Abstract

Recommendations for cervical cancer screening have had remarkable agreement from a number of medical societies, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), American Cancer Society (ACS), American Society of Cervical Colposcopy and Pathology (ASCCP), and the US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF). Reference to the recommended age for screening may need to be re-examined, in light of current data regarding the comparative age-related incidence of cervical malignancy, especially when recognizing the past utility of screening with exfoliative cytology in reducing subsequent mortality.
