Dealing Cervical Cancer a Knockout Blow

Date:4/18/2008

ales are still two to three years away, she said.

For older women, the best way to prevent cervical cancer is through the Pap test.

Cervical cancer tends to occur in midlife, with half of women diagnosed between the ages of 35 and 55, according to the American Cancer Society.

Under current cancer society guidelines, all women should begin cervical cancer screening about three years after they begin having vaginal intercourse but no later than age 21. Testing should be done every year with the regular Pap test or every two years using a newer liquid-based Pap test.

Beginning at age 30, most women who have had three normal Pap test results in a row can space out their screenings to every two to three years.

Most women 70 or older who have had three or more normal Pap tests in a row and no abnormal Pap test results in the last 10 years can choose to stop having the test.
