Introduction
Each year over 10,000 women in the United States are
diagnosed with cervical cancer. 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). This test looks for abnormal changes in the cells of
the cervix that could lead to cancer if left untreated. If cell
changes are found early and treated, cervical cancer can be
prevented. Many Vietnamese women do not get regular Pap
tests. Most women who die from cervical cancer never had
a Pap test.
This brochure has information about cervical cancer
that EVERY Vietnamese woman should know to protect
her health.
