Topic
Memorial Hospital: Are You Expecting? What to Expect
Topic Info
Over the last several decades, routine Pap smears didn't just lower the rate of invasive cervical cancer by 74 percent. The Pap test also helped improve medical understanding of cervical cancer, particularly its cause — human papillomavirus (HPV) infection — and the way it develops. This and other insights led the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to make changes in the recommended Pap schedule. Tammy Gillett, APRN, NP, explains what these changes may mean to you.
