Just days after a government task force changed what we'd always been told about mammograms, there's new advice on pap smears. OB-GYNs say most women can wait longer for their first one, and don't need to get them every year. The American College of OB-GYNs says women under 21 don't need them at all, women in their 20s can get them every other year and women over 30 with a history of normal pap smears can be screened every three years until they're 65 or 70. The study argues that because cervical cancer develops slowly skipping screenings won't make a difference. "We'll still be able to detect it in a timely fashion, yet put women, particularly young women, at less risk," says Dr. Cheryl Iglesia. There's literally a one in a million chance of developing cervical cancer before age 21, yet teenagers are often screened and treated for abnormalities that experts say would clear up on their own. "These patients, based on the fact that they've had minimally abnormal pap smears, wind up getting part of their cervix removed or destroyed and that weakens the cervix causing problems with future pregnancies," says Vanderbilt University's Dr. Howard Jones. The new advice comes just days after a government task force recommended fewer mammograms. The OG-GYNs say it's a coincidence, but it's one that leaves women wondering: Why so much furor over mammograms, but not over pap smears? This time there's more agreement on the evidence. "Since we feel this is not going to change our ability to screen for cancer, I think we're all in agreement of this recommendation change," says. Dr. Jones. Women are still urged to get an annual exam. The American Cancer Society, which opposed the mammogram recommendation, supports this one on pap smears. [www.clipsyndicate.com | KOB Albuquerque]
