Screening Test for Cervical Cancer

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Yes, the Papanicolaou test (PAP) is a simple, painless test that takes a few seconds and has reduced the occurrence of false negatives and false positives. Additionally, the cytobrush test, when combined with the PAP, allows for the early detection of endocervical cancer in specific conditions.

Thanks
