What Cervical Cancer Screening (Cytology / Pap Test) can reveal & when to get it
This test collects cells from the cervix and examines them under a microscope to check for cancer or its precursors (dysplasia). Note that, under national guidelines, municipalities that meet the required implementation standards may also offer the HPV test alone (for individuals aged 30 and older, once every 5 years). Abnormalities can be detected at the precancerous stage.
Main conditions it can detect and evaluate
- Cervical cancer
- Cervical dysplasia (precancerous lesions)
- Effects of HPV infection
When to consider this test

Screening interval: Women aged 20 and older: once every 2 years is the standard (organized/population-based screening).
