining the cells with PAP stain. Pap smears can detect abnormal cells that may become cancerous if left untreated.
Why is the Pap smear test by conventional method done?
- The Pap smear can also be used to screen for other conditions of the cervix, such as infections and inflammation.
- In some cases, the Pap smear may be done as part of a routine gynaecological examination, even if there are no symptoms present.
- Pap smears can be used to screen for human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a risk factor for cervical cancer.
