What is a Pap Test?
A Pap test is a simple screening test that can help prevent cervical cancer
A Pap test looks for abnormal cell changes on the cervix, which is part of the female reproductive system
Cells are taken from the cervix and are sent to a lab to be looked at under a microscope.

Why get screening? Find it early! Colon cancer is
90% curable when found early
Cervical cancer is slow growing and cells can be found before cancer develops
