Marjorie is a healthcare provider in Georgia who is committed to providing her patients with access to important cancer screenings, including the combined Pap and HPV tests. Teaming up with the Pap is the best way for a doctor and her patient to prevent cancer and ensure a long and healthy life for all women.

“For years, it has been recommended that cervical cancer screening tests include the Pap and HPV test.
…
Utilizing both the Pap and HPV tests has allowed me to determine which patients have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer. The two tests provide a more comprehensive screening and should remain a part of your routine wellness exam.
…
I cannot even begin to imagine the poor outcome of women who are at greater risk for cervical cancer and do not know because they have not been tested. That is why it is imperative for women to have the knowledge and a voice when it comes to their treatment and care. I will do my part and continue to screen patients and empower them to take control of their reproductive health.”

AD|𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐊𝐞𝐲!|As a healthcare provider, there are several health screenings that I recommend to my patients. Cervical cancer screening is one of them. For years, it has been recommended that cervical cancer screening tests include the Pap and HPV test. A Pap test (or Pap Smear) is a test that can identify changes in the cells of the cervix (the lowermost portion of the uterus) while the HPV (human papillomavirus) test identifies the virus that can cause those changes. The screening is relatively fast and simple and the frequency in which you are screened is based on your age and gynecological history. Utilizing both the Pap and HPV tests has allowed me to determine which patients have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer. The two tests provide a more comprehensive screening and should remain a part of your routine wellness exam. Did you know that before the introduction of the Pap test, cervical cancer was the #1 cause of cancer-related death in women? Now it is #14! That is a pretty significant difference right? I cannot even begin to imagine the poor outcome of women who are at greater risk for cervical cancer and do not know because they have not been tested. That is why is is imperative for women to have the knowledge and a voice when it comes to their treatment and care. I will do my part and continue to screen patients and empower them to take control of their reproductive health.
