Pap Test

The Papanicolaou smear (Pap test) is a test used to screen women for cervical precancer or cancer. Testing for human papilloma virus (HPV), see below, is another type of test for cervical cancer that can be used in women over age 30 in conjunction with the Pap test. Pap tests can find cervical cancer and precancer in the early stages when it can be treated, and thus may reduce the number of deaths from cervical cancer.

Breast Exam

Taking a few minutes to do a breast self-exam a minimum of once a month can make a lifetime of difference. Breast self-exam (BSE), or regularly examining your breasts on your own, can be an important way to find a breast cancer early, when it's more likely to be treated successfully. These pages contain resources and information on examining your breast.
