My previous blog post covered the basics of the cervical exam and abnormal results (read it here). Often times when abnormal cytology results show up, Gynecologists take a ‘watch and wait’ approach and patients are asked to come back in for a re-pap in 6 months.
The Pap Smear has been around since the 1940s, named after George Papanicolaou, it is a screening test for cervical cancer. In the 1940s – cervical cancer was the number one killer of women, through the development and use of this screening test, we have reduced the death rate for cervical cancer patients by 70%. Early detection has given us an edge in treating this condition.
