Description

Vietnamese-American women get cervical cancer more often than most other women. There is a simple, 5-minute test called the Pap test (or Pap smear) which looks for abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix that could lead to cancer if left untreated. Many Vietnamese women do not get regular Pap tests. This brochure has information about cervical cancer that every Vietnamese woman should know to protect her health.
