However, many women do not understand the purpose of the Pap Smear. To add to the confusion, there are new technologies available today that have never before been available. Hopefully, after reading this, some of your questions or fears may be answered. The Pap Smear was first described in 1943, and has since been used in ever increasing numbers. The Papa Smear is an evaluation of cells collected from the cervix. Both the external, or visible part, and the canal of the cervix are sampled. The cells are spread on the slide and permanently fixed. The slide is then sent to a pathologist to review for any abnormal cells that may be precancerous. It is credited with decreasing the rate of cervical cancer by 50-70% in the last 50 years. Ideally, if all women had their paps as currently recommended, cervical cancer would be eliminated, much like the use of vaccines have virtually eliminated certain illnesses such as smallpox. However, it is estimated that just over half of women in the United States have their yearly exam. We recommend that women begin their yearly Pap Smears when they turn 18 or earlier if they are sexually active. Yearly exams are recommended even for women in their menopause. If you have ever had an abnormal Pap, we may recommend more frequent exams. Pap Smears are even recommended for women who have had a hysterectomy. The timing of the exam with your cycle is important and should be performed when you are not on or close to your period Some new technologies are now available. You have probably seen these advertised in popular magazines and newspapers. Several computer screening services have been developed in the last few years. These services currently reveal only normal Pap Smears and re-screen them with a computer to see if any abnormal cells are found. If any abnormal cells are detected by the computer, those slides are re-reviewed by a pathologist. Therefore, a person is still ultimately reviewing your Pap. These methods are more costly and are rarely covered by insurance companies. Another new service is called Thinprep Pap. The difference between this and the current Pap is simply the way the cells are placed on the slide. The cells are collected in the same way, and reviewed the same way, but the cells are placed on the slide differently to avoid clumping and mucous. This aids the pathologist in reading your smear and should decrease the number of times the pathologist cannot see abnormal cells. Once again, this procedure is more expensive than routine Pap Smears and may not covered by your insurance. The bottom line, we highly recommend the Pap Smear. We feel it is a good, reliable, cost-effective, possibly life-saving test. We have confidence in the laboratories where our Pap Smear slides are reviewed. We urge all women to have their yearly paps. If you have more questions regarding some of the new technologies we will be happy to discuss this with you at your annual checkup.
