Cervical cancer
- At the age of 21 to 29, women are advised to get screened for cervical cancer with a Pap every three years.
- Between the ages of 30 and 65, women should be co-tested (Includes a pap test and HPV test) every five years.
- 65 years old women that have done standard cervical screening should not do it again.
- In the presence of a history of severe cervical precancer, testing should continue for 20 years after that diagnosis (even if it extends past 65).
- Women that have had complete hysterectomies don’t need to be tested unless there is a history of cervical cancer or precancer.
