The Pap Smear Test allows doctors to examine cervical tissue for the presence of anbormal and/or cancer cells. Pap Smear screening also can detect abnormailities, such as a 100% treatable pre-cancerous condition called dysplasia that, if left untreated, could lead to invasive cervical cancer in the future.

Cervical Cancer develops and progresses very slowly. As such, Pap Smear Tests performed regularly and read accurately, combined with prompt treatment when indicated, make invasive Cervical Cancer a preventable and treatable disease.

The slow progression of cervical tissue from normal cervical tissue, through several pre-cancerous changes, to invasive Cervical Cancer and metastasis (spreading to other parts of the body) provides many opportunites for diagnosis and treatment.

When the opportunities for early diagnosis and treatment are missed and invasive Cervical Cancer delevops as a result, medical malpractice has occurred.
