The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has developed a new patient education booklet called Pap Tests: Things to Know. This 8-page, easy-to-read booklet is now available in print and online and answers women’s common questions about Pap tests while emphasizing the message that regular Pap testing can prevent cervical cancer. You can view this brochure or download a printable PDF at http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pap-tests-things-to-know.pdf.
Additional NCI educational materials about cervical cancer include:
