Women 21-65 Who Had a Pap Test

State: Hawaii
Measurement Period: 2020
This indicator shows the percent of women ages 21-65 who have not had a hysterectomy and who have had a Pap test in the past three years.

Why is this important?

The Pap test checks for changes in the cells of the cervix that can be early signs of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer is a common cancer that has a very high cure or remission rate when caught early. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that all women ages 21-65 who have not had a hysterectomy be screened for cervical cancer. Women ages 21-29 should have a Pap test every 3 years. Women ages 30-65 should have a Pap test and an HPV cotest every 5 years, a Pap test alone every 3 years, or an HPV test alone every 5 years.
