Abstract: 
The taking of a pap smear is a screening test provided to women to detect the early stages of what is called cervical cancer or in laymen's terms cancer of the "mouth of the womb". If early signs of cancer are detected, further investigations are done and treatment given where appropriate. The earlier cancer is treated, the more likely the chances are of recovery.
