“1 in 5 cervical cancer cases are missed due to incomplete testing, but by choosing 2 tests – the Pap and the HPV co-test – instead of the HPV test alone, all those with a cervix have the best possible chance of catching cervical cancer early.
I’ve had patients who initially put off their screenings but were so thankful that they went through with the procedure, since the test caught their cell changes early.
Regular screenings are the first step in preventing and detecting cancer. This is super important to ensure that even if cell changes are present, they are still caught early enough to be treated successfully.”
