Cervical screening
Cervical screening is a test to screen for cervical cancers. New cervical screening test procedures are similar to a Pap smear test. For both tests a doctor or nurse takes a sample of cells from the cervix. However, the Pap smear test used to look for abnormal cells in the cervix, while the cervical screening test looks for HPV infection.
