Pap Smear Kit

Description

A Pap smear is a procedure that involves collecting cells from the cervix for testing. It also is called a Pap test. Healthcare professionals sometimes call it cervical cytology.

A Pap test is often used to look for cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is cancer that starts as a growth of cells in the cervix. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus that opens into the vagina. Cervical cancer screening with a Pap test can find cervical cancer early, when it’s more likely to be cured.

In addition to looking for cancer cells, a Pap test also looks for cells that could become cancer in the future. If the test finds precancerous cells, treatments could help prevent cancer.
