[TOPIC] Cervical Cancer [REC] A [NOTES] 
Good evidence from multiple observational studies that screening with Pap smears reduces incidence of and mortality from cervical cancer. USPSTF recommends screening for cervical cancer in women ages 21 to 65 years with cytology (Pap smear) every 3 years or, for women ages 30 to 65 years who want to lengthen the screening interval, screening with a combination of cytology and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing every 5 years. USPSTF recommends against screening for cervical cancer in women younger than age 21 years See the Clinical Considerations for discussion of cytology method, HPV testing, and screening interval. Consider stopping screening > 65 y/o if women has had adequate screening with 3 negative findings in past and no abnormal Pap tests in 10 yrs. Be alert to screen any women who has not had adequate screening in past.
